Basementeer Spotlight: San Francisco Bicycle Coalition

 

Thanks to our Basementeers Sports Basement was able to give over $8,000 to the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition!

Donations to the SF Bicycle Coalition Education Fund allows us to give away hundreds of bikes to folks that need a new way to get around, advocate for more protected bike lanes, and provide free multilingual bike education classes.

PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES

ADVOCACY

The SF Bicycle Coalition advocates for everyone’s equitable access to safe, affordable, and healthy transportation to create a just city. From the Presidio to Crocker Amazon and from the Outer Sunset to the Bayview, their team of talented community organizers works closely with their members, local stakeholders, City staff, and elected officials throughout San Francisco to advance better streets in all our neighborhoods and encourage more people to bike. From spot improvements to protected bike lanes, the SF Bicycle Coalition is working hard to improve your ride.

EDUCATION

The SF Bicycle Coalition is proud to be the leading local resource for street safety. They reach tens of thousands of people every year, from toddlers through adults, with free bicycle education classes and resources. Since the pandemic began, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition has seen a nearly 200% increase in the number of people attending their (now virtual or socially distant) bike education classes. Sign up for a class and learn how to get comfortable and confident on the road.
