Light Up the Night Service Station
5-7:30PM | Mission District With Daylight Savings comes a greater need for bicycle lights on our evening commute. With our amazing volunteers, we help to Light Up the Night by installing white front lights and red back lights on the bicycles of people who need them. If you're riding in the dark without lights, we hope you will use your Membership Discount to buy lights at one of our partner bike shops! If you’d like to be one of our light station heroes, sign up to volunteer here. In an effort to light up riders who truly need lights, we do not disclose the station locations in advance.

833 Market Street, 10th floor
San Francisco, CA 94103

This Wednesday at 10:30AM, the Board of Supervisors’ Budget Committee will be holding a hearing to discuss the future of biking in San Francisco. Thanks to Supervisor Eric Mar for calling for this hearing to discuss how to implement the SF Municipal Transportation Agency’s 2013-2018 Bicycle Strategy. Bike projects are cheap and incredibly cost-effective, yet San Francisco is currently starving the budget for biking projects -- and won’t get real about investing in biking unless key decision-makers hear from you.
We’re in the final stage of getting the City to include wider, more inviting sidewalks as part of the repaving in 2014 on Columbus Avenue. There are all different ways to get involved!
