 WalkBikeMarin is an initiative by the County of Marin to help make Marin more healthy, livable, and environmentally sustainable by encouraging walking and bicycling as everyday transportation. This initiative was catalyzed by a recent $25 million federal grant to fund the Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program (NTPP). The goal of the WalkBikeMarin website is to provide information about all the County’s bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs in one place. For more information on the NTPP see the About the Project page.

How often do you ride your bicycle? I commute by bike about 5 times per month, about 10 miles per trip.

Favorite places to ride your bike?
One of my family favorites is the Class I shoreline trail from Blackies Pasture along McKegney Green in Town of Tiburon. Another favorite is the Corte Madera creek trail past the old Paul Daly Swim & Tennis Club and into Town of Ross. The best ride I’ve ever done is the West Marin Cheese Factory loop.

Why do you love to ride?
Marin County has a tremendous amount of biking and hiking trails that can encourage healthy living. I try to understand and encourage development of this network of resources.
