Coastside on Bikes is concerned with providing bicycle access for those in our community who most rely on them for transportation.

Through partnerships with local social services agencies, namely Abundant Grace Coastside Worker, Coastside Hope, Ayudando Latinos a Soñar (ALAS), and local elementary schools, we provide bike repair and donated bicycles to clients of these agencies who are in need of a bike. Since 2022 we’ve re-homed over 200 bikes!

We focus on the following:

  • matching donated bikes with those in the community in need of a bicycle

  • bringing volunteer bike mechanics to work on participants' bikes at Abundant Grace

  • refurbishing donated bikes

  • engaging in advocacy work for trails and safe streets on the Coastside

  • conducting safe riding events such as bike rodeos and educational outreach

  • Abundant Grace

    Abundant Grace transforms lives through our job-readiness programming: taking people experiencing homelessness to grow and harvest over 20,000 pounds of fresh, organic produce for free distribution to low-income families at our Full Circle Food Justice Program; and to clean up the environment of the beaches and trails of Half Moon Bay on the Coastside Clean Team. We are doing good, meaningful work together; we are making a difference in our community; we are transforming our very selves.
