  3. Friday is farmers market day at Del Monte Center, Monterey. Don’t know who rode this bike to DMC today, just appreciate that they did. Related tips in “Bike to Farmers Markets” bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour and in “Shopping by Bike”: bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour

    DMC is in city of Monterey. The city’s bike-aware leaders, e.g., Mayor Tyller Williamson and Council Member Gino Garcia (whose day job is working for Ecology Action of Santa Cruz / Lets Modo) may be unaware that we formerly had in that Shopping section of the Tips guide a detailed map listing all Del Monte Center bike rack locations. Their ED at that time himself biked to work! Why is that detailed map no longer in our guide? Because DMC 🔥REMOVED those bike racks! 😭#NotProgress #GoingBackward #CarbonEmissions #TrafficCongestion #Monterey #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #transportation

  4. Bike Buzz: Summer 2024 News from Bicycling Monterey
    bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-sum

    As we mention in our Summer 2024 newsletter, bike advocates on Mastodon include #BikeNite organizer Phil / @ascentale, who happens to be a staff member of our fellow #CalBike partner, Bike East Bay; and Spokane active transportation professional @BarbChamberlain.

    They are among an increasing number of other bike advocates on Mastodon / in the fediverse. Feel free to reply to this post so we can find more of you, e.g., #CaliforniaBikeAdvocates, #USABikeAdvocates, #NorthAmericaBikeAdvocates.

  7. Not seeing any activity on Mastodon (this instance anyway) about #CaliRoots #CaliforniaRootsFestival happening May 24-26 in #Monterey. But we’re here to encourage Cali Roots goers to bike, skate, scoot, or walk there. Free bike/skate valet service (aka #ActiveTransport valet service) is again available. bikemonterey.org/bike-valet-at

    We also appreciate Cali Roots other sustainability efforts—and #MontereyCountyNow (formerly #MontereyCountyWeekly ) providing an update on those efforts. montereycountynow.com/news/cov We especially appreciate that as we recall the plastic and other trash that littered the grounds when we last attended, in 2012. (Hiss boo to folks who don’t pack it out—or at least take it to an on-site bin.)

  8. We update “Bike Buzz: Spring 2024 News from Bicycling Monterey,” with, e.g., additional Monterey County events for spring (through June 19). Today that included a note about a June 6 meeting related to the City of Monterey section of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail network aka Monterey Bay Coastal Trail. bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-spr.

  9. Thank you to Pebble Beach Company for their contribution today, helping to support the #BicyclingMonterey site and projects.

  10. Scenes from 2024 Sea Otter Classic now include 4 video clips and 35 photos, plus more snippets of news: bikemonterey.org/scenes-from-s

    Thanks to two photographers who contributed 6 of those pics, Sierra Rad and James Short; and one, Sieg Magenheim, who shot 9 for #Bicycling Monterey. We appreciate!

    This lil sweetie pie didn't seem happy to be leaving Sea Otter on April 21, the final day of #Monterey County's 4-day Celebration of #Cycling.

  11. If you get a ticket while #bicycling, #California law allows—for certain infractions—attending class to reduce the fine. Our neighboring #SantaCruz County has #bike #TrafficSchools, with a $35 fee charged to court-ordered participants.

    #Monterey County has an option too, with no fee charged to date. See "Bike Equity Project: Alternative to Fine for Traffic Citations." bikemonterey.org/bike-equity-p
    If you value the work of this or other Bicycling Monterey projects—all provided as a public service for 15 years—please make a contribution: bikemonterey.org/about/financi. Muchas gracias.

  14. @carolski A4 #BikeNite Many public parks with EXCELLENT access by biking and walking here, including along the #MontereyBay Sanctuary Scenic Trail's #MontereyCounty car-free section, e.g., Fort Ord Dunes State Park, Monterey State Beach Park, Window on the Bay Park, Monterey State Historic Park, San Carlos Beach Park, Lovers Point Park, and more. Scroll the following post for photos showing scenes along that trail: bikemonterey.org/intergenerati

    Also many within very close bike/walk distance from the car-free coastal trail, e.g., for El Estero Park / Dennis the Menace Playground, only necessary to cross one street, Del Monte Ave, to get there.

    For photos of Window on the Bay Park, scroll down our post about #Climate Reality Project, which features a gallery of that park: bikemonterey.org/act-on-climat

  15. Among many #Bicycling #Monterey projects that most people are unaware of is 1st example under Project #4, BICYCLING #EQUITY (scroll down our Summary of Projects page: bikemonterey.org/about/financi).

    Last week another #teen phoned us to make use of that project; today another teen called in same situation. We're glad to help. We salute these teens for not wasting their (or their family's) money on a #TrafficFine. Instead these #youth are "making lemonade out of lemons."

    When #LawEnforcement officers deem a #citation appropriate, we appreciate #judges who offer an alternative to a #fine—such as the one we provide (see Project #4).

    In case you're wondering: We appreciate #police officers who are into education instead of citation whenever appropriate. And we've done reach out bikemonterey.org/constables-of to #PoliceDepartments over the past 14 years to help more #MontereyCounty, and other, #cops be better prepared to help educate people who #bike.

  16. Thank you to Kathleen Jones / @Kleen for her June 1 contribution to the #Bicycling #Monterey work!

    A Northern Californian who likes to bike, including when visiting Monterey, Kathleen truly helps keep this grassroots volunteer effort going. How's that? Kathleen is a #BicyclingMonterey Pedal Pusher—an automatic monthly contributor. bikemonterey.org/about/financi

    We'd love to bring Kathleen a bouquet of these #SweetPeas blooming in our backyard now. Alas, too many miles between us. We trust our #gratitude is felt across the miles.

    To join her as a monthly contributor, or as a one-time contributor, in any amount, see: bikemonterey.org/about/financi

  17. In honor of #WorldPoetryDay, here's a photo of my bicycle at Stevenson House in downtown #Monterey, taken on a sunny day in February 2010.

    Today one of my brothers was lamenting #DaylightSavingsTime, and I automatically responded by reciting to him a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson, "Bed in Summer." (An excerpt: "In winter when the moon is bright, I dress by yellow candlelight. In summer, quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day.")

    Grateful to our mom for reading "A Child's Garden of Verses" and other poetry to us. I treasure the old book she held when she first introduced us to Stevenson— "The Child's World: Volume 1, Stories of Childhood" (Chicago: The Child's World, Inc, 1954)—which included many other favorite poets too, e.g., Christina Georgina Rossetti and Rose Fyleman.
