Sacramento’s Bike Safety Crisis | California News

Ten cyclists have died on Sacramento roads this year alone, sparking urgent calls for safer infrastructure. Advocates present chilling data showing hundreds of fatalities over five years, highlighting dangerous intersections and school zones where kids bike daily. With the city’s flat terrain ideal for cycling, safety remains a major concern — especially as cars invade bike lanes during peak commute hours. While 14 new miles of bike lanes were added last year, including Watt Avenue, advocates say it’s not enough. They’re pushing for protected lanes, physical barriers, and better access to trails — all while the county weighs e-bike regulations as traffic and ridership grow.
