https://www.kazu.org/kazu-news/2026-08-11/e-bike-popularity-pushes-officials-to-figure-out-how-to-keep-everyone-safe “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 https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/for-serious-cyclers, 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).

"'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.'”

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.

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: https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations.
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. https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-17th-anniversary-edition.html

Our sympathy to the family and friends of Linda Theresse Munoz of Salinas.
Linda suffered fatal injuries after being struck on her bicycle by a truck, and then by two additional vehicles, while biking in Salinas on March 14.
We have no details on this collision so can’t comment about the circumstances except to say: #KSBW’s report https://www.ksbw.com/article/bicyclist-struck-killed-salinas-california/70760894 mentions she was biking “in dark clothing.” High visibility apparel is not required by law, and while we do suggest it (https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/more-bicycle-safety-gear), being visible can’t protect you from drivers who are texting, speeding, under the influence, etc.—as we experienced and pointed out last week https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/116219787478611800.
We don’t know if Linda’s bicycle had the equipment required by California law for biking in the dark (see #9 in our Calif bike law summary https://bikemonterey.org/wp-content/uploads/Bike-law-summary-2025.pdf).

As far back as 1975 corporate insiders were aware of potential risks. They called #paraquat’s long-term effects "a quite terrible problem” (Nov 11, 1975 ltr to #Chevron Environmental Health, Standard Oil of California).
Over 70 countries banned paraquat; it remains legal in US. #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency banned use on #golf courses but allows on crops.
Most US paraquat comes from China & UK—both banned paraquat’s use in their countries.
—From #TheNewLede, Environmental Working Group vid
https://thenewlede.substack.com/p/watch-parkinsons-and-pesticides-insideHard to know full scope of paraquat use across US; California is only state where info on location & amt of use is readily available.— https://www.ewg.org/research/wonderful-company-among-californias-top-users-toxic-weedkiller-paraquat
In 2023 it was 46th most used pesticide in CA, 369,978 pounds applied.— https://www.cdpr.ca.gov/2024/12/30/department-of-pesticide-regulation-releases-preliminary-findings-from-review-of-environmental-and-human-health-studies-related-to-the-use-of-the-pesticide-paraquat/#CentralCoast workers&residents exposed to >300K kilograms 1992-2017. #MontereyCounty ranked as county in region with highest amt use— https://www.walkuplawoffice.com/central-coast-paraquat-lawsuit/

At yesterday’s Vision Zero meeting for Monterey County, the challenges of Salinas Road were among topics discussed. In fact, on Wednesday, a Watsonville resident traveling by bike was going north on the shoulder of Salinas Road when he attempted to make a left turn and was hit by a GMC Yukon. The Yukon’s driver fled the scene. Good Samaritans assisted the injured bike commuter. Thank you to law enforcement; the driver has been arrested and faces felony #HitAndRun charges.

In August we gave a short in-person presentation on “ABC Quick Check.” In the process we showed attendees our portable pump and the pump we use at home, a Park floor pump. When we commented that you don’t always have to have an ample budget to get quality tools—that we’d bought our Park pump used at a Goodwill store—some asked which Goodwill. It was this one, on West Broadway in the Monterey County city of Seaside. While biking last Sunday, when we paused out front of that store, there was another person who bikes apparently scouting their inventory. :)
BTW, Seaside’s West Broadway is tops in the county for number of conveniently located bike racks and also public benches. (See “Rest Stops” for why that matters. https://bikemonterey.org/rest-stops-people-who-bike-walk-or-otherwise-get-about-sometimes-just-need-to-sit-a-spell.html)
