About Us

Who We Are

We are a group of Sunnyvale residents and we are a local chapter of the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC). We are united by our love for biking, comradery, and our shared mission and vision.

Our Mission

Our purpose is to create a healthy community, environment, and economy through bicycling for people who live, work, or play in Sunnyvale.

Our Vision

We envision a community that values, includes, and encourages bicycling for all purposes for all people. View more info about SVBC's vision and goals here.

What is bicycle advocacy?

Our bicycle advocacy boils down to 3 main categories.

Advocacy Campaigns

The city is constantly redesigning its streets. When these projects happen, we push elected officials (usually city council) to select the design that is safest for biking. We also push for more funding for bicycle projects and bicycle-friendly city policy changes. We do all of this by:

• Meeting with elected officials

• Speaking at City Council meetings

• Organizing email writing campaigns to the city council

Getting more people biking

We encourage more people to ride their bikes through:

• Free Bike Repair Events

• Social rides

• Bike to Work Day (usually late May)

Outreach

• Tabling to recruit more members

• Encouraging businesses to install bike racks with the city's Free Bike Rack Installation Program

• Social media (Facebook, Instagram)
