History
Bike Walk Escondido was first formed in July of 2013 with the help of WalkSanDiego. Over 30 people, hunger for better access to active transportation, attended our first meeting. Public support for creating complete streets has been strong and the group has formed connections with city staff, elected officials, public welfare community groups, and youth organizations. We have active members from COMPACT, Reveal Escondido Creek, The Escondido Creek Conservancy, Safe Routes to School, Circulate, and are a Bike Walk Alliance Member group.

Mission
Bike Walk Escondido works to ensure that bicycling and walking for transportation and recreation in the Escondido area is both enjoyable and safe.

Vision
