"'In an ideal world, we would have bike lanes with a physical barrier everywhere. That’s what’s needed. The reason more people don’t bike is primarily the fear of cars, and you can’t blame them.'”

Moto America bikes on the grid at Laguna Seca 2021

#motorcycle #lagunaseca #motoamerica #monterey #neatobuilds

While biking on Pearl Street tonight, we noticed another active transportation user—this skateboarder, who we could very easily spot for blocks ahead of us. We eventually caught up with him and enjoyed chatting. He said his boss in Reno had gifted him that high-visibility jacket.

#ActiveTransportation #transportation #skateboard #skateboarding #Monterey #night #HighVisibility #HiVis

We biked to #Seaside last eve, passing through North Monterey. En route, we used alternate route (not Monterey’s North Fremont Street center bike lanes). On return trip, we used that center bikeway, to see if the most recent collision’s debris, which we reported 9/9 and again 9/19, had been cleaned up yet. Verdict: mostly (use caution to avoid tire puncture).

We salute the work of @LukeBornheimer and others for Better Valencia, #SanFrancisco
ICYMI, #Monterey’s center bike lane was first such design in California. SF followed suit—and regretted it. “SFMTA is planning to replace the Valencia Street center bikeway with curbside bike lanes as soon as January.” https://sfba.social/@LukeBornheimer/113115688061923975 Follow Luke for details and more sustainable transportation efforts.
