Bike lanes are an essential part of Sacramento's transportation network, providing safe and comfortable routes for people biking to work, school, shops, and recreational destinations. Over the past decade, the city has invested heavily in new protected bike lanes, expanded riverfront trails, and converted former railroad corridors into vibrant cycling routes.

As our bicycle network continues to grow, so does the need to maintain it. Glass, leaves, gravel, litter, and other debris can quickly accumulate in bike lanes, creating hazards that force cyclists into traffic or increase the risk of crashes and flat tires. Building great bike infrastructure is only half the battle—keeping it clean and safe is equally important.

That's where our Bike Lane Sweepers come in.

Thanks to a SHINE Grant from SMUD, the Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates (SABA) purchased two innovative bike lane sweepers designed specifically for cleaning bicycle facilities. These compact sweepers are towed by electric bicycles, allowing us to efficiently reach bike lanes, trails, and protected facilities throughout the city without the cost, emissions, or logistical challenges of traditional street-sweeping equipment.
