As a long-time Board member at CalBike, I've seen firsthand the great work this organization can do when it has the resources and backing of people who ride bikes in California. Whether it's working to pass legislation like the 3-foot for safety law that requires motorists to pass a bike rider at a safe distance, increasing funding  for local jurisdictions to construct better bike infrastructure, or working with Caltrans to make it a more bike-friendly organization, I know CalBike is working hard in Sacramento and across the state for everyone who rides a bike. The California Dream Ride is a great way for me to use my passion for bicycle touring to raise money to support this great work.
