Frequently Asked Questions

What other communities have this program?
In southern California, the cities of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Santa Monica currently have bicycle-friendly business district programs. The cities of Baldwin Park, El Monte, and South El Monte are slated to launch programs in 2019.

Can I develop my own incentives? What incentives will be developed or made available for my use?
Businesses that wish to utilize benefits above and beyond those listed in the program here may suggest alternatives by contacting us. Suggestions will be vetted by ActiveSGV staff on a monthly basis.

Can bicycle parking be installed in front of my business?
Participating retailers and workplaces may request a rack be placed in front of or adjacent to their business, subject to program availability. Please note that ADA compliance and other space limitations may preclude the City’s availability to be of assistance.

Am I liable for any bike safety issues or theft my customers may experience?
No, businesses are not liable for theft which occurs on publicly-owned or operated bicycle parking facilities (e.g., newly installed bicycle racks).

Can I test ride a cargo and/or electric bike as part of this program?
Active San Gabriel Valley (BikeSGV) will be providing electric and cargo bike demo days as part of the program. Individual retailers interested in test riding these bikes may also set up an individual appointment to do so by contacting Jose Jimenez of ActiveSGV.
