#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!

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.”

As of 8/28/25, at least 37% of Bicycling Monterey’s 2025 donors are on Mastodon—including @Kleen, @ai6yr, @mtheriaultsf, @Weather_Rock_Wx, @NoRomBasic, and @JohnMcCarthyEsq! Our gratitude to all: https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-summer-2025-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html#1st2025Donors!

The Summer 2025 edition of Bike Buzz, which includes items relevant throughout the USA, is brief. While there may be occasional updates, the best way to catch more news this summer is to follow @bikemonterey on Mastodon.

This is how bike community works!

Something that made our 💖 heart sing today: Receiving a photo of a Salinas Valley dad who’d had no bicycle, now riding our old Giant hybrid, which we were no longer using.

And likewise, other of his family members who’d had no bikes are now enjoying the used bicycles donated by a Carmel resident who contacted Bicycling Monterey because their family had bikes they were no longer using. (They found our post https://bikemonterey.org/where-to-donate-bicycles-in-monterey-county.html, and we were happy to connect them with an appropriate recipient.)
