Grassroots bike advocacy is sprouting up all around us – a very good thing!

A group of locals who regularly ride along Santa Fe Street and are unhappy with the conditions of the street are meeting this Sunday at 10 AM to organize and help transform San Diego into a more bicycle friendly city. Their promotional video is below:

The group will meet at the point where Santa Fe Street dead ends into the Rose Canyon Bicycle Path [map]. Inspired by the local riders who are organizing to get some changes implemented in San Diego and by our Portland counterparts, this group hopes to add their voice to the growing chorus of San Diegans who want to live in a more bicycle friendly, and livable San Diego.

UPDATED 10/4/2012 :In response to a comment below, we clarified a few details and learned that this can be called a “work project”.

The Goals are:

1) Come up with safe solutions to current problems (present ideas to city council members?)

2) Cleanup Gilman Drive bike lane and Rose Canyon bike paths (time permitting)
Participants should bring a tool if possible (clippers for tree/shrub branches on Gilman Dr, brooms to sweep away debris, measuring tape).
