- A Ventura County where anyone, no matter age or ability, can cruise to the beach, post office, or to a friend’s house, without worry…
- A Ventura County where errands can be accomplished on bike, bus, or through other active transportation modes…
- A Ventura County where kids can ride around the neighborhood, to the beach, and to school…
This is our dream. Is it yours, too?
BikeVC’s mission is to grow a safe, healthy community through equitable bicycle education, empowerment, and advocacy throughout Ventura County.
