“The Fresno Police Department issued 88 citations to drivers and 32 citations to pedestrians and cyclists during a city-wide bicycle and pedestrian safety operation on Saturday.

The enforcement effort, which ran from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., focused on traffic violations including unsafe turning motions and unsafe speeds.

Officers contacted 90 drivers throughout the operation.



Fresno police plan to conduct another safety operation on May 16 in support of National Bicycle Safety Month.”

Over 60 Fresno bicyclists rode over 3 miles in the rain in order to show love and support for two new bars that opened in downtown, including Moses McQueen. Love to see the biking community in Fresno alive and well and showing businesses in downtown the support they need to thrive and feel welcomed!

Lots of people in r/fresno seem to think bicyclists in Fresno don’t deserve better biking infrastructure because “nobody rides in Fresno”. What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts

I don't live in Fresno but grew up there and still spend about a month of every year there. I still bike there from time to time. Here's what I would prioritize to make biking in Fresno better:

1. Completing existing trails and making crossings at major roads safer. There's a lot of trails with gaps, including gaps between trails. Good luck getting down Herndon all on bike trails; there's large gaps. Are they ever gonna connect the Dry Creek trail near Sunnyside and Shepherd? Are they ever gonna hookup the Midtown Trail to the Clovis trail near the airport? There's also a lot of unsafe crossings. No one should ever have to cross major roads like Herndon, Shaw, and Clovis, there should be under or over passes. Freeway on-ramps like the ones on the Midtown Trail near Manchester should also be bypassed.

2. Prioritizing a safe route N/S in central/west Fresno. Right now the safest route is Van Ness through Old Fig Garden. The issue is it stops at Shaw. If you commute from the Woodward Park area to DT, getting down Palm is pretty unsafe. One option is building a path next to the train tracks that head NW out of downtown.

3. Completing the Eaton Trail from 99 to Millerton Lake: This is mostly recreational, but if you look at how many people use the existing segment, it's obvious there's an appetite for more. The upcoming River West expansion (which took far too long) will be nice, but Fresno needs more. There should be a continuous trail from 99 to Millerton Lake, period.

Can anyone share on Google maps where I might be able to park my bike at the Fresno Zoo? Was thinking about biking there, but I can't seem to find if they have bike parking. Thank you!

I heard the number Fresno will receive is $250M for better biking and pedestrian infrastructure. With Project Active Transportation and Vision Zero being initiated this year, how is the future of bicycling in Fresno looking?

This wonderful community has grown to nearly 200 members in less than 5 days! Wow!

Bikability in Fresno is such an important topic to me, but so is breaking my phone addiction. At this rate I’m on reddit for multiple hours a day. I need some help running this community, spreading the word, and continuing to grow it in numbers.

If you’re a bicyclist or just someone passionate about a healthier Fresno, please reach out to me if you’re interested in being a moderator here at r/BikeFresno. I’d really appreciate some help, and also I don’t want to leave for a week or two and come back to a dead sub. I’d rather have a team of mods who can keep things flowing even in my absence.

Pay is a virtual hug and a better Fresno.
