Resources

In this section you will find links to cycling-related information useful to locals and visitors alike. Currently, the only bicycle map for Napa County is very general.  Nonetheless, if you want to have a look, you can find it on the Napa County Transportation and Planning Agency website here. Napa Bike is working on a sponsorship package to get funding for a real bike map.  We hope to have an update on this project mid-summer.

Stay tuned . . .

One of the visions for the bicycle network in Napa County is that it encourages multi-modal car-free transportation.  That's techno-speak for being able to get to work or other destinations by bike, bus, ferry, and so on. Currently, buses will accommodate only 2 bikes on a rack on the front of the bus. So if that rack is full, you're out of luck until the next bus (maybe). Nonetheless, here's a link to the bus schedules on the Napa County Transit and Planning Agency website. We are working to expand the capacity for bikes on buses in the county, but in the meantime be aware of the constraint.

 The good news is that once you get to the Vallejo Ferry, there is ample room for your bike on the back deck.  Lot's of people use the ferry to get to San Francisco to add an exciting urban riding dimension to their Napa Valley visit. Here's a link to the ferry schedule.

If you experience a road condition you feel is just not right, there are people who want to know about it . . . the Public Works professionals who serve in each jurisdiction.  Here's the contact information for the folks at the County and for each of the towns.
