The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition transforms our streets and neighborhoods into safe, just, and livable places by promoting the bicycle for everyday transportation. We’re seeking a passionate, highly motivated individual to power this crucial work by supporting the organization’s bicycle education program. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition’s Bicycle Education Coordinator leads and shapes our Bicycle Education program, reflecting our core values of Transportation Justice, Sustainability, People Power and Joy.

The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition partners with government agencies and private companies to provide free, multilingual bicycle education for San Franciscans of all experience levels. Our bicycle education programming lives out our core values by breaking down barriers that folks may face to bicycling. We offer around 50 adult classes annually, and teach nearly 1,000 adults each year; learn more about the classes we offer here.

The Bicycle Education Coordinator oversees fulfillment of education contracts with the SF Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and micro-mobility companies, and seeks additional opportunities to present high-quality, culturally competent, multilingual bike education throughout the city. This position reports to the Director of Community Programs and collaborates with a dynamic Community Programs Team focused on our Bike It Forward program, and valet bicycle parking, and will coordinate a part-time staff of 15+ Bicycle Education Instructors.

Commitment to Equity and Justice

The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition acknowledges the harm that biking culture and unequal access to transportation have inflicted upon underserved communities — especially people of color, people with disabilities, people from working-class backgrounds, women, and people with LGBTQ+ identities. We believe that these communities must be centered as leaders in the work we do; therefore, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities.
