Celebrating safe and accessible cycling throughout San Diego
Each year, the Joy Ride is a chance to celebrate both cycling and the tremendous progress made in 2021 to make biking more accessible and safer across San Diego County. Along with celebrating the joy of the holidays, the Joy Ride is also an opportunity for those joining in on the fun to learn, firsthand, how to safely ride through city streets, a necessary skill for cyclists of all skill levels. Group events hosted by the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition like Joy Ride additionally highlights how safe cycling infrastructure makes cycling more enjoyable and accessible.
