Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition – SVBC

Our Vision Imagine a street you love, filled with people of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, and cultures bicycling. It is so safe, comfortable, and fun that kids and their grandparents think nothing of hopping on their bikes for trips to the local park, a grocery store, or a friend’s house. With less money spent on transportation and better access to jobs and services, we can keep more people from being displaced or left unhoused. People get together in vibrant gatherings, building a strong community, and the people and planet are healthier. Why We Exist Our region is facing a host of monumental, intertwined crises: high transportation and housing costs; growing inequities based on race and income; climate disruption; a lack of physical activity and growing health problems. At the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, we believe that one simple tool – the humble bicycle – can combat these challenges while making our communities greener and healthier. We have one overarching goal: increase the number and diversity of people using bicycles for everyday transportation. To make that happen, SVBC works to overcome the three C’s, barriers that keep people from bicycling: Cultu.
