Biking for the Climate

Replace short car trips with bike trips to reduce your impact on the environment!

We are in a climate crisis and everything we can do to reduce carbon emissions is an important step to reducing the impact. Riding a bike instead of driving a car, if you can, is a low cost enjoyable way to do your part.

SABA works to make bicycle riding safer and more efficient in the Sacramento region by advocating for infrastructure improvements and educating cyclists how to navigate through the city. We provide free repair clinics and free bikes and educate residents how to choose and safely ride e-bikes.

Most daily car trips are less than 3 miles so riding a bike (or an e-bike) instead is doable for most people. On average, you reduce your carbon emissions from transportation by 67-75% when you choose a bike over a car just once a day.
