You want to collaborate with mission-driven organizations that you can relate to. CalBike is an ideal partner, positioned at the vanguard of the growing movement to decarbonize our transportation sector and rethink our shared urban spaces.

CalBike plays an important role in galvanizing action, influencing statewide policy, and forming collaborations with other advocacy organizations and corporate partners that accelerate positive change.

As a business, you command influence among your customers, team, vendors, and suppliers, and you have technical, financial, and communications resources that can support CalBike’s mission to mitigate climate change by making active transportation a safe, appealing option for all Californians.

CalBike produces several public events such as the California Bicycle Summit, CalBike Symposia and the CalBike Joint Action Meetings (JAMs).
