Our mission is to advocate for people traveling by bike in, to and from West Seattle.
We are working to make it safe and comfortable to bike, walk and roll in West Seattle. We are building community, not just bike lanes and crosswalks. We are working to create equitable, connected, sustainable, healthy, efficient transportation options for everyone in West Seattle. This includes people using wheelchairs, strollers, scooters, buses, trains, trucks, and cars. This includes you.
We would like to acknowledge that we are on the unceded traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe.
WSBC is a volunteer community organization. Our participants come from all over the peninsula, with all kinds of backgrounds and skills. We welcome and embrace the diversity of experiences and knowledge of everyone in our city, particularly with regard to race, ethnicity, culture, socio-economic background, gender, sexual orientation, age, and physical ability. You are welcome to join us! There are no dues, fees, or applications. Just join in a discussion or project, and you are in!

West Seattle Bike Connections is part of
We formed in 2012, to give West Seattle a voice in development of the Seattle Bicycle Master Plan. After that, we have continued to advocate for transportation needs, building relationships with community groups, city agencies, elected representatives, business associations, and others. We meet once a month; have an active Google Group; and a Facebook and Twitter presence. We go on some fun social rides that are usually family-friendly – most notably our West Seattle mini-STP. Our members get involved with school bike rodeos, community festivals, Bike Everywhere month, and DIY work parties on trails. We support each other!

Our vision for West Seattle
- Our streets are safe for riding, walking, rolling and driving, with improved transit and freight mobility.
- Bike riding and walking are efficient and comfortable ways to travel to all the places we need to go.
- Bike routes serve the needs of people of all ages, incomes, languages, genders, colors, races, ethnicity, and abilities.
- Bike riding, walking, and transit work together to reduce the need to drive cars for most local trips. Our air and water are cleaner. West Seattle absorbs new residents without adding to traffic congestion.
