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

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.

"On Hall Road the heavy traffic passes over the train tacks at Hudson Landing but the County of Monterey has no bike lane and has reduced the shoulder width to merely 2 feet over-hanging the 40 foot drop to the railroad tracks below. (I'd love to see a Monterey County Supervisor ride it on a bike for first hand knowledge.)”—Peter Stanger, commenting https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/a-string-of-vehicle-collisions-in-salinas-ends-with-a-tragic-fatality-of-a-cyclist/article_074be0fe-e7dc-4924-920d-7a247d655514.html#comments on Sara Rubin’s post "A string of vehicle collisions in Salinas ends with a tragic fatality of a cyclist.” https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/a-string-of-vehicle-collisions-in-salinas-ends-with-a-tragic-fatality-of-a-cyclist/article_074be0fe-e7dc-4924-920d-7a247d655514.html

"Monterey County Agriculture is a $4.3 billion-dollar economic sector that depends on 55,000 farmworkers to harvest our crops each year, primarily immigrants; some have resided in our communities for decades.
Our nation’s fresh food supply and local economy are fully dependent on this workforce, and we consider this a #NationalSecurity priority in a time of agricultural labor shortages.” —#MontereyCounty Farm Bureau https://montereycfb.com/immigration-resources/

The bicycle education program at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center was founded by Bicycling Monterey in April 2012 and still rolls on in April 2025!

The bike tech class series—providing bicycle repair and maintenance instruction—is only possible because of two volunteers who stepped up in 2012 and still continue volunteering on this 13th anniversary: Frank Henderson and Luciano Rodriguez.

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)
