#montereycounty — Public Fediverse posts

Heartfelt thanks to September donors, thus far - @Kleen, @Weather_Rock_Wx, Kathleen Ageton, and Sandra Laney - for their donations on Sept 2, 5, 7, and 12. Each one so appreciated - even more than usual because of all the time and energy it has taken us to make essential tech upgrades to the Bicycling Monterey website this month, which was coupled with the first site redesign in 17 years!

"California Department of Transportation, known as #Caltrans, said that the state had spent more than $370 million on fixing the #highway after #ExtremeWeather events in the past seven years….Building the road on unstable terrain took ingenuity. Fixing it in a world being rocked by #ClimateChange may take even more….There are more than 1,500 active slide areas in Big Sur.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/us/pacific-coast-highway-closed-climate-change.html

Thurs, May 8 at 6 pm in the Gawain Family Outdoor Theater at York School: Ben Jealous, Monterey County native and currently executive director of Sierra Club. Event is free and open to the public. - Report by Agata Popęda, #MontereyCountyNow https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/prominent-civil-rights-activist-ben-jealous-returns-to-his-alma-mater-for-a-discussion-on/article_3a3800e0-84d8-4bd9-b07d-f5202f41c79e.html

Our #transportation advisory: York School is off Highway 68, which we personally bike on frequently but as brief a distance as possible (high-speed traffic, no bike lane). Carpooling encouraged. (TMK, and it’s a Catch 22: Due to heavy traffic on CA SR 68, making it nearly impossible to keep to a schedule, it’s just not feasible for Monterey Salinas Transit to provide bus service.)

Speaking of Hwy 68: We’re about to make yet another report to #Caltrans about more broken car parts not cleared from the shoulder. (Sigh. Not unusual, e.g., https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/113709985426108972.) Where to report: https://csr.dot.ca.gov/

Among updates last night to Winter Bike Buzz are photos of people we met on the coastal trail February 16: Wyatt, Adalina, Chris, and more. https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-winter-2025.html

Pictured here is Wyatt, an employee of California State Parks, Monterey. Wyatt rides a Class 2 e-bike and is a great role model for sharing the trail courteously and safely with other people who bike, walk, skate, and scoot.

We celebrate the 9/25/24 signing of California #AB3233, as well as #AB1866 and #AB2716, by CA Governor Newsom. “It was #Chevron that sued #Monterey County and a voter initiative,” as the Governor stated at 22:07 in the signing ceremony. https://www.youtube.com/live/J2sAAls_Ljc?si=WXoQdl78uIUfBxZK&t=1326

Full ceremony, including intro by #Physicians for #SocialResponsibility: https://www.youtube.com/live/J2sAAls_Ljc?si=4NN3W2Yftrsj79E_ Thanks to the Governor, and to the Center for #Biological #Diversity, Protect Monterey County, and others in the broad coalition, e.g., https://bikemonterey.org/californias-local-environmental-choice-and-safety-act-ab-3233.html, who stood up to the #oil and #gas industry to accomplish this win for people and planet.

Muchas gracias to instructors Frank Henderson and Luciano Rodriguez for completing another successful year of bike maintenance and repair instruction at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center. The Youth Center's bike education programs were launched by Bicycling Monterey in 2012.

Classes will resume in January 2024. https://bikemonterey.org/probation-dept-youth-center-bike-education.html

We dig the bicycle-powered stage at #NewportFolk Festival. Our daughter is there again this year, and wherever she goes, she has an eye out for bicycles, to share bike buzz with us. She sent us this video clip from Newport today: #IlliterateLight

Here's a story about the NFF bike stage written by Ryan Belmore: "Illiterate Light bringing their bicycle-powered stage back to Newport Folk Festival" - https://whatsupnewp.com/2023/07/illiterate-light-bringing-their-bicycle-powered-stage-back-to-newport-folk-festival/

We're waiting for #MontereyJazzFestival, #CaliRoots, or other live music events in #MontereyCounty to make use of bicycle power too!
