County presence at DC Bike Summit by Ralph Fertig
“Time me,” Representative Lois Capps said as she strode out of her office, “I’m going to vote.” A group of us waiting for our upcoming meeting with her watched as she rushed down the Longworth House Office Building corridor. Fifteen minutes later, she returned from voting, and eight of us were ushered into her office where we asked her to support national bicycling measures. Because of outside support, four of us representing Santa Barbara County—Erika Lindemann, Chris Orr, Ralph Fertig, and Bob Zimels—were able to attend the Washington DC Bike Summit on March 13-16th. We are all grateful for the help from our Bi- For whatever reason, there are few outside bike racks around the capitol, but this one is located outside the Supreme Court building. cycle Coalition, Goleta Valley Cycling Club, and the International Mountain Bicycling Associato us.

Thirty US cities are considering “congestion pricing” where rush-hour fees are assessed. This has been successfully deployed in London, Singapore, Stockholm, and elewhere. It reduces pollution and congestion, while increasing bicycling, walking, and transit.
Gasoline prices are rising, there’s a new political perspective in Congress, climate change is high on their agenda, obesity is increasingly a concern, and bicycling is now being advanced as a solution for all those challenges. We will be working with Congress to promote it as such.
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 .

“Coasting” bikes test market appeal
Buellton BMX track & athletic fields nixed
For the past five years, bicycle component manufacturer Shimano has reversed its usual approach to selling its wares. Previously, they made prodThe new Trek “Lime” bike uses ucts, then Coaster components. sold them to people who bicycle. This time, they sought out adult non-bicyclists to determine why they don’t bike. There are 150 million adult Americans, most of whom have positive memories of biking as kids, and would like to rediscover that experience. The study showed that they don’t want a competitive sport, new technology, danger, confusing accessories, or an exercise machine. They just want to ride, to escape with friends on a safe path or trail. Plus, for those who haven’t biked since childhood, the experience of going into a bike shop is intimidating and confusing. The result of this research is Shimano’s new “Coasting” component set. New bikes using the components are being manufactured by Raleigh, Giant and Trek. Last month, a promotion effort for the bikes began in 15 pilot areas, including San Diego, Orange County, and San Francisco. How are the bikes different? They have internal, microchip-controlled, automatic 3speed shifting and coaster brakes (pedal backwards to stop). When there’s a flat or mechanical problem, what then? Simple— the tool kit is a cell phone. Are we ready for these new bicyclists? Maybe not. Riders will be looking for quiet bikepaths or calm streets where they feel safe. They may seek others to ride with, but most bike clubs are for racing or long rides, not casual social cruises. Our CycleSmart classes might even be too technical. At the Bike Summit, Kozo Shimano, grandson of Shimano’s founder, talked about the increasing need for safer places to ride. Their website www.coasting.com lists rides and information for new bicyclists. Energy is building to return adults to bicycling—how can we best welcome them home?
The County Planning Commission, faced with outspoken opposition to a proposed 23acre sports complex, rejected the plan on March 7th. The Santa Ynez Valley Youth Sports Foundation that proposed the project near Buellton, has been seeking a location for 15 years for soccer, baseball, and football fields. It was understood that once approved, a BMX track could be added to the complex, although it wasn’t in the formal proposal. Foundation president Stu Gilred lamented the opposition from agricultural interests, saying that any other location will meet identical rejection. Everybody expressed favor for athletic fields, just not in any location near their current agricultural land.

Abandoned bikes clutter UCSB racks
Coalition’s bike skills class another success
Class participants prepare to take their steeds out on the road on March 3rd.
On March 1st and 3rd, our Bicycle Coalition offered another of our bicycling skills classes. This was another for women, dealing with women-specific issues like bikes and clothing. Like earlier classes, it was a great success, with 12 signed up. Erika Lindemann ably taught the 2-day class. One day classroom, the second on bikes. Watch for our next class in May.
California Complete Streets Act
Too often on campus, existing bike racks are so full that students have to risk fines and impound by parking elsewhere.
UCSB’s Associated Students BIKES committee recently surveyed the campus bike rack situation in an attempt to identify abandoned bicycles. They surveyed 39 main bike parking areas on a Sunday when, with no classes, few students would be around and those bikes in the racks would closely approximate the number that were abandoned. Overall they found that 46% of available bike slots were occupied. In a few instances, all bike parking was taken, or even overflowing onto adjacent areas. The AS BIKES committee is working with the student-staffed Community Service Organization (CSO) over spring break to tag bicycles that may be abandoned in preparation to remove them. That way, additional spaces for parking current students’ bicycles will become available. Everybody will be happier.
On February 23, San Francisco Assemblymember Mark Leno introduced AB 1358, the California Complete Streets Act of 2007. It’s possibly the most sweeping and importatnt piece of legislation for California bicyclists ever introduced. AB 1358 will ensure that the transportation plans of California communities meet the needs of all users of the roadways and streets. That means including the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, motorists, children, the elderly, and the disabled. Taking effect in 2009, it will require all California cities and counties, whenever they update their General Plans, to fully consider accommodation of all road users. We helped add a Complete Streets clause in the Measure D renewal for our County last fall, but it was sadly defeated. There will be some opposition to the bill. We will be watching it and taking action as needed. What you can do individually now is to write a letter of support to Assemblymember Leno. There’s a sample letter that you can use as a basis on the California Bicycle Coalition’s site at www.calbike.org.
Coalition helps host Amgen Tour of California The Amgen Tour of California breezed through Santa Barbara County on February 23rd and 24th, thrilling cycling fans and providing us with an opportunity to engage and educate our community. The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition was actively involved with both the Solvang time trial and the Santa Barbarato-Santa Clarita stage start. We had a booth that we shared with Santa Barbara Car Free at both locations. Overall we distributed nearly 500 copies of the Santa Barbara County Bike Map, bicycle safety booklets, bumper stickers saying My other car is a bicycle, copies of Quick Release, Bicycle Coalition membership forms, Bring Your Bike on Amtrak CaliAbout 15 kids took advantage of Safetyville prior to the fornia brochures, and more. stage start in Santa Barbara.

It clearly demonstrated that cycling in America is more popular than ever. Locally, it was estimated that our two Tour stages brought in $1.2 million in visitor revenue to businesses in Santa Barbara County. Everything went well in both cities. The two Local Organizing Committees were elated with the results. Here are some comments that we gathered: “Had a good time. Would love it to end in town. Great event! RAD! Fans are fantastic. Great—kids race is very fun. Keep in SB.” We certainly applaud the Tour and the awareness that it brings to our County. How about 2008? Bring it back! Oh yes, Californian Levi Leipheimer won the Tour. A Team BMC cyclist poses with a future bicyclist.
Bike to School Day sponsorship request by Debbie Castanha
COAST (Coalition for Sustainable Transportation) and its Safe Routes to School program are seeking a partner to help with the upcoming “Bike to School Day” on May 15th. What could be greater than encouraging school children to ride bikes to school? We’re looking for someone willing to donate $1,500 so that we can purchase small prizes, healthy snacks and promotional materials for participating schools on the South Coast. We’d love to include your or your company’s name as the sponsor on all promotional materials and news releases. This truly is a fun, worthwhile and easy way to help kids in our community see how much fun cycling can be. Our goal is that they’ll have so much fun, they’ll do it over and over again! Perhaps an organization you belong to or a friend who is an advocate for safety and/ or cycling would consider becoming a sponsor for a fairly modest sum. Please contact me at 687-0011 or e-mail Debbie@coastsantabarbara.org with any questions about sponsoring Bike to School Day, or to schedule a presentation about the Safe Routes to School program in general. For more information about our activities, please visit our website: www.coast-santabarbara.org. COAST and our Safe Routes to School thank you for your consideration!
A cycling magnet During the Amgen Tour of California stage in Solvang, the Santa Ynez Valley and Solvang visitor centers passed out over 500 flyers to cyclists. It promoted the area with reasons to bicycle there, contained quotes from Lance Armstrong, David Zabriskie and Ray Ford. It had a list of resources (including our www.sbbike.org website), and upcoming local bicycling events. Most interesting were reasons why professional teams choose the Valley:
Varied terrain, from gentle rolling hills to steep mountain climbs
Uncrowded, picturesque country roads
Bike friendly drivers who share the road
Sunny, mild climate with clean air
Incredible scenic views as you pedal past vineyards on our quiet rural roads
Great rides for beginners, serious cyclists, and families, as well as professionals.

Notes on the national Bike Summit 2007 by Chris Orr
Newly appointed as a regional International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) Representative, I traveled to Washington DC to advocate for bicycles with local Bicycle Coalition members and 447 other bike advocates. Bicycle transportation issues and bicycle trail access issues are not so different. Nationwide parallels include difficulties in having the bicycle recognized as a valid form of transportation, difficulties in building, including, or modifying bicycle infrastructures, and difficulties in developing local, state, and federal funding for bicycle infrastructure. Through a series of lectures and speeches by advocates, city mayors, and a former Secretary of the Department of Transportation, summit attendees learned how to address bicycle issues, dress appropriately—sans spandex—and then speak with congressional senate and house representatives (or their staff). It was very heartening to have our state representatives listen to our bicycle transportation issues, give positive feedback, and have them comment that our group was one of the best organized and well spoken to come through their offices.
