County, Carpinteria and UCSB get bicyclist funding

Our CycleSmart program The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition’s CycleSmart bicyclist education program offers bicycling skills classes for school children and adults.

Look for details of upcoming classes inside Quick Release, or contact our Co-coordinators Dru van Hengel and Erika Lindemann by email CycleSmart@sbbike.org.

February 2006

This bridge on the popular Obern Trail will get replacement planks for longer life and smoother cycling.

Bicycling projects within Santa Barbara County have recently been funded. The County Supervisors voted on January 10th to award Coastal Resources Enhancement Fund (CREF) money to two bike projects in Goleta and Carpinteria. Separately, Caltran’s Bicycle Transportation Account funding went to UCSB for needed bike racks.

• Obern Trail Bridge Decking, $19,000. This will provide new 4-inch thick recycled-plastic bridge decking on the Obern Trail bridge west of Puente Drive near Hidden Oaks Golf Course.

• Carpinteria Old Town Trail, $24,500. This will pay for planning documents for a multipurpose trail that will connect Linden Avenue businesses with Carpinteria State Beach.

• UCSB Commuter Bike Parking Expansion Project, $54,450.

This will fund 500 new bike racks for the University campus.

Bike maps are back!

Out of print for a few months, we’re thankful to Traffic Solutions for printing a batch of the very popular maps. They are currently working on an updated version for release this summer, so until then, this 2000 edition will serve us nicely. If you don’t have a map, email for one from jhart@sbcag.org.

Cycling teams train in Santa Ynez Valley Two cycling teams are training in the Solvang area prior to the Tour of California.

The Discovery Team arrived in mid-January and received their new Trek bicycles. The Discovery camp was reportedly like a stage race, with riders on the road every day, performing specific tasks—and then eating, resting and recovering. Major riders are Tom Danielson, Viatcheslav Ekimov, Paolo Savoldelli, and George Hincapie.

Coming to train in California for the first time, the Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) Team or 30 riders will arrive before the Tour of California. The team includes Bobby Julich, Christian Vande Velde, and David Zabriskie.

Santa Maria to buy open space On January 17th, the Santa Maria City Council approved purchase of Las Flores Ranch, a parcel of 1778 acres. The land is an abandoned oil field currently owned by Chevron, and has deed restrictions prohibiting residential development.

The tract of land is east of Highway 101 and south of Clark Road. It is not adjacent to the City of Santa Maria, and is located across the freeway from the Orcutt area.

About 20% of the land will be used as a North County landfill, and the rest will be open space and active recreation.

Mountain bike trails, a BMX track and bikelane access from residential areas will hopefully all be part of the recreational plans. It will take years to design, fund, and construct anything, but the possibilities are totally open at this time.

Feb 24-25th: the Tour of California comes to us The Tour of California that’s coming through Santa Barbara county on February 24th-25th promises to be a world-class cycling event. The race will feature 16 international cycling teams including Discovery, TMobile, Phonak, Gerolsteiner, Healthnet, Davitamon Lotto, CSC, TIAA-CREF, KB Home Mexican National Team, and others.

The local organizing committee coordinator Barney Berglund attended our January 3rd meeting to describe the scope of this major event passing through our area. We are grateful to him for one of his five local booths to spread the word about the joys of bicycling around our County. We’ll be sharing the booth with Santa Barbara Car Free. Look for us at the health and fitness festival grounds among other booths on both the 24th and 25th. Come and enjoy the following at the festival: • Health and fitness tests.

• Fun activities inside the Kid’s Zone.

• Performances by BMX stunt riders and local entertainers.

• Bicycle safety information and bargains on gear in the Cycling Center.

• Race info and merchandise in the Central Pavilion.

• A finish line Big Screen to watch live action of the day’s race.

• And let’s not forget the food!

Aftermath of a troubling loss An outpouring of messages, condolences, tears, anger, alarm, and celebration of a sadly-lost life have come to us as a result of the death of UCSB Triathlete Kendra Payne on January 11th. Most who have visited the site where an asphalt truck ran over her fault the truck driver for failing to wait for her on the narrow section of roadway.

Questions immediately arose—what can we do to prevent further losses? What will the Highway Patrol report say? Should the California Vehicle Code be changed?

There are no clear answers. We are still awaiting the CHP report that may lead to legal action involving the driver, the truck company, the Forest Service, or others.

Changes to the Vehicle Code have been

Friends of Kendra Payne laughed and cried at the memorial service as they recalled times spent with the charismatic UCSB student.

suggested, but several experts in California bicycle law feel that upholding the existing code should be sufficient—if we insist that the police and courts apply it.

CycleSmart bicyclist education news Bicycling Skills for Women class attracts 24 students We couldn’t be more pleased with the response from our first offering of a “Bicycling Skills for Women” class. Twentyfour women participated and five others are waiting to join a future class. The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition, in conjunction with SBCAG Traffic Solutions, offered a two-day Bicycle Street Skills course designed for women on Saturday, January 21st and January 28th.

Participants learned the basics of driving a bicycle confidently, in a supportive and fun environment. This class attracted a wide gambit of bicyclists, from women who hadn’t been on their bikes for years, to those who wanted to be able to ride more confidently with their partners, and to

others who had begun to ride regularly for fitness and commuting, but lacked confidence while on the road.

There was also an enthusiastic response to learning basic bike maintenance, such as changing a flat tire and performing other simple on-road repairs.

Many thanks to our instructor Erika Lindemann and other dedicated League Cycling Instructors who helped make this class possible: Nancy Mulholland, Dru van Hengel, Hildy Hoffman and Doris Phinney. Thanks also to Kali Cowgill of Open Air Bicycles, who assisted with the bike maintenance component of the class.

Stay tuned for our next course offering in March. If you have a specific group of students you’d like the CycleSmart committee to design a class for, email us at cyclesmart@sbbike.org or call Erika Lindemann at 961-8919.

Increase in bicycling media coverage slowing Over the past 14 years, Bicycle Coalition president Ralph Fertig has clipped newspaper articles and photos that mention or show bicycling in any way. Then, each January, he has counted those where bicycling is a significant part of the published item.

The resulting analysis shows a dramatic increase in bicycling appearances for the first eight years, and a lesser increase over the recent six years. It currently represents more than one mention or photo of bicycling each day—there were 405 of them during 2005.

Out of that 405 total, 46 were letters to the editor or op/ed pieces submitted by individuals. (They are grouped together in the graph, and collectively called “Letters.”)

We’re pleased to see that 18 of those 46 bicycling letters were written by members of the Bicycle Coalition. The most prolific contributor was Ralph Fertig with seven published. Next were Eva Inbar and Diane Soini with three each. Erika Lindemann

had two published; and one from these individuals made it into print: Don Lubach, Robert Bernstein, and Curtis Ridling.

Your concern for better bicycling conditions makes our lives better. Thank you.

How to live longer Researchers involved with the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging found that while the capacity for aerobic exercise declines steadily with age, an active lifestyle can slow the process. Seniors who exercise regularly feel years younger and have a better chance of leading longer, independent lives than their sedentary peers.

Just released, the 20-year study reports on 800 healthy women and men. Dr. Jerome Fleg said, “By participating in a training program, you can raise your aerobic capacity 15%-25%, which in our study would be equivalent to being 10-20 years younger.”

Freeland includes cycling in lifestyle

by Ralph Fertig

Kenneth and Jill Freeland are people of action. On a Friday five years ago they decided to escape Los Angeles with their lives and move up the coast to Santa Barbara.

The following Wednesday they bought a house in their new home town. They sought a place to pursue an active lifestyle, raise a family, and enhance their quality of life.

Kenneth at the Sea Center with one of his commuting bikes, here a Schwinn Heavy Duti bike with dual top tubes and stainless fenders.

Los Angeles loss has been our gain. Kenneth is now operations manager for the Ty Warner Sea Center located on Stearns Wharf. He is an avid long-distance cyclist and trail runner. His wife Jill works for the nonprofit Easter Seals organization. They have two children in local schools.

Kenneth first came to our attention when he phoned us in late December seeking ideas about encouraging fellow workers to bike to work at the Sea Center or its parent organization, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. He had already arranged to have the Museum give a $50 reward each month to an employee who walks, bikes or buses to work. I put him in touch with Traffic Solutions’ Erika Lindemann who can offer employees the information they need to choose sustainable transportation over single-occupancy automobiles. If Cottage Hospital can sponsor a Street Skills class for cyclists, perhaps the Museum— dedicated to the understanding of our endangered natural world—can as well.

With graduate degrees in anthropology and law, and a few years of legal work behind him, Kenneth is aware of the need to balance our lives and our world. Biking to work treads lightly on our planet’s threatened ecosystem, and Kenneth is working hard to help us all share the responsibility.

SLO bike commuter contest winners Our neighbor Bicycle Coalition to the north in San Luis Obispo recently held a “Why Bike to Work?” contest for people to tell why they commute to work (or school) by bicycle. Their contest brought in 21 entries, 5 winners and 16 others, all of which are posted on their web site at: http://slobikelane.org/essaywinners.htm.

The contest is essentially the same that we conducted in 2000 and 2002, with results from our enthusiastic Santa Barbara area bicyclists. If you need inspiration beyond what SLO offers, read our 40 entries as well at: www.sbbike.org/commute/commute.html.

Brummer is lauded Tim Brummer, owner of Lightning Cycle Dynamics in Lompoc, was cited by columnist John Schubert in a recent issue of Adventure Cycling magazine. It describes innovations introduced at the Interbike trade show last September: “Recumbent genius Tim Brummer has made the world’s lightest racing crankset, by a hefty four-ounce margin, by integrating each crankarm with its half of the spindle. The two spindle halves join inside the bottom bracket.”
