Access4Bikes Votes is an Internal Revenue Code 527 non-profit organization (FPPC #1456547), which allows us to endorse and support candidates for elected office. Since many trail restrictions are created and maintained by elected officials, we believe this is a critical component of our efforts.
Latest news from Access4Bikes Votes
On December 17 at 6 p.m. in San Anselmo, we have an opportunity to support an important candidate in the upcoming 2026 Marin Municipal Water District Board election race. Ranjiv Khush is running for re-election in the Fairfax, San Anselmo, Kentfield, San Geronimo Valley area. As a Board member, Ranjiv’s been a super supporter of our cause to get new trails since joining the MMWD Board in 2022. He has voted numerous times in support of mountain bikes on single-track trails on the watershed, including the most recent Board vote to kick off an update to the District’s Road and Trail Management Plan to add mountain biking on trails within the watershed.
This is our chance to help him kick off his campaign with financial support from Mountain Bikers.
You are invited because we think you care about the future of mountain biking on Mt. Tam watershed trails, and that you wish to support getting pro-mountain bike candidates elected. At this event, you’ll have an opportunity to interact directly with Ranjiv and hear his thoughts on mountain biking on watershed lands. We want to stress that this event is just for mountain bikers, and we don't get this chance very often to have a group of us interact with a candidate in a safe space. If you know of someone who you think would give to this candidate, please pass this information to them as well.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Bill Keene at williamjkeene@gmail.com or 707-483-2863.
We look forward to seeing a big turnout of mountain bikers at this event. If you can't attend the event or make the suggested donation, please consider giving whatever you can. We don't often get the chance to get new trails on public lands open to mountain bikers, and we believe Ranjiv will help us get there! A link to his campaign webpage is included as well below.

Access4Bikes Votes, a Political 527 Organization, is pleased to make our first city/town council endorsement. We proudly endorse Chance Cutrano for Fairfax Town Council. Chance has been an exceptional advocate for bike commuting and for general bike access all across Marin. As a member of the Transportation Authority of Marin and the Ross Valley Safe Routes to School Task Force, Cutrano has consistently demonstrated strong advocacy for cycling in Marin County. As a leader with the Sierra Club, Chance has bridged divides and enhanced dialogue between various user groups, leading to the Club's support for bike access on Sorich Park trail and Marin Water's Watershed Recreation pilot program. Cutrano has pledged to support our work at Tamarancho and include us in discussions about the Wall Property's recreational use. His balanced approach, understanding both environmental conservation and recreational needs, makes him an ideal candidate for the Town Council. We believe Chance Cutrano will champion sustainable transportation and recreation while addressing broader community needs, and we urge our members and supporters to vote for him in the upcoming election.
