About the Map
The Best Available Network
The goal of the Low-Stress Petaluma Bike Map is to identify the "Best Available Network," the network of existing trails, protected bike lanes, quiet streets, sidewalks, and alleys, that make it possible for people of all ages and abilities to ride to any destination today – even if a complete formal bike network doesn't exist.

Help Us Improve the Petaluma Bike Map
This map is a crowdsourcing project to tap into local knowledge of how to comfortably get around Petaluma on a bike. Download the mobile app to share your favorite routes and help us make a better map.
Walk Your Bike
Occasionally, there are sidewalks where we encourage you to get off your bike, be a pedestrian, and push your bike. Walking is great and it helps us make challenging network connections.
