Sponsorships

SANDAG is seeking bike shops interested in serving as annual in-kind sponsors to provide bike maintenance quick checks (BMQCs), as part of SANDAG's Sustainable Transportation Services program.

BMQCs are scheduled by SANDAG as either stand-alone events for businesses and schools or in conjunction with public SANDAG bike classes, group bike rides, and other outreach events.

Please note that there are limited sponsorships available per subregion. Sponsorship agreements are executed on a first-come, first-served basis, and applications will remain open until all spots are filled. If a service area is already covered by a bike shop, other applicants in that area may be given the opportunity to provide services to a different area within San Diego County.

  • Brake and gear adjustments
  • Chain checks and lubrication
  • Tire checks and inflation
  • Nuts and bolts checks
  • Seat height adjustments
• Attend a mandatory orientation with the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition prior to the start of the BMQC services
• Travel a minimum of 10 miles from bike shop location to event locations
• Comply with SANDAG Board Policy No. 005
