Our 2026 Progress

With our supporters and partners, CalBike helped advance safer streets, strengthen e-bike consumer protections, and stop new barriers to riding. Here’s what we accomplished together in 2026.

Better Connections – AB 2168 Signed into Law

Getting more people walking and biking means funding projects that connect the places they need to go. CalBike-sponsored AB 2168 strengthens California’s Active Transportation Program by improving how projects are chosen, funded, and delivered. The new law prioritizes connections to public transportation and encourages leveraging additional funding to  build complete networks for walking and biking.

Truth in Biking – SB 1167 Signed into Law

People buying an e-bike deserve to know what they’re getting. CalBike-co-sponsored SB 1167 strengthens consumer protections by drawing a clear line between legal e-bikes and high-powered electric devices too often marketed as e-bikes. The new law supports truthful labeling and protects the role of e-bikes as a practical, accessible transportation option for Californians of all ages and abilities.

Protecting the Freedom to Ride – Harmful E-Bike Bills Stopped

As e-bikes help more people replace car trips, new restrictions threatened to make riding harder. CalBike and our allies helped stop three bills that would have imposed requirements such as DMV registration, license plates, and lower assisted-speed limits on legal e-bikes. Together, we defended access to a transportation option that more families, commuters, and older adults are choosing every day.

Our Strategic Plan: A Future Full of Bicycles

Our Vision: safe, just, healthy communities where all Californians enjoy the benefits of the bicycle.

CalBike advances its mission in three ways:

  • We conduct legislative and administrative advocacy, developing new policies at the state level which turn into laws such as the “Three Feet to Pass” law, and advance policy adoption and implementation within state agencies, through participation in advisory committees and through outside advocacy.
  • CalBike provides education primarily through content targeted to legislators, people who ride bikes, and the general public. We advance with adoption of a mindset that values bicycles as a transportation mode, and bicyclists as vulnerable road users worth protecting.
  • We are a movement builder, serving as a convener for local and regional bicycle and bike/walk organizations, and provide technical guidance and support as needed.
