OUR WORK
Learn more about the work BikeLA is doing around LA County
BikeLA engages in a wide variety of policy, advocacy, education, and community building work to make the streets of Los Angeles County more bike-friendly for all who ride a bike and all who want to ride a bike. Many of our campaigns are led by volunteers, and we invite you to get involved!
Be Safe, Be Seen!
Operation Firefly/Operación Luciérnaga is BikeLA's signature education and bike light distribution program to ensure people riding bikes in Los Angeles County are riding safely at night. Since 2012, we have distributed over 16,000 bike lights and safety materials across Los Angeles County. In partnership with our Chapter members and Volunteers, we distribute across the county where night-time and early morning ridership is high. Operation Firefly/Operación Luciérnaga is generously Sponsored by Waymo.
Small businesses needed more support than ever as a result of the COVID pandemic and as a way to help, BikeLA teamed up with Sunset4All to launch the first #BikesMeanBusiness promotion, encouraging our community to patronize specific businesses along the Sunset Blvd. From there, the program has continued to grow countywide and will continue to encourage bicyclists and pedestrians to help their keep their local small businesses around by directing their spending.
BikeLA's informational materials and class schedules
Education is a core tenant of BikeLA's mission. It’s our goal to educate as many people as possible about riding a bicycle in LA County. We do so through a variety of channels.
BikeLA’s newest program, Cruise + Connect, brings together cyclists of all skill levels across Los Angeles County to share the many benefits of bicycling. Our goal is to bring the community together and increase daily ridership to reduce car traffic and greenhouse gas emissions, improve public health through sustainable exercise, and cultivate more vibrant neighborhoods where residents are more connected to the businesses and institutions within their commutes. Our Cruise + Connect program is at no cost to all participants! Check out upcoming rides and classes here.
Cruise + Connect is generously Sponsored by Lyft.
