At the 2026 West End Celebration in Sand City, a Santa Cruz pedal-powered #entrepreneur, Trike a Pose, was offering #photo shoots.

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).

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

"The first agency in the state to roll out contactless payment was Monterey County’s Monterey-Salinas Transit, launching in early 2021 as a Cal-ITP pilot….As part of the 2021 contactless pilot, Monterey-Salinas Transit and Cal-ITP studied equity for unbanked riders – riders without access to a bank account and dependent on cash payments. The pilot came with fare capping, meaning riders can pay as they go, without ever spending more in a week or month than a pass costs.” https://cal.streetsblog.org/2026/05/27/an-update-on-contactless-fare-payment-across-agencies-in-california

Vendors at the 2026 Sea Otter Classic in Monterey County include Bivo, “clean performance hydration” in a stainless steel bottle (details on their FAQs page). https://drinkbivo.com/ Their crew is mostly based in Vermont, and we met some of them April 16 in the SOC expo. https://bikemonterey.org/april-16-19-2026-sea-otter-classic-in-monterey-county.html

No sooner had County of Monterey Public Works Department cleaned up this road's rockslides (https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-winter-2025-2026-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html#WhereToRpt), than Mother Nature said, “Let’s do it again!”
Photos are from today’s ride between rains.

Kick rocks!
That’s what we started to do, attempting to use our feet to clear the west shoulder of Olmsted Rd near Hwy 68 / CA SR 68. Then we noticed the east shoulder and travel lanes were likewise strewn with many rocks! Don’t know what mishap left that mess, but we’re reporting to road cleanup crews : https://bikemonterey.org/where-to-report-a-bikeway-maintenance-need-in-monterey-county-plus-maintenance-needs-for-california-state-highways.html.

See updates to Bike Buzz for more on road maintenance, i.e., https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-winter-2025-2026-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html#WhereToRpt.
What to do when you come upon a rockslide (or other debris) that interferes with biking the shoulder of a road (and you normally bike the shoulder of that road, because motor vehicles travel at high speeds in the main travel lanes)?
In California, if it’s a state highway, report it to California Department of Transportation / #Caltrans: https://csr.dot.ca.gov/.
If not a state highway (not a maintenance responsibility of Caltrans), see where to report in Monterey County, : https://bikemonterey.org/where-to-report-a-bikeway-maintenance-need-in-monterey-county-plus-maintenance-needs-for-california-state-highways.html.

We don’t take for granted the labor of tree crews who clear roads and roadsides. On yesterday’s ride, we came upon a large tree downed along the edge of this Monterey County road. Workers’ labor today made significant progress; it is now transformed to small logs.

This will be our last post with #KION hashtag. Why?
"Employees said corporate leaders came to town Tuesday with little explanation as to why they were ending news operations, effective immediately.” —#KSBW https://www.ksbw.com/article/kion-ends-local-news-warning-employees-blindsided/68025287
"It's going to change the landscape of news coverage in this area," says former KION Managing Editor Jeanette Bent. "It's a disservice to this community and we're all heartbroken.”—#MontereyCountyNow

These #Swedes #biked from #Carmel to #Marina on Sunday, October 13 and were heading back to Carmel when we met them in #SandCity. Their cheerfulness reflects the increased #endorphins and overall #joy of #biking—not so much the #infrastructure they experienced in sections of Carmel, #PebbleBeach and elsewhere.

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” https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/food-for-all and in “Shopping by Bike”: https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/unique-attractions
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
