“We live in the community, we have young kids, and we’re fortunate enough to be able to have food on our table. We want to find a way to give back… the Supermarket Street Sweep is a way of doing that.” — Miles Cooper
It takes a village. The SMSW volunteer crew.
Presented by our Bicycle Law brand, the Supermarket Street Sweep (aka “SMSW” or “The Sweep”) is an annual bike race that benefits the SF-Marin Food Bank (SFMFB). Since 2005, hundreds of participants have zipped around the city to local supermarkets and brought back thousands of pounds of food to donate to this wonderful charity. To date, Sweepers have helped provide over 400,000 meals to neighbors in need.
The 2023 edition of the Supermarket Street Sweep brought in the equivalent of 12,500 meals through donations of food and cash. Our racers, fundraisers, and volunteers made such a big splash that KPIX wanted to talk about it. Kudos to all involved.

We’re also ever-thankful for our partnership with SF-Marin Food Bank Director of Community Engagement, Katy Mann McKnight: for welcoming this event with open arms, helping it run smoothly, and shining a light on our good deeds.
Let’s go even bigger in 2024.
