About the Event

Are you ready to turn your daily ride into a catalyst for change? Circulate San Diego is partnering with the San Diego River Park Foundation’s One-Mile Action Crew for a high-impact Community Mobility Assessment.

By documenting the lived experiences of cyclists on this route, we provide the essential data needed to advocate for a safer, more connected San Diego. Your participation helps us transform the San Diego River corridor by turning real-world observations into actionable improvements.

The Route & Mission

We will embark on a ride along the San Diego River Trail, starting at Old Town and turning around at Grant Park. This route was specifically chosen to evaluate areas and critical infrastructure gaps, as well as enjoy the San Diego River Trail, and learn a route for future rides. Please note: Parts of our assessment will take us onto surface streets with unmarked bike paths. To ensure everyone’s comfort and safety, we will be riding together as a unified group through these sections to document the current road conditions.

  • Option 5 mile ride, with Trolley Ride from Rio Vista back to Old Town. 

  • Option 10 mile ride, on bike the entire way back to Old Town. 

What to Bring

  • Your bicycle and a helmet (required).

  • Water bottle.

  • A smartphone or camera for observation points (optional).


*Detailed Email will be sent a couple days before the event.
