Bike Week 2003 is taking shape

Bike tour inspired by Santa Barbara web sitesFred and Nancy Meredith from Austin, Texas, were offered aChristmas trip anywhere in the US by their daughter. Fred is aboard member for the League of American Bicyclists (LAB), andboth of them are avid touring cyclists and active in the AustinCycling Association. They decided to take Amtrak to California,pack their folding bikes, and tour the coast by bicycle.

Research on the Internet and LAB’s Bicyclists Almanac turnedup two great sources of information: the Santa Barbara BicycleCoalition and Santa Barbara Car Free. The latter encouragespeople to get around our County without their cars, and the Bi-cycle Coalition is an active participant in the program.

Arriving at the Santa Barbara Depot, the Merediths assembledtheir folding Bike Friday and Montague bicycles, attached pan-niers, and biked to a beachfront motel. Bicycle Coalition VPRalph Fertig helped them with maps and suggestions, joinedthem for two dinners, and led them on two tours of the SantaBarbara area. In addition, the Merediths biked south to PortHueneme and north to Lompoc and Jalama Beach.

Although the weather was cooler than they had anticipated, the Merediths had a terrific bicycle vacationin Santa Barbara County. Fred says that it was a wonderful adventure in meeting people and seeing things.

Mark your calendars: May 17-25. Now add these Bike Week events:• May 17—Children's Festival• May 20—Bike to School Day• May 21—Bike to Work Day.

That’s not all. Our Bike Week committee is busy identifying and cre-ating all kinds of other events to celebrate the benefits, pleasure,and diversity of bicycling throughout Santa Barbara County.

Bike Week is an effort by the Bicycle Coalition and Traffic Solu-tions, the County’s program to encourage travel by means otherthan driving alone. Bike Week is our biggest effort of the year, andit garners the most publicity for bicycling.

We already have support in time and money from our traditionalsponsors: Santa Barbara County; the cities of Santa Barbara, Carpinteria,Santa Maria, Lompoc, and Solvang; UCSB; and the Air Pollution Control Dis-trict. Plus we’ve received private funding from Venoco and the Wendy P. McCaw

Foundation.We need your help. Teachers and parents are needed to help

with Bike to School Day. Site helpers are needed for the eight lo-cations for Bike to Work Day. Volunteers are needed for staffingour booth at the Children’s Festival in Santa Barbara.

What we need most right now is corporate sponsorship. If yourcompany can help with money or bike-related items or other in-kind donations, we need you. A brochure is coming this month todescribe the benefits that come from different contributions.

There are monthly Bike Week 2003 meetings that you’re wel-come to join (see meeting list on page 2). Or just contact our dedi-cated Bike Week coordinator Erika Lindemann at 961-8919 or [email protected]. And check out Bike Week on our web site asevents are added and defined in coming months: www.sbbike.org .

Last year, several hundred kids enjoyedbicycling on Bike to School Day.

Quick Release • February 2003 •

Wilson Hubbell, President.

Bikepaths aregetting busierall the timewith morecyclists, dogwalkers, jog-gers, runners,rollerbladers,skateboarders,and othersvying forspace. A rela-tively newaddition to this mix is the motorized scooter,which, according to a recent amendment tothe California Vehicle Code, is now legally al-lowed on bikepaths and in bikelanes.

In case you have not seen these, a motor-ized scooter is your basic two-wheeled footpowered scooter with a gasoline or electricmotor attached to the back wheel (seewww.viza.com for a peek). The electric modelsare generally quiet and travel at 12 MPH or so,but the gasoline powered models sound like achainsaw (102 to 110 decibels at full speed—see www.fullertonscooters.com) and travel at 20 to22 MPH or more. Worse yet, just one of thesmall gasoline scooter motors can spew morehydrocarbons per gallon than fifty 2000 modelyear cars combined (see www.arb.ca.gov )!

The Vehicle Code allows cities and countiesto adopt ordinances that specifically forbidmotorized scooters on bikepaths (but notbikelanes), and some would argue that a mo-torized vehicle of any type has no business onfacilities designed for human powered trans-port. I personally don’t have a problem withoccasionally encountering an electric scootermoving along at 12 MPH, but no way do I wantto share a bikepath with any vehicle that pol-lutes more than 50 cars and can cause hearingloss in less than 15 minutes of exposure (OSHAnoise exposure standard, 100 to 110 decibels).

It seems to me that an ordinance specifi-cally banning gasoline powered scooters is inorder here, and you can anticipate that theCoalition may be asking our elected officials tohelp us out.

Word from the President

Movement forregional velodrome

In the early 1990s, a movement for a CentralCoast velodrome cycling track looked promis-ing for construction at Santa Barbara ShoresCounty Park. However, a subsequent outcryagainst any active sports at the park extin-guished that vision. The dream persisted, andlast year it returned with the enthusiasticsupport of Mike Hecker and other cyclists.

Over the US, there is an increasing enthusi-asm for track racing. Eighteen velodromes cur-rently exist in the country, and eight newones are being planning. The latest velodromein the US opened to fanfare last spring inRochester Hills, Michigan. The Mike WaldenVelodrome was constructed in a city park for$500,000 using donations from a group of 250dreamers and believers. It will be maintainedby volunteers, and supported by contributionsand by user fees.

Our Central Coast Velodrome Movement ispicking up speed. It has eight board members,and support of the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coa-lition and the Santa Barbara Bicycle Club.Check out the velodrome web site by clickingto it from www.bikesb.com .

There’s a petition that you might wish tosign, an email list to join, and other details.As this goes to press, 300 individuals have al-ready signed the petition. Finding a locationis probably our greatest challenge facing thenew velodrome, but having an organizationand plan ready to go will speed the transitionfrom dream to reality.

Ortega Hill bikepath updateMontecito’s Ortega Hill auxiliary lane and bikepathwill begin public review in March 2003; they arescheduled to start construction in late 2003 and becompleted in one year. This is a $4.9 million projectthat is fully funded.

Bikepath entry ismore inviting

Thanks to volunteer efforts by SimonBurnworth, the entry to the AtascaderoBikepath off Modoc Road near Goleta looksmuch better.

The San Marcos High School junior earned anEagle Scout award for his community project.He built a post and rail fence and landscapedwith low-maintenance plants, making thepath entry more pleasant and noticeable.Thank you Simon!

New landscaping and a fence now announce theentrance to the Atascadero Bikepath.

Lake Cachuma trailplanning

URS Corporation is busily working on a draftversion of a new plan for recreation at LakeCachuma, according to URS environmental sci-entist Autumn McKee. This is being done forthe US Department of Reclamation, the agencyresponsible for management of the water sup-ply and the surrounding land.

The Bicycle Coalition submitted a petitionlast year with the names of 216 supporters. Itencouraged the Department to include newtrails in their upcoming plan. The draft docu-ment will be out in March or April and publiccomment will be solicited at that time. Wedon’t know what trails will be included, but inany event, we’ll be prepared to speak up.

A community has to have the capacity to envision afuture they want, and not just the one they are likelyto get.—Dom's Urban Design web site user.gru.net/domz/


Madajian offerscommute bike info

Bicycle Coalition member David Madajian wasseeking a “commuter bike” for his son. Allthat he found were mountain bikes or BMXbikes, not the best bikes for riding to schooland around the neighborhood. Although therewas nothing available for kids in the UnitedStates, he did find several bikes for sale inEurope and Japan.

In doing research, Madajian found manymanufacturers of commuter bikes for adults,and that’s what he decided to post online onhis personal web site. What differentiates acommuter bike from a hybrid, touring, cross,or mountain bike? Typically, commuter bikesposition the rider in an upright position andcome equipped with racks, fenders, bells,chain guards, reflectors, mid-width tires, anda lighting system. Some have kick stands,moderate suspension, or internal gearing.

To look at what’s available and where youcan see it, check out Madajian’s page:

http://members.101freeway.com/davidm/MyWebsite/commuter_bicycles.htm

And for general information and inspirationon bike commuting, look at the BicycleCoalition’s section on commuting:

www.sbbike.org/commute/commute.htmlAs for the possibility of kids commute bikes,Madajian’s emails to manufacturers have re-sulted in an expressed interest in importing ormanufacturing them in the US in the future.Our thanks to him for all his work.

Thank you, membersThe Bicycle Coalition is grateful to themany members who responded to WilsonHubbell’s call for support last December.We’ll be certain to put it to good use toimprove bicycling conditions within SantaBarbara County.

Bike articles growing 23% a yearSince 1992, the Bicycle Coalition’ Ralph Fertighas kept track of mentions or photos of bi-cycling published in South Coast newspapers.After increasing for seven years straight, thetotals declined slightly in 2000 and 2001, butnew counts show a dramatic increase for 2002.

Not all mentions or graphics involving bi-cycles are counted, only those deemed to havea significant bicycling content, not an inci-dental one. So many of those initially cap-tured were excluded from the final tally.

Although there was an increase across thebicycling spectrum in 2002, three topics gen-erated a flurry of attention:

• Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France.• Tom Becker’s assertion that “automobiles

such as the Toyota Prius hybrid vehicleproduce less pollution per mile traveled thana bicyclist.”

• The “Safe Trails” people who want toprohibit bicyclists from South Coast trails.

Overall, the significant rise in bicycle newscoverage over the last eleven years reflectspositively on the Bicycle Coalition’s efforts toincrease public awareness. On the average, bi-cycling news has increased by 23% a year

since 1992. Where can we go from here?There’s no reason we can’t push it higher.

Airport gets morebicycle racks

Airport director Karen Ramsdell has done itagain—she’s installed racks for six extra bi-cycles at the Santa Barbara Airport.

Last October, six new ones replaced old rustedones. Now, a second bike parking area has beenconstructed and another six Bike Track rackswith pull-up arms are in place. They’re in well-lighted, high-traffic areas, so next trip, savethe parking fee and bike to the airport.

Lance was hereGuess who came to cycle around the SantaYnez Valley for a week? Lance Armstrong andthe US Postal Service racing team!

Last year, Armstrong was namedthe Sports Illustrated 2002Sportsman of the Year and theAssociated Press 2002 Male Ath-lete of the Year. Four-time Tourde France champion Armstrongspent a week biking with histeammates 70 to 115 miles a dayall over our area.

Staying in a Solvang hotel,they were treated with a weekof fine weather and bright greenhills to climb. We know howsplendid cycling in the valleycan be, especially in the spring,but the team’s stay here getsthe word out to others.

The team’s coach explainsthat early in the season, the rid-ers are developing their aerobicengines with high cadences;later as races approach, they willwork on power and speed. Fromhere, the team moved to a train-ing camp in Spain to prepare forupcoming races in Portugal andelsewhere in Europe.

New racks for six additional bicycles wererecently installed at Santa Barbara Airport.

Abandoned railwaybrings opportunity

Last October 24, the Santa Maria Valley Railroadannounced the abandonment of 4.9 miles oftrack. Unless a government body intervened in30 days, the land would revert to landowners.

This particular section runs along thenorthern edge of Allan Hancock College, un-derneath Highway 101, and east almost to theSanta Maria River, where it turns south. TheCity of Santa Maria obtained a 180 day exten-sion in order to act. They then held a publicmeeting on January 15, where suggestions forpossible use of the corridor were solicited. Areport on the meeting is being prepared forthe City Council for review and possible action.

All over the country, government agencieshave been seizing the opportunity to turnsimilar railways into multipurpose paths forbicyclists, walkers, equestrians, and others.The national Rails-to-Trails Conservancy re-ports that over 1100 individual sections ofabandoned railroad have been saved and havebeen turned into popular community ameni-ties. Stay tuned for Santa Maria action.

by Erika LindemannSanta Barbara resident and business ownerGrant House is probably best known in thiscommunity as Plan-ning Commissioner forthe City of Santa Bar-bara and owner ofGrant House SewingMachines, but he isalso a bicycle advocateand enthusiast.

Bikes have alwaysbeen a part of Grant’slife. “My bike is mypreferred transporta-tion mode. I ride itwhenever I can. I lovefeeling the wind in myhair, the variations intemperatures andweather, and the col-ors and smells I en-counter during mycommute.”

Grant doesn’t thinkpeople who use cars should be demonized,even drivers of SUVs. Instead people should beencouraged to look at the advantages of usingtheir cars for trips when they are truly neededand try leaving them parked in the garagewhen a trip can be better serviced by bike, busor foot.

Grant’s first commuting experience was ona little red tricycle, his first bike. He was re-stricted to the yard, due to his young age,which little Grant found entirely unacceptablesince he wanted to visit his mom at work.Grant dug a hole under a fence, pushed his

Grant House: Bicycling is just a way of lifetrike through, and was found along a busystreet shortly thereafter, happily riding tofind his mom! He’s been commuting by bi-

cycle ever since.Grant made the

connection betweenbicycling and landuse when he joinedforces with Grassroots101 in opposition ofthe widening projectCaltrans was propos-ing for Highway 101in the early 1990s.Since his initial in-volvement, Grant hasworked tirelessly toimprove circulationthroughout the Cityof Santa Barbara, es-pecially on theEastside. Grant’s pri-orities for the futureare to that increasemobility for those

needing to cross Highway 101.We are certainly lucky to have Grant House

as one of the Bicycle Coalition’s members andavid supporters. Our bicycling community hasbeen strengthened by the work he has done toimprove mobility in the City of Santa Barbaraand beyond.

Grant House arrives for work at his sewingmachine shop in Magnolia Plaza near Goleta.

IMBA gradesCalifornia with a “C”

IMBA, the International Mountain Biking As-sociation, graded bike access issues in allstates for 2002. California ended up near thebottom, in 42nd place.

The grades ranged from Colorado’s A- toMississippi’s D+. While we got good marks forBay Area activists, the potential loss of popu-lar trails to wilderness designation was anegative. User trail conflict and unauthorizedtrail use in Southern California also draggedthe average down. What trend does IMBA seefor California? More future challenges.

January meeting topicsOur January 7th meeting ushered in 2003 withan evening gathering at Woody’s BBQ nearGoleta. We had 19 people attend the dinnerand meeting. We had two people report on bi-cycling projects.Wilson Hubbell reported the on the followingCounty projects:• A new bike bridge was built over Maria

Ygnacia Creek.• $485,000 was spent for safer routes to North

County schools.• New solar-powered lights were installed on

the Atascadero bikepath.• Several paths were resurfaced.• New paths will be studied near Rincon

County Park.• A new bikepath will be constructed over

Ortega Hill in Montecito.• North Jameson Lane will get bikelanes.• Consideration was given for bikelanes on

Foothill Road, Purisima Road; and for trailsaround Lake Cachuma, on the Santa Marialevee, and above the Tajiguas landfill.

Dru van Hengel reported on the followingSanta Barbara City projects:• City bikelanes doubled between 1990-2000

to 42 miles.• A new Shoreline Drive bikepath will be

constructed this year.• A Pershing Park path will be built this year.• Bike to School events will be emphasized.• A City pool of Breezer city bikes will be

available for employees.• Fitness issues will be pursued through a

partnership with Cottage Hospital.• A Granada Garage bikestation will be built.

Biking school getsbuilding option

On January 7, Santa Barbara Middle School—the “bikingest school in the country”—wasoffered an option to buy their building by theFranciscan owners. There was a fear that if theother contender for purchase were chosen, theschool would have to move. So now theMiddle School and the Waldorf School thatuses another part of St. Anthony’s have amonth to arrange financing for the purchase.

This is an important step toward keepingand possibly expanding the school and its ex-emplary bicycling program. We want themaround a long time.

The landmark 1899 St. Anthony’s Seminarybuilding is home to Santa Barbara Middle School.

Dominic’s inspirationWhen the Santa Barbara News-Press ran an ar-ticle last December 16th on commuting alter-natives between Ventura and Santa Barbara,they included the story of Dominic Clark’s90-mile daily bicycle commute from Venturato UCSB and back. Reactions from people ranfrom “if he can do that, I can do my ride” to“he’s superhuman and crazy, that’s not me.”

Clark said that he had agreed to the cover-age of his commute because he hoped otherswould be inspired by it. For at least one per-son, we heard it happened. Local nurse JereZiffer Lifshitz reported the following:

“I met someone last weekend who startedcycling to work (4 miles each way) inCarpinteria. He started this after reading thearticle in the New-Press about [Clark] whobikes from Ventura. He thought, if this guycan do it, so can I. Now, this man is probablyin his mid 60s and was not a cyclist. In factwhen he took his old bike to be tuned up tobike to work, he ended up getting a new onebecause the old one was so bad. I wanted youto know that the article did motivate at leastone person who had never considered bikingto work before.”

Another positive result of the news article isthat Clark now has a co-rider, UCSB staffmember Mike Mitchum who brings his bikeby car from Ventura to Carpinteria, then joinsClark for the Carpinteria-to-UCSB section ofthe ride. By this summer, Mitchum hopes tohave built enough endurance to leave his carat home and do the entire trip by bike.

Mitchum is familiar to us—it turns out thathe did free bike check-ups for the Bicycle Coa-lition in 1999 during our “Bike Saturday”event in Downtown Santa Barbara.

We’re pleased that Clark has been impressedenough with what the Bicycle Coalition hasbeen doing that he’s going to join us as amember. “I’m not a hero,” he says, “you guysare the heroes.”

From the left, dedicated commuters MikeMitchum, local dolphins, and Dominic Clark.

MTD bike use risesThe Metropolitan Transit District (MTD) busservice reports that during their fiscal year2001-2002, nearly 53,000 bicyclist trips weretaken on their buses. This is with bike rackson all of their 40-foot buses that run 14 busroutes. For five years previously, bike racksexisted only on buses that ran on MTD’s threelong-distance routes, and during that periodthere was an average of 20,100 bicyclist tripsa year. While it doesn’t make as much sense touse the bus for shorter trips, bicyclists havecertainly found it useful. Thank you, MTD.
