This is SABA:
We’re helping make the Sacramento region a cleaner, healthier, happier place to live and work because we:
- Improve bike infrastructure and make our streets safer through Advocacy.
- Turn community events into bikeable destinations through our Bike Valet program.
- Provide free maintenance checks and simple repairs through Ride Ready Repair to keep bikes rolling safely.
- Work to get more people to choose an e-bike for short trips around town with our E-bike Education and Experience Project.
- Connect bike donors with people needing bikes through BikeMatchSac.
- Provide lights for bicycle safety at night through Lights On.
- Provide skills training to teach the basics of bicycling safely and confidently.
- Help businesses be more bike-friendly by providing Support for Businesses.
Electric Cars Don’t Solve the Problem of Carbon Emissions
.We know that’s a bold statement to make, but it’s gonna take more than EV’s to turn the climate crisis around. We’re not saying don’t purchase an EV if you have the means to do it, but there are other things that you can do, and since we are bicycle advocates, we are gonna focus on those.
Ride your bike! Use it for short trips around town. Every time you choose your bike instead of your vehicle you are saving CO2 emissions which contribute to rising heat and vehicles add to congestion. We are traffic!
Consider an e-bike! We’ve been taking a fleet of e-bikes to events around the region and everyone who gets on one, LOVES it! The state is working on a voucher program, which we hope launches soon, but in the meantime, reach out to us to find out where we’ll be with our E-Bike Education and Experience team. We’ll help you think through all the attributes of e-bikes to help you decide which bike might be right for you. More on e-bike basics.
