Bike Bakersfield

"In a 2019 study by Tufts University students for the Boston Cyclists Union, one interviewee said that people of color see cycling as 'something that white people do' and that they are simply not represented in Boston’s biking culture, or many other U.S. cities. This poses as much a challenge as infrastructure because it speaks to deep-seated perceptions of who should, or should not, be cycling. Bluntly put, there is a population of cyclists of color in the U.S., who are largely unrecognized, underreported and unrepresented."

Looking for a great community of road cyclists for all ages, abilities, and levels? Join the Kern Wheelmen Bakersfield! Join soon and vote in their board elections!

WOW!! Coachella Valley Association of Governments-CVAG CV Link will ultimately span more than 40 miles, from Palm Springs to Coachella, and connect schools, parks, employment centers, other public spaces. The $100 million project will become the spine of a new active transportation network built in the heart of existing cities to improve air quality and public health for generations. ‘CV Link fulfills a decade-long vision to connect the Coachella Valley with a hiking and biking path, CVAG’s Kirk said. ‘Far too many people are discouraged from running and walking along our roadways because they see how dangerous it can be. We need to get cyclists and pedestrians off the sides of our roads and on to safe routes of their own.’’
