February 2003

Bike Week 2003 is taking shape 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 creating 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 Solutions, the County’s program to encourage travel by means other than driving alone. Bike Week is our biggest effort of the year, and it garners the most publicity for bicycling.

We already have support in time and money from our traditional sponsors: Santa Barbara County; the cities of Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, Santa Maria, Lompoc, and Solvang; UCSB; and the Air Pollution Control District. 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 locations for Bike to Work Day. Volunteers are needed for staffing our booth at the Children’s Festival in Santa Barbara.

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

There are monthly Bike Week 2003 meetings that you’re welcome to join (see meeting list on page 2). Or just contact our dedicated Bike Week coordinator Erika Lindemann at 961-8919 or at Last year, several hundred kids enjoyed elindemann@sbcag.org. And check out Bike Week on our web site as bicycling on Bike to School Day. events are added and defined in coming months: www.sbbike.org .

Our video for sale We’re pleased to offer our own video “Decide to Ride.” It’s about a young woman who learns to bike commute to work. It’s only $18 (tax and US shipping included) from us, address above.

A description is available at www.sbbike.org/video/video.html.

Bike tour inspired by Santa Barbara web sites Fred and Nancy Meredith from Austin, Texas, were offered a Christmas trip anywhere in the US by their daughter. Fred is a board member for the League of American Bicyclists (LAB), and both of them are avid touring cyclists and active in the Austin Cycling 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 turned up two great sources of information: the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition and Santa Barbara Car Free. The latter encourages people to get around our County without their cars, and the Bicycle Coalition is an active participant in the program.

Arriving at the Santa Barbara Depot, the Merediths assembled their folding Bike Friday and Montague bicycles, attached panniers, and biked to a beachfront motel. Bicycle Coalition VP Ralph Fertig helped them with maps and suggestions, joined them for two dinners, and led them on two tours of the Santa Nancy and Fred Meredith with their bicycles Barbara area. In addition, the Merediths biked south to Port at UCSB on a very quiet New Year’s Day. Hueneme and north to Lompoc and Jalama Beach.

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

Bikepath entry is more inviting Thanks to volunteer efforts by Simon Burnworth, the entry to the Atascadero Bikepath off Modoc Road near Goleta looks much better.

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

The San Marcos High School junior earned an Eagle Scout award for his community project.

He built a post and rail fence and landscaped with low-maintenance plants, making the path entry more pleasant and noticeable.

Thank you Simon!

Last year, Armstrong was named the Sports Illustrated 2002 Sportsman of the Year and the Associated Press 2002 Male Athlete of the Year. Four-time Tour de France champion Armstrong spent a week biking with his teammates 70 to 115 miles a day all over our area.

Staying in a Solvang hotel, they were treated with a week of fine weather and bright green hills to climb. We know how splendid cycling in the valley can be, especially in the spring, but the team’s stay here gets the word out to others.

The team’s coach explains that early in the season, the riders are developing their aerobic engines with high cadences; later as races approach, they will work on power and speed. From here, the team moved to a training camp in Spain to prepare for upcoming races in Portugal and elsewhere in Europe.

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

Last October, six new ones replaced old rusted ones. Now, a second bike parking area has been constructed and another six Bike Track racks with pull-up arms are in place. They’re in welllighted, high-traffic areas, so next trip, save the parking fee and bike to the airport.

Thank you, members The Bicycle Coalition is grateful to the many members who responded to Wilson Hubbell’s call for support last December.

We’ll be certain to put it to good use to improve bicycling conditions within Santa Barbara County.

Grant House: Bicycling is just a way of life

Since April 1994, Sandra Wintermoss has served as secretary for the Bicycle Coalition, creating amazingly detailed minutes from our meetings. She voluteered her time to help register participants for the Pro Bike/Pro Walk 98 conference in Santa Barbara. She helped with Bike Week events for several years. Last August, she cooked great food for our Member Appreciation Barbecue. And there are lots of other things she helped with along the way.

Sandra recently resigned her position, although we hope that she will be around to help us help bicycling. We thank you, Sandra, for nearly a decade of dedicated effort.

Dominic’s inspiration January meeting topics When the Santa Barbara News-Press ran an article last December 16th on commuting alternatives between Ventura and Santa Barbara, they included the story of Dominic Clark’s 90-mile daily bicycle commute from Ventura to UCSB and back. Reactions from people ran from “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 coverage of his commute because he hoped others would be inspired by it. For at least one person, we heard it happened. Local nurse Jere Ziffer Lifshitz reported the following: “I met someone last weekend who started cycling to work (4 miles each way) in Carpinteria. He started this after reading the article in the New-Press about [Clark] who bikes from Ventura. He thought, if this guy can do it, so can I. Now, this man is probably in his mid 60s and was not a cyclist. In fact when he took his old bike to be tuned up to bike to work, he ended up getting a new one because the old one was so bad. I wanted you to know that the article did motivate at least one person who had never considered biking to work before.”

Our January 7th meeting ushered in 2003 with an evening gathering at Woody’s BBQ near Goleta. We had 19 people attend the dinner and meeting. We had two people report on bicycling projects.

Wilson Hubbell reported the on the following County 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 trails around Lake Cachuma, on the Santa Maria levee, and above the Tajiguas landfill.

Dru van Hengel reported on the following Santa 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.

Ads in “Quick Release” From the left, dedicated commuters Mike Mitchum, local dolphins, and Dominic Clark.

Another positive result of the news article is that Clark now has a co-rider, UCSB staff member Mike Mitchum who brings his bike by car from Ventura to Carpinteria, then joins Clark for the Carpinteria-to-UCSB section of the ride. By this summer, Mitchum hopes to have built enough endurance to leave his car at home and do the entire trip by bike.

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

We’re pleased that Clark has been impressed enough with what the Bicycle Coalition has been doing that he’s going to join us as a member. “I’m not a hero,” he says, “you guys are the heroes.”

Biking school gets building option

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

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

This is an important step toward keeping and possibly expanding the school and its exemplary bicycling program. We want them around a long time.

MTD bike use rises The Metropolitan Transit District (MTD) bus service reports that during their fiscal year 2001-2002, nearly 53,000 bicyclist trips were taken on their buses. This is with bike racks on all of their 40-foot buses that run 14 bus routes. For five years previously, bike racks existed only on buses that ran on MTD’s three long-distance routes, and during that period there was an average of 20,100 bicyclist trips a year. While it doesn’t make as much sense to use the bus for shorter trips, bicyclists have certainly found it useful. Thank you, MTD.
