Welcome to Pedal Power Week on Permie.net!

First up is a great local non-profit, the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition. These are the advocates for safe pedal-powered transportation in Sonoma county:

The Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition promotes bicycling for transportation and recreation and works to educate the community about bicycle safety and the benefits of cycling, including good health and protecting the environment. [...] We represent interests ranging from employees riding to work, students riding to school, residents running errands and attending events, recreational cyclists out for exercise and fun, and bike tourists enjoying the pleasures of Sonoma County.

The coalition is active in Sonoma county politics and sponsors or participates in a plethora of events throughout the year. If you have any questions about laws, policies, and best practices as a bike commuter or as a business, check out their Bike Issues page.

Consider becoming a member to support safe cycling in Sonoma county. Some membership levels even include their excellent Bike Sonoma Map, a great guide to recommended bike route throughout the county. (The map is also available at most local bike shops and on Amazon.com.
