In these times when gas andhousing prices are through the roof,Cole will talk about issues that willdetermine the future of our SouthCoast communities. Called “one ofSouthern California’s most vision-ary planning thinkers” by the LosAngeles Times, Cole puts local is-

Kids go mountain biking

Thanks to efforts from the Santa Barbara Moun-tain Bike Trail Volunteers, a large group of youngbikers took to the Ellwood Open Space last Octo-ber 1st with enthusiasm. This is the second yearof their “Take a Kid Mountain Biking” event,sponsored by the International Mountain BikingAssociation (IMBA) in partnership with local or-ganizations. There were more than 80 similarevents around the US this October, including nineothers in California.

About 60 participants turned out this year forfun riding and nature stops at the monarch but-terfly trees and geological formations. Everybodywas energized by the exciting family event, andthey are looking forward to more in the future.

Measure D taxIs 101 In Motion going to be the tail that wagsthe Measure D dog? That remains to be seen.

The 101 In Motion process that identifiedprojects and programs to reduce motorist conges-tion on Highway 101 was unanimously approvedby the SBCAG Board on October 20th. Bicyclingwas not part of the long list of measures identi-fied to reduce traffic congestion. We could, how-ever, play a role in some components of thepackage of solutions—like bikes accommodatedon commuter trains, and as part of an “individu-alized marketing” program that tells people howto take advantage of alternatives to driving alone.

The package was estimated to cost $600 mil-lion in 2005 dollars—$400 million for wideningHighway 101 from Santa Barbara to the VenturaCounty line; $80 million for commuter rail; and$120 million for a long list of projects that almostentirely speed up cars and trucks.

The main contention is between rail and high-way widening. Some SBCAG members said imple-ment rail first, others said widening had to befirst; some said everything had to be included,others said it’s a menu from which to later select.

How it might be funded is the looming and un-answered question. In order for Measure D re-newal to be approved by voters, the SBCAGconsultant says that it must contain specific pro-visions for alternative transportation, congestionrelief, roadway maintenance, and safety mea-sures—or it will fail. So, is the choice between101 In Motion or what people want in Measure D?

Coalition brings Cole to speak locallysues facing Central Coast commu-nities in the context of globalforces reshaping people’s livesaround the world.

Right now Americans constitute6% of our planet’s population, butwe consume 22% of the fossil fu-els. By 2015, though, China willsurpass us as the globe’s largestgas guzzler. The choices we makein our communities today will de-termine our standard of living andquality of life when gas hits sevenbucks a gallon.

New electric bike shop

On October 1, a new bike shop opened inSanta Barbara, offering its own line ofelectric-assisted bicycles. It’s the result ofcreative thinking by owners Scott andSusanna Shaw who spent much of lastyear in Asia arranging business deals withmanufacturers. They chose to partner onlywith companies that have legitimate laborpractices, ensure worker safety, and pro-vide good employee compensation. All bi-cycle design, development and final as-sembly are done locally.

The business—Santa Barbara ElectricBicycle Company—has a line of bikes andscooters named after different local places,like the “Riviera,” a foldable commuterbike. There are commuters, cruisers, andoff-road machines.

The bikes can run on electric batteries,pedaling only, or a combination of both.That makes them useful for places likeUCSB where electric power can be used toget to the University on streets, but turnedoff to legally navigate campus bikepaths.

With gas around $3 a gallon, people arelooking for ways to save money, but someare unsure about their ability to pedaleverywhere—so the Shaws are offering atimely alternative. Visit them at 630Anacapa Street, or online at www.sbebc.com.

Willie’s coming backAt our Board of Directors meeting on Sep-tember 5th, we discussed Bike Week 2006and with enthusiasm hoped to bringWillie Weir back for our third annual BikeWeek Celebration. So our president RalphFertig talked to Willie and indeed, heagreed to return to Santa Barbara. Thiswill follow his three-month bicycle tourwith wife Kat through Thailand, Laos,Vietnam and Cambodia, so we anticipatean exciting, not-to-be-missed evening.

by Ralph FertigOn October 19th, I attended one of eight re-gional workshops that dealt with a new“mobility initiative” being proposed by thestate’s Business, Transportation and Hous-ing Agency. Because my invitation calledme “a prominent transportation leader inCalifornia,” I had to go.There were about 70participants from sixcounties between SantaCruz and Ventura.

Caltrans Director WillKempton gave a presen-tation that described theGoCalifornia initiative.Nearly all of it concernedmoving cars and truckson highways. After that,we moved to three indi-vidual break-out ses-sions where comments, at least in mysession, addressed issues of multi-modaltravel (like bike-to-bus trips), safety, infillhousing, and alternatives like walking andbiking. We were much more concernedwith moving people than motor vehicles.

I suggested a greater emphasis on “indi-vidualized marketing,” citing the experi-

ence in South Perth, Australia. There, pro-gram workers visited individual households,analyzed their trips, and suggested non-driving alternatives like bus, bike and foot.It was a great success because it reduced cartravel by 17%, while increased bicycling by

61%, walking trips by35%, and bus use by17%. The program cost1/30 what new roadwayswould have cost, and wasexpanded to the adjacentcity of Perth.

Afterwards, I talked toKempton. I told him thatour county is 14th high-est in the US for bikecommuting. He knewabout our upcomingMeasure D renewal, and

he asked whether we were asking for adedicated percentage for bicycling. I was as-tounded, and said that it’s under consider-ation. He’s an active runner, so appreciatesthe benefits of exercise.

Our workshop input will be rolled intoGoCalifornia, so we’ll be watching to see ifwe’ve made a difference.

A new transportation act with the clumsyacronym SAFETEA-LU was signed into lawby the president on August 10th at a Cater-pillar manufacturing plant, emphasizing thenew road construction and American jobsthat will come from the $286.5 billion act.

Bicycling wasn’t mentioned at the sign-ing, but the good news is that we also wonbig. SAFETEA-LU will steer about $4 bil-lion into federal funding of bike paths andbike-related programs over the next fiveyears. Bicycle advocate Representative EarlBlumenauer has called the bill “the bestbicycle bill in history.” The major bicyclingcomponents found in the thousand-pagedocument are:• Safe Routes to School, $612 million. This

was described in last month’s Quick Release.• Recreational Trails Program, $370

million. At least 30% must be spent onnon-motorized trails.

• Highway Safety Improvement Program,$5.0 billion. Bicycling and pedestriansafety projects will probably win about 1%of the dollars. It can include traffic calmingmeasures and cyclist-safe rumble strips.

• Highway Safety Program, $1.06 billion.This funds education and enforcementprograms, including bicycling programs.

New federal transportation act “SAFETEA-LU”• Scenic Byways, $175 million. Bicyclist and

pedestrian projects will probably comprise2-3% of the total.

• Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Grants,$2.3 million. This will continue funding forthe national information clearinghouse.

• Nonmotorized Transportation PilotProgram, $100 million. This is split fourways for selected communities, includingMarin County in California, to assess theimpact of a nonmotorized infrastructure.

• Alternative Transportation in Parks andPublic Lands, $96 million. This specificallyincludes nonmotorized modes of travel.

• Transportation Enhancements, $3.5billion. This has been the major fundingsource for bicycling projects that, from thebeginning of the program in 1991, havebeen obtaining the largest share among alarge group of eligible categories.

• Transportation Planning. There are newrequirements for our SBCAG and otherregional planning agencies to includerepresentatives of bicyclists and pedestriansin their periodic transportation planning.

SAFETEA-LU is a complex act that will bewith us until 2009. We will be pleased towork with local jurisdictions as they pursuefunding from these programs to help us all.

Hundreds do bike rides

Two major rides in Santa Barbara Countytook place recently: The Goleta Valley Cy-cling Club’s People Powered Ride on Octo-ber 9th, and the Multiple Sclerosis BikeTour & Fest on October 15th. Both rides re-ported cyclist numbers about the same asin 2004, with 400 at the former, and 1200at the latter.

Doris Phinney, Goleta Valley CyclingClub president, noted that not only did theride start at Firestone Meadows near LosOlivos, but that owners Kate and BrooksFirestone mingled with the riders in the af-ternoon. And Kate even baked brownies forthe hungry riders. We bet they went fast!

Scott McGolpinNext time you’re out and about on your bi-cycle, don’t be surprised if you encounterone of the South Coast’s newer bike com-muters: Scott McGolpin, Deputy PublicWorks Director for Santa Barbara County.He’s now riding a couple of times a week(or more) from the Winchester Canyon areato downtown Santa Barbara and back,which is a very respectable bike commuteby anybody’s standards.

Scott’s typical route in the morning includesCathedral Oaks Road, San Antonio Road,Calle Real and State Street. Going home heusually travels along Bath Street, ModocRoad, the Obern Trail, the El Colegio Bike-path, Phelps Road and Hollister Avenue.

Scott began bike commuting as a way toget some mid-week exercise and cut backon gasoline purchases. He found that bicy-cling did achieve those objectives, but alsodiscovered that he really enjoyed the rideand that bicycling had a positive mentaland physical impact on the way he feltupon arriving at work in the morning andreturning home in the evening. He also rec-ognized that his bike commute didn’t takeas long as he originally expected, and notall that much longer than the time it wouldtake to commute by car during rush hour.Now he wishes that he started to ride 20years ago…

Scott’s duties with the County includethe administrative and managerial controlof the County’s transportation system, in-cluding streets, roads, on-street bikelanesand major bikepaths (like the Obern Trailand the Maria Ygnacio Creek Bikepath).Because his commute is long and his routeis circuitous, Scott now regularly sees manykey segments of the South Coast’s bicyclinginfrastructure “up close and personal.” Thisexperience provides him with a perspectiveof roads, bikelanes and bikepaths that onlythose who bicycle regularly seem to have.

Welcome Scott, see you on the bikepath!

Governor vetoesMaldonado’s bike bill

Just weeks after holding a press conferencewith Lance Armstrong to talk aboutCalifornia’s dire obesity situation, GovernorArnold Schwarzenegger vetoed two keypieces of bicycling legislation. Both billshad bipartisan support and would have hadnegligible impact on the state’s budget.

Senator Abel Maldonado from SantaMaria co-authored SB 523. The bill wouldhave maintained the current level of fund-ing for the state’s Bicycle TransportationAccount. That funding source has providedgrants to jurisdictions for bicycle projectsthat serve commuters. Without SB 523,funding will now decrease from $7.2 to $5million a year statewide. The $2.2 millionloss is an insignificant amount ofCalifornia’s overall transportation budget.While $5 million is significantly less thandemand, it’s still above the $360,000 thatwas the annual funding until our Repre-sentative Brooks Firestone managed tohave it increased to the current levels.

The Governor also vetoed AB 748, an-other bill with bipartisan support, whichwould have allowed bicyclists and pedestri-ans to walk and bike for free on our state’sroadways, bridges and highways withoutpaying a toll. In times of obesity, our gov-ernor should encourage increased activity.

Riders take off from Leadbetter Beach in SantaBarbara on the 60-mile MS Bike Tour & Fest.

Triathlons gain inpopularity

The September 30thCarpinteria Triathlon had 702 competitors,while the August 27th Santa BarbaraTriathlon had 1516 athletes competing.Both of those numbers are up from 2004.

Bruce Davis from Hazard’s Cyclesportnoted that the Carpinteria event had morefirst-time athletes, perhaps those testing thewaters (and roads) before attacking thelonger, more competitive Santa Barbara Tri.

Just out of the water, Carpinteria Triathloncompetitors jog to the starting line of the 40-kilometer cycling leg of the race.

Mountain unicycling?You’re kidding!

One wheel does not a bicycle make, but itcan still get you around with humanpower. Local unicyclists Eyal Aharoni andMatt Wilhelm worked to create a local off-road group in 2003, and to bring the Cali-fornia Mountain Unicycle Weekend 2005to Santa Barbara. A series of events tookplace October 14-16 in Montecito andSummerland. They attracted 70 guys andgals with well-honed balance skills to ridedown Cold Springs and San Ysidro Trails,plus ride on ramps, bridges, stairs and ateeter-totter in a trials competition. Inter-ested? Go to the local site www.sbuni.org forinspiration and information. You havenothing to lose but half your wheels.

Open and shut roads

Last spring, heavy rains swept away a High-way 150 bridge that provided cyclists a sce-nic route between Carpinteria and Ojai.

Caltrans immediately jumped to the taskof replacing not only the missing span, buyanother narrow one just upstream. In mid-October, they finished both and opened theroadway. However, they then closed High-way 192 where in intersects 150 to improvesafety at what has been an awkward inter-section. So we can now use 150, but haveto avoid 192 until that work is finished.
