Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏

We are grateful to each of the following for making one or more donations to Bicycling Monterey in 2024. Among them is a donor who made a generous repeat donation Dec 6, and again on Dec 17, Martin Dehmler Fine Cabinetmaking.

Martin supports bike advocacy because of its multiple benefits, even for people who don’t bike: Reducing carbon emissions and traffic congestion, improving public health, strengthening community connections, boosting the economy, and increasing JOY!

After a sunny weekend, the weather shifted on Veterans Day, November 11. Rain is welcome in Monterey County and most of California. We refreshed our compilation of Tips for People Who Bike in Rainy Weather by adding @BarbChamberlain’s Nov 11 post. Also included are links to tips from Cascade Bicycle Club, Bike Portland, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, @BikeEastBay, and Bike League. bikemonterey.org/rainy-weather

"When #Driving is Not an Option: Steering Away from #CarDependency" by Anna Letitia Zivarts @Nondriver

Thanks to Monterey Public Library for purchasing this book. It arrived at the library this week, and we biked in to pick it up just before library closing this eve.

Thanks to @BarbChamberlain for bringing the book to our attention.

While we don’t live a car-free life, this is an important book for many reasons! It also brings to mind what one of the teachers for a bike tech program we founded often hears because he bikes for transportation nearly everywhere: "Did you get a DUI?” (he didn’t, he simply prefers biking to driving).

Cover of book ""When Driving is Not an Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency" by Anna Letitia Zivarts / Foreword by Dani Simons - Drawing shows five people at sheltered bus stop, including one in a wheelchair, two with canes, and two others. A bus is pulled alongside the stop, and the driver at the wheel is smiling, his face turned toward the people at the stop. Sticker at top of cover indicates the book is from the Monterey Public Library collection and includes a bar code number. A yellow sticker at top of book’s spine is only partly visible. (That sticker says “NEW 9.”

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” bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour and in “Shopping by Bike”: bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour

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

Scenes from 2024 Sea Otter Classic now include 4 video clips and 35 photos, plus more snippets of news: bikemonterey.org/scenes-from-s

Thanks to two photographers who contributed 6 of those pics, Sierra Rad and James Short; and one, Sieg Magenheim, who shot 9 for #Bicycling Monterey. We appreciate!

This lil sweetie pie didn't seem happy to be leaving Sea Otter on April 21, the final day of #Monterey County's 4-day Celebration of #Cycling.

A toddler wearing a bear-head bicycle helmet is seated on the front of his dad's bicycle. Dad is wearing a more ordinary-looking black helmet. Sometimes kids get all the fun! But this young child's face—eyes squinted closed, nose wrinkled—seems to express displeasure that the fun of this bicycling festival was over, and they were now biking to the parking lot to return to getting about by motor vehicle!

@ascentale @lioracle #BikeNite A2 And as for multi-use trails, City of Monterey specifically states that people on bikes are to reduce speed “and call out when passing.”

We have a few notes about sharing multi-use trails (use browser find window, find “outta my way”) in this Serious Cyclists section of the Tips for Bicycling Monterey County 20-section guide, created in 2009 with numerous subsequent updates. bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour

Blue sign with white lettering, posted on City of Monterey secton of the Monterey Bay Coastal Trail / Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail, announces: Welcome to the Monterey Bay Coastal Trail Montery Section. Rules and Safety Guidelines: Bicyclists reduce speed and call out when passing. Excessive speed and reckless trail use are prohibited. Be prepared to share the space. Be Safe. Be Courteous. Enjoy. Thank you for your cooperation. Please report damage or safety issues to our Parks Division 831-648-3860. Also on the sign, the word “LOOK” with arrows pointing to a person walking and a person biking (indicating both are to watch out for the other).

We've asked #MontereyCounty Health Department & Transportation Agency for #Monterey County to team up on getting word out to #HealthCare providers in the county that TAMC has free bike racks, lockers & repair stations. Often we've biked to a PT appt, etc. only to find nowhere to lock our bike.

Hartnell Professional Center, Monterey (which houses #Community Hospital of the #MontereyPeninsula / #CHOMP #PhysicalTherapy & other medical offices) DOES have a bike rack. They also have picnic tables, benches, shade trees. :)

Sadly, many benches have been removed from City of Monterey public spots (e.g., USPS Post Office & Alvarado Street). We mention that—and, in contrast, City of #Seaside's revitalized West Broadway, which is loaded with benches, and bike racks—in "Rest Stops: People who bike, walk, or otherwise get about sometimes just need to 'sit a spell.'" bikemonterey.org/rest-stops-pe
