23 Atwood Avenue, Sausalito, CA 94965
Come together with other biking enthusiasts and show your support for the Marin County Bicycle Coalition! Sausalito is the gateway for cyclists, and people from around the world bicycle across the Golden Gate Bridge specifically to visit the historic Sausalito waterfront. Those on their daily bike commute to San Francisco also pass through the streets, and residents cycle for recreation, exercise, and transportation to and from work and school. When paired with aging infrastructure, over-crowded streets, and inexperienced riders unnecessary conflicts and frustration between walkers, cyclists, and drivers arise. This soiree is a unique opportunity to bring together Sausalito residents, city leaders, the Marin County Bicycle Coalition team and the Safe Routes to School enthusiasts to strategize the bike-friendly future everyone wants for Sausalito!
