California's bicycle clubs organized into a state federation in 1972 to protect bicyclists' interests statewide and to encourage, maintain, and improve bicycling conditions.





CABO fosters and promotes a favorable climate for bicycling in California by:



- Serving as a forum and information clearing house for bicycle clubs and other bicycle groups,



- Representing the interests of cyclists before the appropriate governmental bodies to protect their rights and promoting laws, policies, and actions that treat cyclists equitably, and



- Any other activities not specified in (1) or (2), but which reasonably relate to the purpose.
