  7. Eight new #gas and #OilWells have been approved for San Ardo.

    “These enhanced# oil recovery methods come with all the risks of traditional production,” says Cooper Kass, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, a watchdog organization which has filed multiple lawsuits regarding California’s oil and gas industry. “They also bring a number of additional risks, including the potential for the high-pressure injection to damage the wellbore and/or crack the surrounding rock, which could lead to migration and #groundwater contamination.”—Report by Katie Rodriguez, #MontereyCountyNow

  9. #CarWeek #MontereyCounty Thanks to California Highway Patrol, who took a hit - quite likely preventing harm to someone else. "A Porsche was stopped after going 90 mph in a 55 mph zone. After the driver was pulled over, the Porsche backed into a CHP patrol vehicle, CHP alleges.” - Ricardo Tovar, #KSBW ksbw.com/article/porsche-four- #SpeedLimits #SafeStreets #LawEnforcement #TrafficSafety #DrunkDriver #DUI #alcohol

    kazu.org/kazu-news/2026-08-11/ “There's never a traffic jam on the recreation trail,” Koesel said. !?! We appreciate his intent, and beg to differ. Our photo posted here is from 2010 — scroll to end of bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour, and that section of trail gets far more congested now. That’s another reason we need far more such bikeways—i.e., Class 1 as well as Class 4 with a physical barrier (protection from cars).

  12. "'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.'”

  14. Excerpts from #SalinasValleyNow story by Erik Chalhoub, "Más jóvenes se están sumando al ciclismo de montaña, y las oportunidades para hacerlo están creciendo a nivel local.” / "More young people are hopping onto mountain bikes—and the opportunities to do so are growing locally.”

    “Riding bikes can increase focus, improve mood and improve both physical and mental health. It’s important to get kids to spend more time in nature.”

    Asst coach with #Salinas High School Cowboys Mountain Bike Team, points to tight-knit community of #MountainBiking community, especially on display during #FortOrd race.

    “It’s very supportive. Everybody cheers for everybody else.”

    For kids who don’t have a bike, no problem—they’ll be given one for the race.

    “It opens the door for kids who may not have a group, but they’ll find a group within the team.”

    “They spoke so positively and energetically about being out there with friends in nature and away from screens.”

  15. "The Imjin Parkway project helps vehicles—and pedestrians—get to where they need to go much smoother.

    "There’s so much detail in these panels, but don’t get distracted by them as you drive [or bike] through. Go for a walk in the area instead to appreciate them.”—Erik Chalhoub, #MontereyCountyWeekly #MontereyCountyNow

  16. After providing introductory bike-friendly drivers training today—to all youth at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center—we made our typical rounds in our county’s seat and largest city. Today that included Acosta Plaza and two local bike shops on our route.

    We also stopped to snap photos of some of our favorite infrastructure (short of bikeways with a physical barrier): Bike boxes at intersections, like this one on West Alisal Street at Lincoln Avenue, Salinas.

  17. #MontereyCounty / #CondadoDeMonterey #ActiveTransportation Plan includes a June 24, 2026 kickoff meeting in Salinas, 6-8pm. Food provided. Zoom option available.

    UPDATED DETAILS, including carpool info: bikemonterey.org/monterey-coun

    "Monterey County Active Transportation Plan (ATP) will serve as a roadmap for making #Monterey County safer, more accessible, and more connected for people of all ages and abilities who #walk, #bike, or use other forms of #ActiveTransportation. This update builds on the County’s previous ATP, adopted in 2018, incorporating new analysis and community priorities and needs.

  18. From our yard recently, “sending” these blooms from our heart to @Kleen and @Weather_Rock_Wx, in gratitude for their June 2 and June 5 donations! How to donate, plus FAQs: bikemonterey.org/about/financi.

    About those blooms: Learn what we frequently do with lavender, and why we bought special thread at Slow Fiber, Monterey—better still, see a Salinas bike commuter we met when she was en route there June 5, to help her friend / the owner in that shop. bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-17t

  19. “It is important that we keep our bicyclists safe, as they do not have the same protections as drivers and passengers,” said Gonzales Police Chief Keith Wise. “People of all ages use bicycles to commute to school, work, and other activities. Bicyclists, like all road users, have the right to #SafeStreets. We encourage drivers and bicyclists to look out for one another and practice safe habits so we may all go safely.” salinasvalleytribune.com/gonza

  20. 1/2 We biked in to First Presbyterian Church in Monterey today for the ordination ceremony for Cory Pina, Curator for Spiritual Life at All Saints Day School in Carmel Valley. Cory has volunteered many hours to boost Bicycling Monterey’s WordPress skills.

    A big highlight of today’s ride came from our swinging by #CaliRoots to see how packed the bike valet station was today (surprise—not full at all). But the joy of that stop was meeting Carlos (pictured), who was doing Cali Roots volunteering nearby. He does road and mountain biking and is a bike-to-work commuter, using the Monterey-Salinas Transit bike-and-ride option to get to work from his Soledad home. We had a great chat about e-bikes, e-motos, and more, and we hope to rope this cool guy in as a bike advocacy voice for Salinas Valley residents, e.g., on TAMC’s bike-ped committee. bikemonterey.org/monthly-meeti

  21. We cut these flowers from our yard on Saturday to take to a friend’s 80th birthday celebration. Wish we could likewise take some to @Kleen and @Weather_Rock_Wx, in gratitude for their May 2 and May 5 donations. These faithful donors—they pitch in every month!—are so appreciated.

  22. Often we’ve communicated with other #BikeAdvocates by phone, or online, long before meeting in person. That was the case with Paola Berthoin of Carmel Valley, and it was such a joy to meet her face to face on April 17 at the Fridays #FarmersMarket in Monterey (bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour).

    Paola, an #artist, has biked 20,267 miles, mostly local miles. For Paola, her bike is “a perfect alternative mode of #transportation!”

    BTW, we share her concern—and that of #CalBike—"Don’t Punish E-Bikes for the E-Moto Problem”; take action: calbike.org/ab1557ab1942/

    Those of you who followed @bikemonterey back when we were on the bird site, 2009-2022, may recall hearing Paola's name from us there, or on our website (e.g., bikemonterey.org/wp-content/up on bikemonterey.org/resources/bic).

    Born in #London, England, she came to Carmel Valley in 1965 with her mother and three sisters. Learn more about Paola Fiorelle Berthoin: paolafiorelleberthoin.com/about

  23. "Protesters in Salinas join nationwide shutdown against ICE”—Report by Chris Hamilton, #MontereyHerald

    “This is the salad bowl of the world. There’s a lot of farmworkers here,” said Victoria Gomez, a lifelong Salinas resident at the city hall protest. “These people that are here, planting and harvesting vegetables and fruits for us and for the rest of the country. I think they at least deserve some respect enough to speak up for them.”

  24. When Bike Month ends, our work continues, year-round!

    Please support this grassroots volunteer effort: bikemonterey.org/about/financi.

    Maybe you don’t visit or live in Monterey County. Maybe, like the most recent donor, Nathan Pierce of Oakland, you value that the impact of this work “is felt far and wide.” Thank you for pitching in, as @Kleen, @ai6yr, @mtheriaultsf, and others have done.

  25. May 2025 is the 16th Anniversary of Bicycling Monterey, Monterey County’s Local Partner of the California Bicycle Coalition / #CalBike.

    Our favorite #BikeAdvocacy task is direct outreach by bicycle! The 16th anniv gallery bikemonterey.org/16th-annivers is a sampling of people we met each of the past 16 years.

    Among them: #PeopleWhoBike for #transportation, recreation, who bike to #protest rallies, bike to #FarmersMarkets, bike to #surf, #BikeToSchool and #BikeAndRide for a #DadAndDaughter date, #BikeToWork (and yes, pedaling in a business #suit is no problem for him), #HandCycle bike to exercise the #dog, bike to #travel long distances / #BicycleTouring.

  26. We appreciated reading ONE BIKE, ONE WHEEL, ONE STORY: THE JOURNEY OF TANNUS AND "BICICLETAS SIN FRONTERAS”: tannustires.com/en/tannus-blog “A bicycle changes lives. And a bicycle that never breaks down, does it even more.”

    Thank you to Ryan of Tannus America for showing us the Tannus Armour tire liner at Monterey County’s Sea Otter Classic, and for his April 11 gift of a cycling cap in support of our direct outreach by bike.

  27. 🎂Happy birthday to Liz, biking 30 miles to celebrate their 30th birthday today! 3️⃣0️⃣🎉🎈Liz and their friend Lizzy had biked from Marina, California to another #Monterey Peninsula city, #Pacific Grove, when we met them while we were walking at Asilomar State Beach. We🎵sang Liz a favorite birthday song traditional in many #Waldorf schools.
