www.sbbike.org Serving Santa Barbara County We’re a countywide advocacy and resource organization that promotes bicycling for safe transportation and recreation.
2003: a year of accomplishments by Ralph Fertig
Looking back, we are proud of a long list of Bicycle Coalition achievements during 2003. Events raised the visibility of bicycling within our county, and our advocacy efforts paid off with many projects being completed or moving ahead. For 2004, we’re going to monitor progress of projects, and pursue opportunities to make bicycling for transportation and recreation better than ever. Here are examples of great things we did in 2003:

New Year’s Resolutions
Coalition election
Word from the President • Say hi whenever you pass another rider going up a hill. • Carry an extra tube that you can donate to somebody with Wilson Hubbell, President. a flat tire and no spare. • Ride sometime in weather that keeps other cyclists indoors. • Spend $2 every time you go into a bike shop. Spend $5 if you ask a question and get good advice. • Ride under a full moon in the summertime. • Signal your approach to pedestrians, especially if they’re old or very young. • Remember that the sound of a bell is more pleasing than “on your left.” • When you see another rider approaching from the rear and trying to catch you, let it happen. • Never let your chain squeak. • Let others descend faster when you are not comfortable doing so. • Remember that a humble bicycle on the road is more valuable than a titanium wunderbike languishing indoors. • Know that fun is more important than fast.
Let others know that cycling is good for the soul, good for the community and good for the world.
Our Bicycle Coalition election of officers and members of the board was slowed by a new process this year and by a change in structure of our organization. It was decided early in the year to create an advisory committee of individuals who work for a government body and felt some conflicts in interest when voting; they would not run for elected positions in the Bicycle Coalition. That made the work of our Election Committee more difficult. However, everything has been resolved, and we now have a group of individuals who we feel are very capable of carrying our mission forward. Voting will be held during our monthly meeting on February 3rd, 2004. All members in good standing at the time are eligible to vote. You can vote by either mailing in the ballot or a copy of it to SB Bicycle Coalition, PO Box 92047, Santa Barbara, CA 93190, or by coming in person to the meeting where blank ballots will be provided.

News-Press has major bicycling article Senior Writer Melinda Burns at the Santa Barbara News-Press has been exploring different approaches to “unlocking the gridlock” of transportation on our South Coast. She worked with several Bicycle Coalition members in preparing a major front-page article that was published on Sunday, December 14. Out thanks to Burns and Coalition members who helped: Robert Bernstein, Rob Dayton, Dru van Hengel, Kent Epperson and Ralph Fertig. Overall, the long article covered many aspects of bicycling. Among all the quotes used was one from District 1 Supervisor Naomi Schwartz: “Making biking more of a habit in our transportation routines is something we need to continue to foster.” Quick Release • January 2004 • Page 2
December Coalition meeting topics Our December 2nd Bicycle Coalition meeting had good discussions and actions, including these: • June Pujo described the City’s Transportation and Circulation Committee’s function, and invited us to attend and participate. • A Bike Week kick-off event was described. • Matt Dobberteen, the County’s newest alternative transportation person, described his responsibilities. • Ralph Fertig described the importance of upcoming Lake Cachuma meetings. • CREF grant applications of interest to bicyclists are for new bridge planks on the Obern Trail and for work on the San Jose Creek bikepath. • A Coalition letter to the City of Goleta about plans for paths in the EllwoodDevereux Open Space was proposed, modified, and approved. • A Coalition letter about El Colegio/San Clemente UCSB projects was modified and approved. • An upcoming article about bike commuting in the News-Press was described.
Accomplishments, from page 1 • Petitioned the National Park Service to provide a Coastal Trail between Goleta and Gaviota; unhappily, the NPS declined to be involved with saving our coast. • Asked Joni Gray to put shoulders on Purisima Road north of Lompoc—the project is moving ahead. • Spoke out for bicycle facilities in Goleta’s upcoming General Plan. • Tried to save an abandoned Santa Maria railroad bed for a trail, but we were rejected by the City Council. • Worked with the Santa Barbara Airport to get new bike racks installed for 12 bikes. • Talked to Portland’s Community Cycling Center about starting a similar project here. • Helped persuade the Goleta City Council to proceed with plans for the San Jose Creek bikepath and an Ellwood bike bridge. • Helped get funding for school zone signs and solar-powered speed signs for use near schools. • Encouraged Santa Barbara to proceed with plans for a bikepath along Shoreline Drive above Leadbetter Beach. Was that a great year, or what? Many of the challenges are continuing into 2004, so we’ll be watching them carefully, alerting you when individual action is needed on your part, and taking action as a representative of the thousands of Santa Barbara County people who bicycle when a collective voice is needed. 2004? Bring it on!
High school mountain bike clubs forming Bicycle Coalition board member and race promoter Mike Hecker is jumping into a new aspect of bicycling—promoting high school mountain biking groups within Santa Barbara County. Hecker was aware of high school racing in Northern California. Matthew Fritzinger, a cyclist and teacher at Berkeley High School started the NorCal High School Mountain Bike Racing League six years ago with four kids at his school. It now consists of more than 200 teenagers at 12 schools. Their mountain bike riding and racing program is open to public and private high school riders in Northern California.
HIGH SCHOOL BIKING This is part of a poster that promotes Northern California high school mountain bike competition for 2004.
Nothing like that program exists in Central or Southern California. If the interest exists in Northern California, it’s probably here as well. So when Jacob Siegel-Boettner, a student at San Marcos High School asked Hecker for guidance in starting a bike club, things started to happen. A program manual and advice from Fritzinger were obtained, and possibilities were considered. Hecker found out that Jim Aaron, a board member of the San Luis Obispo Bicycle Coalition, is organizing a similar program for SLO County kids there. What’s needed to get the fledgling program launched in Santa Barbara County are teachers, parents and students who can help organize, sponsor, train, and otherwise support the kids. Hecker envisions a modest 2004 program starting this month, with regional high school competition championships at his Firestone CrossCountry Races on April 24-25. Want to help or learn more? Contact Hecker by phone at 966-1807 or by email at hecktone@cox.net. To see what’s going on in Northern California, check out www.norcalhighracing.org.
Coalition urges new bike trails at Cachuma In 2002 when the idea of expanding recreational opportunities on land around Lake Cachuma was announced by the US Bureau of Reclamation, Bicycle Coalition members responded by speaking at meetings, sending letters to newspapers, and organizing a 216-name petition. We asked for a bike trail around the lake and more paved paths near camping. Since then, the Bureau worked with consultants URS Corporation Alternative 2 to develop three preliminary alternative scenarios that they presented to the public at two “mid-course check-in” December meetings in Solvang and Goleta. They broke the land and lake into 23 “planning units” and for each unit and each of the alternatives, different functions were proposed. The entire plan is complex, but for bicyclists, it became simple once you figured it out. One thing was clear—there would be no access to land anywhere near Bradbury Dam or the water Alternative 3 intake tunnel to the South Coast. So our beautiful vision of a bike trail around the lake was lost.

Bikeway programs awarded CREF money
House version of transportation bill
Coalition Board views Bike Week 2004
Three bicycle-related projects were awarded funding from Santa Barbara County’s Coastal Resource Enhancement Fund (CREF) in December. The County established CREF in 1987 to mitigate impacts of offshore oil and gas development to the coastal environment, tourism, and recreation. This year, the Board of Supervisors voted to fund 16 projects for a total of $840,925. The three of interest to bicyclist are: • Atascadero Creek Bikepath bridge decking, $5000. This is to replace the worn wood planks with recycled plastic ones on the bridge just east of Patterson Road. The additional $10,000 needed for the project has been secured separately, says the County’s Wilson Hubbell. • San Jose Creek bikeway, $45,000. This is for the portion of the project within the City of Goleta south of Hollister Avenue. Goleta’s Steve Wagner says that the money will be applied to planning and a required environmental impact study. The entire bikeway will eventually run south from Cathedral Oaks and connect to the Obern Trail near Goleta Beach. • Ellwood Mesa acquisition, $368,000. This land will eventually have enhanced trails for access by people on foot, bicycle and horseback. It’s part of the 645-acre Ellwood-Devereux Open Space.
Reauthorization of the massive transportation act “TEA-21” of 1997 is the most important federal legislature for bicyclists. It provides millions of dollars for projects that benefit us and our community. Congress was unable to reach an agreement before TEA-21 expired, so they voted for an extension that runs out in February 2004. The Senate is working on a version of the bill (described in December Quick Release), and the House came up their own version in late November. So far, both are looking positive for bicycling. The House bill has these good features: • It retains the “Transportation Enhancements” program that is the best source of project funding for bicyclists. • If the bill is funded at the $375 billion requested, the Enhancements program will grow over the life of the bill. Funding would increase from $628 million in 2004 to $845 million in 2009. • Other key programs are kept: Congestion Mitigation and Scenic Byways. • A new Safe Routes to School program would be funded at $250 million a year. • It rejected inclusion of anti-railbanking language that the Administration wanted. If included, it would have made future rails-to-trails conversions unlikely. • Recreational Trails would be retained, but at $70 million instead of the $300 million of TEA-21. On the negative side, the House version has these features: • It does not include “routine accommodation” language that the Federal Highway Administration recommended in 2000, directing states to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians in highway projects. • It does not include funding to continue the Bicycle and Pedestrian Information Clearinghouse. • It does not offer bicyclists a commuter tax benefit. So where does this leave us? With a general positive but guarded feeling. The source of money to pay for it all is unresolved. As the Senate and House work out their differences, our action to preserve bicycling components may be required with short notice. We’ll be watching.
At their November 22 meeting, the Bicycle Coalition Board of Directors considered events for the upcoming Bike Week. It will take place in 2004 from May 15-23. In addition to the Children’s Festival, Bike to Work and Bike to School Days, the Board enthusiastically supported two new events: Bike Week Kick-Off. This would be on Friday, May 14. Ralph Fertig showed a video of actor, touring cyclist, and Adventure Cycling columnist Willie Weir. Weir has biked around the world and put together five shows with music, slides and high-energy stories of what happened to him and his bike. Board members approved of bringing Weir as a major feature of an evening with dinner and awards and maybe other things. You can learn about Weir at his site: www.willieweir.com. Bicycle Coalition Century ride. This would be on Saturday, May 15. Mike Hecker came up with the idea of a bike ride that would benefit the Coalition. We would need members to help plan and stage the event. The Bike Week Kick-Off event the night before could be part of a weekend package. What we need first of all is a name for it. The SB Bicycle Club wants to keep “Santa Barbara Century” for themselves. Ours could be “Tour de Santa Barbara” or “South Coast Century.” But can’t you think of something more exciting? Send us your best suggestions.

Bicycles on MTD buses Around the South Coast, we see many bikes mounted on MTD buses, but how many are there? Rachel Grossman at the MTD says that last June, 5776 bike passengers were accommodated. That’s just over 1% of all passengers on the buses.
Siple art We’ve been publishing Andy Singer cartoons for nearly two years, but have run out. So Quick Release editor Ralph Fertig contacted Greg Siple, the art director at Adventure Cycling, who has been creating whimsical cyclist doodles for years. He sent us two sheets of them for free use. And if we join the Adventure Cycling club affiliation program, we will get a continuing supply. Let us hear what you think of them.
Bikelane restriping makes biking safer
NICE NEW BIKELANE The new striping clearly shows motorists that they are crossing a bikelane when they turn right onto onto Alameda Padre Serra.
One of the worst intersections for Santa Barbara bicyclists has been vastly improved. Before, we kept to the right in a Los Olivos Street bikelane as motorists turned right onto Alameda Padre Sierra. Now, thanks to efforts by Tully Clifford, Maguire, Dan Secord, and the intersection has been restriped so right-turning motorists are aware they’re crossing a bikelane.

Upcoming bike meetings & events
Coalition proposes bikepath rest stop
January 4, Winter Cyclocross Series, sponsored by SG Productions. This race is the third of a three-race cyclocross series, now in its second year in Santa Barbara County. It takes place at Campus Pointe Industrial Park in Goleta, starting at 9:30 AM, depending on class. Details from Mike Hecker at 966-1807 or online at www.ridesb.com/2002_sb_cyclocross_series.htm.
We managed to honor early bikeway advocates Vie and George Obern by renaming the Atascadero Creek Bikeway as the “Obern Trail.” But nobody will know what it means unless they’re told. So the Bicycle Coalition’s Ralph Fertig came up with the idea of having a rest area at the junction of the Obern Trail and Maria Ygnacia bikepath, just east of Patterson Avenue.
January 6, General Meeting. Meeting the first Tuesday of the month, this time in the evening. It will be at Madam Lu Chinese Restaurant, 3524 State Street, Santa Barbara. No-host dinner at 6:00, meeting at 7:00 PM. Phone president Wilson Hubbell, 568-3046 or email him at hubbell@co.santabarbara.ca.us. January 31, The Good Old Days Road Race, sponsored by the Santa Barbara Bicycle Club. This series of races will be held near Los Olivos. The course is a mostly-flat 34 mile loop, but with three short, steep climbs. Details from Mike Hecker 966-1807 or at www.ridesb.com.
Santa Barbara City safe routes to school project is funded Congratulations to the City of Santa Barbara. They just received $450,000 from the California Safe Routes to School program. The money will mostly help kids walking to the High School and Junior High, but because it will involve traffic calming measures, it will be safer for kids biking to school as well.
Ads in Quick Release Quick Release accepts advertisements. Circulation is over 400 people. Ads are business card size, 3.5” wide x 2.0” high. Cost per ad is $18 each, or 12 consecutive ads for $180. Details and an order form are available on PDF format online at: www.sbbike.org/QR/ad.pdf.
STRETCH YOUR QUADRICEPS HERE The two bikepaths join next to the bridge over the Maria Ygnacia Creek. A fine location for a rest area could be under the large sycamore tree just east of the bridge.
Fertig envisions a stop overlooking the Maria Ygnacia Creek, with a bench, bike rack, map and sheltered sign telling about the Anza trek and the Obern story. People can enjoy views of the creek, mountains, fields, and both paths. That location is on the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail that commemorates the route followed by Anza in 1775-76 when he led soldiers and their families from Culiacan, Mexico to settle in what is now San Francisco. It’s the place where the Anza group camped for the night on their way north. Funding for the area might come from next year’s CREF budget. And, because the Anza Trail has been designated as one of 16 national Millennium Trails in the US, other funds may be available.
