As a member of the Coronado bicycling community, we strive to promote safe and respectful bicycle riding practices. We believe responsible bicycling begins with the rider, not the bike. All bicycles can go too fast, whether it’s an electric bike, touring bike or a beach cruiser. Our advice to riders exploring Coronado, go slow and soak in every bit of our island paradise.

We are committed to being a courteous neighbor by respecting the rules of the road and those we share it with.

Coronado has some of the most beautiful coastal bike paths and boardwalks found in the San Diego area.

But it also has a busy highway running right through the middle of it, so the line between paradise and Coronado rush hour is thin.

Here are some tips on how to navigate around its busiest streets, as well as helpful resources provided by the City of Coronado.
