2026 Bike Champions
Every year, San Francisco alongside the eight other Bay Area counties, honors our own Bike Champion of the Year—individuals who go above and beyond to promote bicycling as a primary mode of transportation and inspire others in our communities.
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition also honors a Small Business Bike Champion. These are local businesses that go the extra mile to support people riding and rolling in San Francisco, whether through offering superb bike parking or supporting bike infrastructure.
Do you know an exceptional bicycle rider, policymaker, educator, advocate, or small business making a difference in San Francisco? Nominate them today!
Our 2025 Bike Champion was Tony Guan! We also recognized Green Apple Books, volunteer Maureen Persico, and Supervisor Myrna Melgar. You can read all about how each of them is a champion for bikes here.
