Pedal Ahead was initiated in September 2020 by Rider Safety Visibility (RSV), a 501c3, in partnership with County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher to serve as an alternative to automobile transportation through socially conscious transportation. The program growing to increase e-bike ridership throughout all of San Diego county with a sustained focus to serve residents living in underserved communities.  Riders will use a GPS technology app to track trip distances, and transportation and recreation patterns, which is tracked by RSV and updated regularly. Through the adoption of electric bicycles, Pedal Ahead’s goal is to provide quality of life improvement for participants using the e-bikes for commuting and recreational activities. Through phased integration Pedal Ahead will create a network of individually operated e-bikes that are initially loaned and eventually owned by participants at the program’s two-year conclusion. The benefits are mental, physical and environmental health.
