REGIONAL GOVERNMENT AIMING TO SEVERELY LIMIT RICHMOND-SAN RAFAEL BRIDGE PATH. In November 2019, after decades of advocacy, a multiuse path was opened on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, connecting Marin and the East Bay for people traveling outside of a motor vehicle for the first time in history. Since then, the bridge path has been used hundreds of thousands of times by people traveling by foot or by bicycle. Read the full story here. https://lnkd.in/gURizqFQ

Create a healthy, connected, and sustainable Marin by promoting bicycling for everyday transportation and recreation
About us
Founded in 1998, Marin County Bicycle Coalition (MCBC) advances the common good of cycling for a better Marin. When you ride Marin's roads, trails and pathways, you Experience MCBC. MCBC GIVES CYCLISTS A VOICE We advocate vigorously for increased bicycle & pedestrian funding, interconnected routes, and policies to enable a great ride. We are always looking forward, working to build a bike-friendly Marin. MCBC EDUCATES THE NEXT GENERATION We help build new rider confidence through safety and skills education— from classes teaching parents the joy of cycling with their children, to programs demonstrating the benefits of green transportation. MCBC BUILDS THE CYCLING COMMUNITY Every new cyclist is a power for good. We support Marin'’s diverse cycling community. Our network of events is a central hub for cyclists of all ages and skill levels to connect, learn, ride, and have fun. Our Road Advocacy Program builds the political support needed to identify, promote and fund bike and pedestrian improvements in Marin. Safety and connectivity between communities are the driving themes. We work closely with our public agency partners toward completing the North-South and East-West Greenways, Marin’'s primary bicycle and pedestrian routes. The MCBC Off-Road Program expands mountain biking opportunities through education, environmental stewardship and trail development. We are committed to bridging gaps in Marin’'s trails network, while also maintaining and restoring existing trails. This effort is guided by the vision of one day riding from the Golden Gate Bridge to Point Reyes, all off-road. Safe Routes to Schools improves the quality of life for entire school communities through education, encouragement and infrastructure improvements. Presented in partnership with the Transportation Authority of Marin, Safe Routes teaches cycling skills and promotes healthy lifestyles, while championing green transportation.

During Tom’s 16 years at MCBC, he created and grew great community programs and marquee events such as the Dirt Fondo, Adventure Revival, Jane Fondo, and Biketoberfest. These would not have happened without Tom. So many things would not have happened without Tom! Come raise a glass.

More Good news and fights for MCBC! Caltrans, California’s state transportation agency, is in the early stages of a project to address sea level rise on US-101 and Route 1 between Marin City and the Manzanita Park & Ride. In advance of the project’s kick-off meeting on February 29th, MCBC members sent upward of 80 letters to the agency demanding that the project include the Mill Valley-Sausalito Path as well, and not just the highway. Thank you to all who helped! To learn more, https://lnkd.in/gMd3kfPm.

We are thrilled to announce that Cory's Ride has been awarded an $88k grant from the Marin County participatory budgeting program. Thanks to YOUR support, we can continue to get more kids in Marin on their own bikes, with all the education and experience they need to stay safe on the road. A massive thank you to everyone who voted and helped spread the word. This funding is game-changing for our work with kids in our communities. https://lnkd.in/eB6ixqEd

Electric bicycles, or e-bikes, are reliable, affordable, and sustainable and provide an independent transportation option for those unable to drive. These are all things that MCBC wholeheartedly supports. We love to see more people experiencing the joy, freedom, and health benefits that cycling provides. Riding an e-bike is strongly aligned with our mission to help people of all ages and abilities ride their bikes safely in Marin. However, with their rise in popularity, the market for e-bikes has been flooded with a wide range of products, and some have noticed that many of these “e-bikes” look a lot more like a motorbike. So what’s the deal? Learn more....https://lnkd.in/eVFPGKFt
