  1. Do youth want bicycling education at school?

  2. Joel Mendoza, North Monterey County Fire Chief, shared his favorite “game” growing up: Follow the Leader on BMX bicycles! And he adds, "Honestly, I still feel a bit bad that as a society we moved so quickly from all that physical activity to the digital world.” Details: montereycountynow.com/news/cov

  3. "Although even the commissioners shared some hesitation, they did vote to recommend [Carlsbad] city council still impose the minimum age requirement as a first step.

    "They are also recommending council adopt a rule to prohibit passengers for anyone under 16 and look into lobbying the state to create even more protections surrounding e-bikes.”

  4. "No new E-Bike laws for now, Santa Cruz says education is the answer” by Briana Mathaw for #KION

    "'Riding e-bikes, younger than they would get a license? They're really missing that opportunity to know how to behave on our roadways with other roadway users. And so [our focus is] enhancing the amount of education that we put out,' Claire Gallogly said.” (Gallogly, while not identified as such in KION story, is a City of Santa Cruz transportation planner, since 2015.)

  9. As the San Diego County, California’s City of Carlsbad "Snapshot of fines associated with violations” in carlsbadca.gov/departments/str notes, “The actual fine does not include approximately $300 dollars in additional court fees.”

    Similarly true here in Monterey County. For example, while state law allows a $25 fine for Helmet Required [for minors], 21212(a) CVC, in actuality, if you’re under 18 and are cited for no helmet in Monterey County, you’re typically going to be out $193 due the court, not $25. That’s why Bicycling Monterey offers an alternative bikemonterey.org/bike-equity-p that is appreciated by local families: bikemonterey.org/youth-bike-an.

    Donations to help support that project — or to provide helmets for youth without one — are needed and appreciated. How to donate: bikemonterey.org/about/financi

  10. “Cycling apparel” for many of us means just regular clothing—#NoSpandexRequired. It makes sense that others, e.g., racers or long-distance riders, do prefer specific types of fabric and clothing design.

    Then there are teens. 💚 😎 Many value clothing as a form of self-expression! For some, they’d like apparel that indicates “I bike,” but their budget may not allow such purchases. That’s why we appreciated that on April 13, our #MontereyBay neighbors, Ibis Cycles of Santa Cruz ibiscycles.com/, provided apparel for some youth participating in our cycling education activities. Ibis contributed three Ibis/Giro jerseys, four pair of Ibis/Giro shorts, one Ibis/Giro t-shirt, and two Ibis sweatshirts. Thank you, neighbors!

  11. Among the most satisfying of the numerous Bicycling Monterey projects bikemonterey.org/about/financi is providing an alternative to fines for people who receive citations while biking bikemonterey.org/bike-equity-p.

    As we pointed out at the last #CalBike Policy Advisory Council meeting, although California legislation allows for a $25 fine for helmet citation (for minors), court costs mean that $25 becomes $193 in our county courts.

    Tonight’s letter writing (below) provides one example of saving a local family money—in this case, $386, as the minor had received two citations. We do our best to tailor each minor’s community service to their individual learning style and family circumstances.

  16. Our 17-yr-old ride companion tonight was in full agreement: We are fortunate to have this excellent car-free coastal trail—AND we need such infrastructure in neighborhoods all over our county!

  17. Our spirits were lifted today to receive a contribution from someone unknown to us. We don’t know how John McCarthy found the Bicycling Monterey site and projects, but we’re very grateful he responded with a generous contribution to help support our Education Projects. This was especially appreciated because of the increasing number of hours (including into wee hours last night) that we’ve been giving to educate court-referred youth, providing them an alternative to paying hefty fines (e.g., in Monterey County, typically $193 for helmet citation, including court costs).

    We looked John up online and smiled to see John’s team member and Chief Morale Officer, Lincoln: californiaemploymentlawfirm.co

    Support for this work, in any amount, is very much needed and appreciated. To contribute: bikemonterey.org/about/financi
