Our Vision

BOARD

The Santa Barbara Bike Coalition (SB Bike) vision is that Santa Barbara will be a leader

Michael Chiacos, President Sue Carmody David Bourgeois Byron Beck Robert Caiza Carmen Lozano Hector Gonzalez Tim Burgess Courtney Dietz John Hygelund Mike Vergeer David Hodges

in creating a bicycle-friendly community and transportation system. Extensive on-road and separated bikeways, a coordinated transit system, parking, and amenities allow us to enjoy a culture where the majority of daily trips include a bicycle. As a result, our community is healthier and encourages balanced living within our resources.

Universal cycling education for all ages supports the development of safe and respectful road behaviors from both motorists and cyclists. Widespread community and political support for bicycling is in place. By 2040, because it is a cycling-centered county, Santa Barbara is both a great place to live and work and a nationally acclaimed cycling destination, boasting a year-round calendar of successful, fun, and inclusive events.

Letter from the Editor Summer is passion. It’s the boisterous, joyous, golden sibling, quick to flash its pearly grin, eager for adventure, easy to laughter. We all remember watching the hands slowly journey around the classroom wall clock, bringing us, tick by tick, ever

closer to freedom. In summer, we convened with friends, revitalized, dreamed bigger, and envisioned a future we would tuck back in and work toward come fall.

Reflecting on this and on my interactions with the

folks who make the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition the dedicated, giving, passionate organization it is, it struck me: What bands these people together, what inspires them to give of themselves and labor lovingly and enthusiastically toward making SB Bike’s vision a reality is just that—passion, not only for cycling itself but for community, for making Santa Barbara a happier, rejuvenated, safer, more sustainable place for everyone. So for this summer’s Quick Release, I asked some of SB Bike’s board members and liaisons to share their passion.

As I read the submissions, it dawned on me what is so awesome about cycling. For us cyclists, biking is all that summer is; it’s a solution, it’s freedom, it’s a gift, it’s feeling alive and grinning unabashedly, it’s community and connection—it’s passion.

Wishing each of you all the passion you can find,

FAVORITE BIKE: I have three bikes, and they’re all my favorites. My around town cargo bike gets ridden the most often—it’s definitely the workhorse.

CREATING COMMUNITY

Part of the Solution

By Michael Chiacos, SBBIKE president I love biking because it puts a smile on my face. Especially after one of those long work days with too much computer time, I love getting on my bike and peddling off, feeling the wind and sun on my face. Biking is a great pace to notice the little things in Santa Barbara—the plants that just burst into bloom, the smell of someone BBQing, the smile on a fellow biker’s face. I feel healthy and more human just by riding home.

I also like how I’m being part of the solution. I’m not using any fossil fuels or emitting any pollution.

I’m not contributing to freeway congestion. I’m getting healthier

and charged with endorphins as I ride, and I’m connecting more with my community.

I’m on SB Bike’s board because I believe more bicycling is a positive, healthy, green trend for Santa Barbara. I want to help make it easier and safer for more people to ride. I want to see more bike lanes and dedicated bike paths, more kids and more women feeling safe enough to ride. I want to bring some of the bicycle revolution that is sweeping the nation to Santa Barbara.

LET’S LEARN

A Gift

By Byron Beck

A Fleet Thanks to dedicated teachers, students at Adams Elementary

As a board member with the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition, I am very fortunate to be able to work with the students of SBBici, or the Santa Barbara High School Bike Club. There is just something very cool about working with high school students.

Over the last year of meeting at SBHS on Thursday afternoons, I have realized how much I love teaching kids about the bike and what it can do for them. I love teaching them how things work on The students of SBBici, or the Santa Barbara High School Bike Club.

School are discovering the joy of cycling. And thanks to SB Bike, they have a whole new fleet to do it with.

Last year, SB Bike, through its shop arm, Bici Centro, donated ten bikes to the school’s bike club so that, at the end of the year, participants could take home a bike they’d refurbished.

This year, SB Bike upped the ante—providing the club twentyseven bikes, including fifteen small bikes for the creation of a PE fleet for first and second graders and twelve BMX (or 24inch bikes) for fifth and sixth graders.

Louis Andaloro, expert bike mechanic and certified League Cycling Instructor often brings interesting bicycles to show the kids. He leads discussions on the kids’ cycling interests, shows them specialized bike repair tools, and demos common repairs and maintenance.

Of course, the kids also get to put their new tooling skills into practice. This past school year, after eighteen meetings,

SPANISH OUTREACH

Turning Passion into Actions

By Carmen Lozano For me, balancing on my bike is a perfect metaphor for how I handle my life—quick turn and ride through the bumps, enjoy coasting, sweat the climbs and enjoy the reward at the top, and every once in a while, just gotta slow down and stop to deal with a flat.

Volunteering for the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition is incredibly rewarding for me. Grease and tools, committee work, parking bikes, teaching a class—you name it; it all keeps me grounded, gives me focus, and allows me to turn my passion into actions that positively impact our community.

Through the multiple hats I wear at SB Bike (chair of the Spanish Language Outreach, board member, co-vice president, and above all, smiling volunteer) I have come to really be inspired by the work this amazing little nonprofit has done over the years. Our past is bright and our future brighter as we plan and envision new directions and expansion of the work we do. Grassroots and community engagement are always at the very center!

And in the “doing” is where I thrive and get reenergized by witnessing change in action. For example, a few weeks ago, I saw a little boy from a disadvantaged background earn a bike and learn to ride it in less than two hours. I was in awe for a couple of days! It was like witnessing a little miracle. Those Carmen Lozano, who hails from Guadalajara, Spain, tried biking at age thirty-five and hasn’t been able to stop riding, wrenching, and advocating for the cycling community since. File photo

moments of bringing smiles to people’s faces are priceless.

I’m proud to be part of a team that attempts to represent those who won’t make it to city hall to bring their voice and seek changes.

At the end of daylight savings each year, the Spanish Outreach committee distributes lights as part of its Iluminando la Noche (Light the Night Up) program.

There, I come into contact with an “invisible” community of riders who truly need our direct

services and advocacy support. I’m proud to be part of a team that attempts to represent those who won’t make it to city hall to bring their voice and seek changes.

If I had to sum it up, I’d say that bicycling has given me much joy, new friends, partnerships, inspiration, and lots of smiles and giggles. I’m glad I gave it a try at age thirty-five!

Creating Big Smiles

By Robert Caiza Big smiles cross my face and a sense of accomplishment fills me when I see someone on a bicycle.

I grew up in Ecuador, and when I was a kid, I got lucky to get a bicycle. My dad got me one that was way too big of a frame for my size, but consistency, patience, and many falls led me to be very fortunate to feel the air blowing in my face and the freedom of the world.

Now after seven years of living in Santa Barbara, I am surrounded by an awesome group of friends and people from the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition and Bici Centro’s bike shop, as well as the awesome bike community in town. I got to know Bici Centro’s crew six years ago. It was at the right moment and time.

Robert Caiza teaches this young Eastside Rides clinic participant the importance of signaling and riding in the lanes. John Rousseau

We shared our goals and aspirations to help out our community. I knew it! This was where I fit, and this was where I wanted to be.

Currently, I work with the Spanish Outreach Committee. And as a League of American Bicyclists Certified Instructor, I teach classes on bicycle safety in the community.

I want to keep seeing more of those smiles on the road, and I invite you to create them with me.

Eastside Rides Early this summer, SB Bike, along with the city of Santa Barbara, the Coalition for Sustainable Transportation (COAST), and Traffic Solutions, hosted its first bilingual bike event at the Franklin Neighborhood Center.

targeted families, offered a bike skills clinic, and included a neighborhood ride, was a smashing success.

The numbers were another indicator of success. Thirty-seven youth and twenty parents attended. Three kids learned to ride a bike. Ten bikes and forty-two helmets were given away by SB Bike & COAST. Participants got their bikes checked and tuned up at the “Taller Móvil” (mobile bike shop). Following was a bilingual presentation, where the families learned to drive their bikes on the streets; a raffle for free helmets, locks, lights, and youth bikes; a bike handling skills session in the parking lot; and a fun neighborhood ride led by certified League Cycling Instructors and the SB Police Department.

BICI SHOP Want to repair your bike but don’t have time to wait? The solution is easy. Reserve a work stand at Bici Centro, the coalition’s community bike shop, located at 506 E. Haley.

Over the past months, word about the DIY shop’s new home has spread, and cyclists and wrenchers have swarmed to open shop hours. To accommodate this welcome influx, SB Bike has a new program—the Member’s Stand.

A reserved stand gets you your own workspace, shop tools, and access to new and used parts. The Member’s Stand is for coalition members who have some bike repair expertise. For these stands, shop manager Shawn Von and other volunteers will be available to answer questions but will not be able to offer oneon-one assistance.

To reserve a stand, call Howard at 805/904–0230 or e-mail member@sbbike.org with the day and time you’d like to reserve at least 24 hours in advance. Look for

a confirmation e-mail. (An online reservation system is coming soon.)

Reservations must be made during regular office/open shop times: Tues. 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., Wed.–Fri. 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., and Sat. 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Cycling Can Change Our World

By David Hodges I’m passionate about the transformative power of bicycles. I’ve just returned from a long bike tour that included three great bike trails—the C & O towpath, the Great Allegheny Passage, and the Katy Trail— nearly 600 miles of nonmotorized paths that wind along woods, rivers, small towns, and big cities.

I saw beautiful communities, once consigned to a slow death after the interstate replaced the railroad, coming back to life because of a bike trail—busy cafes, new B and Bs, bike shops, and stores now vibrant for the first time in decades. I saw families and seniors, dog walkers and joggers, all different kinds of people enjoying a car-free path that ran through the edge of town, a quiet respite from the broken sidewalks and loud traffic of the streets. I’m passionate about what bicycles, and the people who ride them, can do together to change the world.

Bikes need their own place. We aren’t really meant to share the road with cars—it isn’t fair to the drivers or the cyclists. As I rode along the shoulder of highways, whether a skinny bead of asphalt or a broad band, cars would swing wide into opposing traffic lanes to pass. It didn’t make sense. It’s like riding along a runway with planes constantly landing beside you from both directions—so different from the skillet sizzle of bike tires on a trail and the silence and the bird song. We need to design our cities and the connections between them with a bike mindset. Stop trying to squeeze bikes into a car-oriented

model. We must compromise now, but that isn’t where we want to be.

Bikes are one component of a whole ethos—local agriculture, local craft and commerce, concentrated urban centers with surrounding green spaces, streets safe for children, low carbon emissions, collaborative housing, industry, and governance. The list is long and dynamic. I’m passionate about the transformative power of bicycles. Cycling is a simple, pleasurable, healthy, and efficient means of transportation that can change our world.
