Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition

Bici centro shops are our community bicycle shops. Bicycles and parts are donated, refurbished and sold to the public at reduced costs. The public can also bring their bicycles for reduced-cost repairs or participate in a do-it-yourself program where they are matched with a mechanic who provides guidance and education as they repair their own bicycles.

Our advocacy and outreach programs educate the community on safe walking and bicycling facilities and high-quality transit networks and encourage them to take action to get facilities built, programs instituted, and policies updated. Providing bike parking (bike valet) at events encourages riding, reduces the need for vehicle parking and supports environmental sustainability.

Adult classes - our education programs teach adults how to ride for the first time, safe walking and bicycling, and basic bicycle mechanics.
