Since 2018, Love to Ride has partnered with Ecology Action to drive positive environmental change in Santa Cruz, California. Our journey together began with two workplace-based bike challenges: Bike Month and Biketober, designed to promote biking as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation.
Today, the program has evolved into a complete biking transportation program that not only engages riders but also provides planners and program manager the data and maps they need to make biking safer in Santa Cruz County.
