The Marin County Bicycle Coalition (MCBC) has been steadily improving our county’s road and path facilities for walkers and bikers since we formed in 1998. You’ve seen the impact of our advocacy efforts in each of our towns: permanent bike racks, bike lane striping, green-and-white bike route signs, road resurfacing, ‘sharrow’ road stencils, and so much more.

Same old faces, same old places. The Bent Spoke is now The Spoke Cyclery

New owners, Timm and Adam, are deeply involved in many areas of the cycling community. They live, ride and work in Oakland and bring a combined total of over 25 years in the bicycle industry – a good many of those years right here at the old Bent Spoke!

They aim to be your favorite local bike shop and meet as many of your needs as possible whether your cycling discipline is mountain, road, touring, commuting, or fitness. Visit them in the Swap Hall for wide selection of blemished, closeout, or scratch-and-dent specials that we source from all over the cycling industry. Follow them on Facebook!

Trips for Kids is a non-profit that provides mountain bike outings, job-training, and environmental education for youth who would not otherwise be exposed to these types of activities. Our goal is to combine lessons in personal responsibility, achievement, and environmental awareness through the development of practical skills and the simple act of having fun. The Trips for Kids Re-Cyclery program focuses on recycling used bikes and parts, and provides job-training programs for youth. The bikes that the program repairs provide safe, environmentally friendly, and affordable transportation for both children and adults. We currently have 76 Trips for Kids Chapters (in the US, Canda & Israel).

Legendary freeride mountain biker Jeff Lenosky can now add ‘shoe collaborator’ to his résumé. It’s hard to find a part of the Links that Jeff didn’t directly influence. He showed us his pedal; Teva designed a sole that integrates with it. He showed them the busted toe on his last shoe; they added a flexible armor across the forefoot. He showed us his wet, muddy shoes; they found ion-mask™ technology that actually prevents the materials on the Links from absorbing water on a molecular level (true story). Teva built this shoe for Jeff, but anyone who has ever gotten on a mountain bike will appreciate his influence. See them at the Expo and follow them on Facebook & Twitter!

Skip To Renew makes a Re:Cyclist Bike Chain Lube, a biodegradable, non-toxic lube that performs as well as what you usually use, but it’s made from plant & algae oils, and made here in the SF Bay Area.

Founded in 2011 by Stig Westling, a biochemist working at a biodiesel refinery, he noticed the bitter irony of using petroleum-based lubes during manufacturing…so he got to work. In no time at all, he’d attracted 2 more co-founders and a bunch of cyclists who wanted to use it on their bikes! A 13 months later, they are’re getting urban riders nationwide asking, “Are you a Re:Cylist?” Follow them on Facebook!
