Bikes have to be one of the most versatile inventions of all time. They’re transportation, entertainment, and exercise all in one. You can even rig one to turn human power into electricity if you really want. They may have been around for a long time, but they’re still a surprisingly good solution to many of our society’s problems. That’s why the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition was started to promote the bicycle for everyday use. They’re a San Jose, CA based non-profit that is working to “to create a healthy community, environment, and economy through bicycling for people who live, work, or play in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties.”

Ride with the Coalition

Biking tends to be a local issue because its affected by things like traffic laws, road/bike path construction, and other things that are the realm of counties and municipalities. That’s why you see locally focused organizations like the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition. The Coalition runs a variety of programs that help people in their area bike more. These include Bicycle Eduation Classes, a Bicycle Exchange, a Bike Friendly Work Program, Bike to Work Day, Route Maps, and even a Valet Parking Service. If this sounds like the kind of stuff that you’d like to work on, visit Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition’s Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for a Communications Coordinator.
