The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition is a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization "dedicated to making bicycling better in San Diego." It aims to do this through educational programs, promoting awareness of bicyclists and bicycling issues, reviewing infrastructure improvements, and acting as a voice for bicyclists to elected officials and decisionmakers throughout the San Diego region.
The coalition represents all of San Diego County instead of only a single city since there are many medium-sized cities in the county that are currently too small to support their own bicycle advocacy groups. The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition has a dues-paying membership of about 1,000 people, and a full-time Executive Director, Kathy Keehan.
Famous quotes containing the words san, county and/or bicycle:
“We had won. Pimps got out of their polished cars and walked the streets of San Francisco only a little uneasy at the unusual exercise. Gamblers, ignoring their sensitive fingers, shook hands with shoeshine boys.... Beauticians spoke to the shipyard workers, who in turn spoke to the easy ladies.... I thought if war did not include killing, I’d like to see one every year. Something like a festival.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“It would astonish if not amuse, the older citizens of your County who twelve years ago knew me a stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a flat boat—at ten dollars per month to learn that I have been put down here as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Newspapers are unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilisation.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
