Oh, The Places You'll Go With Route Scouts!
SVBC is excited to announce the official opening of Virtual Bike Route Scouts, our new route assistance program for trips in San Mateo and Santa Clara County.
Just click this link to access the route request form and submit it to our Route Scout team. A Route Scout familiar with the location of your ride will create a bike-friendly route for you. It'll include a map, turn-by-turn directions, and any advice they might have to make your ride a smooth one.
Try a new route and go more places by bike! Know someone who wants to ride on Bike to Work Day but doesn’t know a good route? Connect them to Route Scouts! A big win for new and veteran bicyclists!
