Walk & Roll comes to South Coast kids Our Bicycle Coalition is teaming with COAST, the Community Environmental Council and six local government agencies to encourage kids to get to school by bike, foot, bus or carpool. There’s a new website www.walk-roll.org with information about different ways to get to school.

There are already “Walk & Roll to School Challenges” at Cold Spring and Brandon elementary schools, plus La Cumbre Junior High. Classes compete against one another. Parents and teachers at other schools are urged to encourage kids to use alternatives to being chauffeured, and to work with school administrators in organizing programs. “Walking school buses” where parents walk with a group of students, or “Bicycle trains” where they do the same by bike, can be done on an individual or Eight thousand of flyers like this, in Spanish and group basis.

Meeting will host Caltrans, Goleta and Carpinteria Don’t miss our monthly meeting on September 1st in downtown Santa Barbara. We’re pleased to have guests who will be discussing bicycling opportunities and projects in Santa Barbara County.

Caltrans new District 5 bicycle/pedestrian person, Adam Fukushima, will be coming down from San Luis Obispo to describe his views and learn about our bicycling needs. He is the past Director of the San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition, so intimately knows what bicycling people need.

Rosemarie Gaglione, Jorge Aguilar, and Gerald Comati will return to discuss the Goleta project to replace the Los Carneros Road bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad. It entails safe methods for

bicyclists heading north to contend with southbound Highway 101 onramp traffic. This is a followup to their meeting with us in March 2008. We’re interested to hear what they have this time.

To balance out the South Coast, we’re going to hear from Matt Roberts, the Parks and Recreation Director for Carpinteria. His vision is to have an off-road trail between Santa Claus Lane and Rincon County Park. Parts of that exist, and he will talk about the missing links. In addition, other bikefriendly paths are being designed or conceived.

That’s all in addition to other exciting events and opportunities on the agenda. Watch our email list for details, and join us on September 1st.

Baron Corpuz, owner of the Bike Stand shop, stands next to racks of bike components and accessories.

We were saddened when Baron and Cecile Corpuz left Santa Barbara and took their Café de Velo to Santa Paula two years ago. Actually, they continued to live in Santa Barbara, however commuted 50 miles to work.

The good news is that they just opened a new shop back in our county. It’s called “Bike Stand” and it’s located at 1313 State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, just back the paseo from McDonalds. The place is tiny, but stuffed to the ceiling with bikes, parts, and accessories. According to Baron, the shop is specializing in fixed-gear bikes assembled almost entirely from their warehouse of classic parts that they have been importing from Europe for years. Check it out.

Wet Willy Sez Dear Wet Willy: There seems to be a lot of chatter about fatter bike tires being faster and more comfortable than skinny tires.

I can understand more comfortable, but faster does not sound right. What do you think? — Johnnie F. Dear Johnnie F: Well, recent tests on identical road bikes have shown that slightly fatter tires (like 26 to 28mm) can be more comfortable and faster (in other words, easier to propel) than skinny tires (20 to 25mm) of the same type from the same tire manufacturer. In a nutshell, the difference in performance has to do with the weight of the rider/bicycle and the resulting deformation of the tire on the roadway. Wider tires have a wider and shorter contact patch on the road, thus requiring less deformation as the wheel rotates.

This slightly wider tire phenomenon is not news to bikies who have experience Quick Release ~ September 2009 ~ Page 2

with tubulars (sew-ups). Most good road tubulars measure in the 25mm range and some from the old days, like the Clement Paris-Roubaix or Clement Campionato del Mundo, measured about 30mm.

In general, there is not much difference in weight between skinny tires and slightly wider tires of the same type from the same manufacturer, so it can make sense to go with a wider tire for comfort and performance. You can usually fit the same inner tubes too. They stretch!

Nowadays, Wet Willy mostly rides 28 mm or 32 mm Panaracer Pasela Tourguard tires.

Although the weight difference between a 28 and 32 is less than an ounce, the 32mm can be an awkward fit for some modern road bikes.

“Wet Willy” is an advice column authored by Coalition Vice President Wilson Hubbell. Please submit any questions you have about cycling issues to him at wilsonhubbell@aol.com.

Greg LeMond leads Montecito ride

Greg LeMond, left, stands with long-time Goleta cyclist Bob Zimels.

In 1986, Greg LeMond was the first American to win the Tour de France. After that, he went on to recover from a life-threatening injury and win it two more times in 1989 and 1990. So it was exciting for many when he led a ride in Montecito on August 8th.

Called “Le Tour de Montecito,” the 50mile ride attracted 75 cyclists who raised money for the nonprofit “1in6,” an organization that supports men who’ve had unwanted or abusive sexual experiences, including LeMond who has been dealing with his own abuse issues.

Goleta cyclist Bob Zimels wore his Z team jersey to the ride because he knew that LeMond had raced for them 1990-1992.

Zimels wrote, “After the ride, Greg chatted about cycling, cross-country skiing and fame. What a terrific, down to earth guy!”

Sign up now for October’s Aeolian Ride Our Bicycle Coalition is teaming with Santa Barbara’s Contemporary Arts Forum and WheelHouse to bring the “Aeolian Ride” to town on October 1st.

The ride that has taken place in Tokyo, Halifax, Melbourne, San Francisco, Milan, Cape Town and elsewhere, is now coming to Santa Barbara. Conceived and crafted by New York artist Jessica Findley (and discovered by our Board member Don Lubach), the ride is, as she writes, “Inspired by a love for bikes, city cruising, critical mass, costumes, sillyness plus things that inflate.”

The word “Aeolian” refers to the Greek god Aeolus, the keeper of the winds. Findley says, “It excites those riding as well as delights those watching, all the while transforming the landscape into a playground of windfilled shapes.”

white nylon suits that inflate while riding.

The route and starting time are still being finalized, but it will probably pass along the waterfront and start between 4:00 and 5:00 PM. You have to register to be one of the riders or course assistants; so go to this site before it’s filled up: www.aeolian-ride.info.

Coalition supports Santa Maria safety The sad loss of two bicyclists in Santa Maria in the past four months has led to a campaign to increase motorists’ awareness of people on bicycles.

Last May 14th, 59year old Paul Sladek died of a heart attack while biking away from a mad motorist who was chasing him.

Sladek chose to be car-free; he depended on bicycling to get around. His sister requested that instead of flowers, donations be made to our Bicycle Coalition to help improve relations between motorists and bicyclists in Santa Maria.

While we were considering how to proceed with the contributions, 19-year old Eric

Okerblom was hit from behind and killed on July 25th while biking on Telephone Road east of Orcutt.

We contacted Nancy Jo Ward and Rick Sweet in Santa Maria just as they were considering a safety campaign. The result has been a collaboration, using a 3-color window sticker design

by Ward shown here. She has solicited contributions from Team Tailwinds, Cycle Star and Main Street Cycles, that together with our funding, will purchase 500 stickers to be distributed in the Santa Maria and Orcutt areas. They won’t bring Sladek and Okerblom back, but will hopefully save injuries and lives of others.

August Coalition meeting topics Our August 4th monthly Bicycle Coalition meeting was held at noon in Downtown Santa Barbara, with 17 participants talking about these topics: Christine Bourgeois described the Walk & Roll school program. Eight thousand flyers have been printed and sent to South Coast parents, encouraging biking and walking.

mittee of the Bicycle Ambassador program is considering what their scope might be.

Ralph Fertig and Matt Dobberteen described the recent bike fatality near Orcutt. We’re waiting for the police report to come out.

Calif manual to drop bike section Caltrans’ Highway Design Manual is the bible for planners of California’s transportation facilities. It currently contains Chapter 1000 that deals exclusively with bikeway design, but that will likely be eliminated in the near future. Alarming as that sounds, it’s actually to our benefit.

What is spurring change is the passage of California’s AB 1358, the Complete Streets act that goes into effect in January 2011.

The state Office of Planning and Research is currently working on implementing complete streets policies where all users of our roads—motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, children, seniors, the handicapped, bus patrons—will have safe conditions for travel.

They are planning to spread bike policies throughout the manual, and in addition, create a complete streets document that addresses “level of service” that now only considers the convenience and safety of motorists. Life is getting better all the time.

John Zant chooses bike for fitness

by Ralph Fertig

Anybody watching or participating in local sports in Santa Barbara knows John Zant. Now a sports writer for the Independent, he previously served for 38 years covering local sports for the NewsPress.

Like many young men in the middle 1900s, John worked delivering newspapers by bike. For him, it was the afternoon Los Angeles HeraldExpress in his La Cañada Flintridge neighborhood. He was active in high school track and football. Then, at UCSB he majored in anthropology, and his work writing for the yearbook led to a job at the News-Press after graduation.

These days, John has given up running because of knee problems, but finds the bike perfect for keeping fit with its low-impact activity. He gets in rides most days, usually on errands or work, but also for the fun of pedaling all over the South Coast. His current steed is a fine Japanese-made Centurian road bike that he bought used for $50.

His message to others is that bicyclists should not feel marginalized, that we are not alone. Each of us should talk to others and encourage them to enjoy what we already know is a responsible and sensible means of travel. And did we mention it’s fun?

Cyclists find safety in numbers In a comparison of cycle use and safety in English cities, a recent CTC study found new evidence that cycling is safer the more cyclists there are. Places with high cycle use—York, Hull, and Cambridgeshire—are the safest places to ride. In London there’s been a 91% increase in cycle use since 2000, along with a 33% reduction in the number of cyclist casualties. www.ctc.org.uk.
