At Pedal Movement, we know you want alternative transportation to be a viable option for every member of your community. The problem is that navigating cities by bicycle can be dangerous, and owning a bike is expensive and requires technical knowledge, which leaves people feeling fearful and discouraged. We believe that when more people use bicycles for transportation, streets are safer and communities prosper. That’s why you need an alternative transportation expert to remove barriers-to-entry for bicycling and help transform the way your city moves. We understand what bicyclists need because, first and foremost, we are bicyclists. That’s how we’ve helped the City of Long Beach become one of the top 10 most bicycle friendly cities in the US. We simplify the process of making cities more accessible by identifying your unique transportation challenges and tailoring a strategic solution specific to your city. Then, we put in the hard work while you watch your community thrive.
