Santa Barbara City receives Bicycle-Friendly honorOn August 12, Santa Barbara’s Mayor Marty Blum and theCity Council received an award for being one of the eightmost “bicycle-friendly” cities in the US. The award, consist-ing of a certificate and large sign, were presented by theLeague of American Bicyclists’ Andy Clarke, their Directorof State and Local Advocacy.

The awards have four tiers called platinum, gold, silverand bronze. We share the silver category with five other cit-ies, while two—Palo Alto and Corvallis—are ahead of us atthe gold level. Nobody attained the platinum level, so we allhave room to improve bicycling and move up the scale.

Mayor Blum met with Andy Clarke the following morningbefore he flew back home. Clarke found the meeting benefi-cial and commented, “We discussed some ideas for gettingher colleagues in the US Conference of Mayors and NationalLeague of Cities interested in bicycling issues, and that wasquite productive.”

Dru van Hengle, the City’s mobility coordinator said thatthey hadn’t yet decided where to put the sign. Contact herif you have ideas.

Mayor Marty Blum receives the Bicycle-FriendlyCommunity award from Andy Clarke.

Coalition calls for “The Obern Trail”Everybody on the County’s South Coast knows and loves whatdoesn’t have a name, but is commonly called the “AtascaderoCreek Bikepath.” Few of us, however, know its history. We hopeto correct that by applying an appropriate name to the path inhonor of two individuals—and Bicycle Coalition members—whoworked tirelessly to bring it into existence: George & Vie Obern.

On August 20, the Bicycle Coalition sent letters to Susan Rose,Supervisor of the Third District where the path runs, and to RuthSchuyler, Chair of the Santa Barbara County Riding and HikingAdvisory Committee, asking them to name it The Obern Trail.

We wrote, “Today this trail is a significant benefit to the com-munity and stands as a monument to all those who struggled tosee its completion, particularly George and Vie. We request thatthe County take those steps necessary to name the trail The ObernTrail and place appropriate signage to designate it accordingly.”

We couldn’t think of a nicer honor for two outstanding people.

Vie and George Obern rode their tandemto the 2001 Goleta Lemon Festival.

Coalition at the crossroads: what’s next?The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition has been improv-ing conditions for people who bicycle within ourCounty for nearly 14 years. We are now faced withnew opportunities that we can seize and move aheadwith…or not. Three possibilities have come into fo-cus in the past few months:• Santa Barbara Bikestation programs• A Community Cycling Center modeled after

Portland’s successful program• A bicycling education program.

All three are challenges, but reflect communityneeds and opportunities that the Bicycle Coalitionalone or along with other individuals or groupsshould seriously consider. For details about theBikestation, come to our next two meetings whenwe’ll hear more and be able to offer suggestions.Come to our October meeting to hear Joshua Patlak’simpressions about the CCC in Portland. As for bicy-clist education, if the Bicycle Coalition fails to doanything soon, others are waiting to take it over.

Quick Release • September 2003 •

August meeting topicsOur August 5th Bicycle Coalition meeting wasanother successful occasion. It included thesetopics:• The County has hired Matt Dobberteen as

the new Alternative Transportation Manager.• John Asuncion from SBCAG requested our

ideas for bikeway projects for a StateTransportation Improvement Project list.

• Mike Hecker announced that his new 5-event Nitecross mountain bike race serieswill start in Goleta on August 5th.

• Ralph Fertig will attend the Walk/BikeCalifornia conference in Oakland thisOctober; others should attend if possible.

• Our Member Appreciation BBQ is set forAugust 10. Ralph Fertig and ErikaLindemann are coordinating, Mike Hecker isreminding members by phone.

• Programs for the upcoming Santa BarbaraBikestation will be considered at our Septand Oct meetings.

• The Coalition voted to write letters toRepresentatives Capps and Gallegly aboutthe possible loss of bikeway funds throughTransportation Enhancements.

• We’ll have a booth and maybe bike parkingat the Goleta Lemon Festival this October(Christine Le Bon from the Festival sent usdelicious lemon bars as a treat).

• Increasing interest in safe biking classesraises the question of who, if anybody, willcoordinate the program. Should theCoalition assume responsibility?

• Ideas for a Bike Week kick-off event werediscussed. Ralph Fertig wants to bringtouring cyclist Willie Weir to Santa Barbarafor the event.

Handlingintersections

Word from the PresidentAll too oftencyclists locatethemselves inthe wrongplace whenencounteringa stop lightat an inter-section. Hereare somethings to re-member:

Don’t un-necessarily block right turning traffic. Thistypically happens when a cyclist travelingthrough an intersection stops for a red lightin the middle of a right-turn-lane, thus block-ing right turning traffic. When you come to ared light at an intersection and you are con-tinuing straight ahead, place yourself in thethrough lane and not in the right-turn-lanewhile you wait for the green light. Also beaware that some local governments have mis-takenly striped bikelanes for through biketraffic in right-turn-only lanes. If you encoun-ter these please feel free to contact your localelected officials and direct their attention tothem.

Watch out for the “flat tire triangle”. Therecan be triangular shaped spaces of asphalt atthe corners of intersections where right turn-ing traffic and through traffic will not brushaway the debris that accumulates on the road-way. You can usually see these spaces as youcross an intersection and it is best to avoidthem if you can. Broken glass and other tirehazards tend to lurk in these spaces.

You don’t need to get out in the middle ofan intersection in order to turn left. Whentraffic gets heavy and you want to turn left,just pass through the intersection and wait onthe other side (but not in the right turn lane).When the light changes to green for crosstraffic, you ride along with it.

Wear a rearview mirror. Knowing what isgoing on behind you can be critical at inter-sections, particularly where motorists havethe option of turning or continuing straightahead from the lane closest to the curb. A rearview mirror can help you spot turn signals andother “intention movements” without havingto turn your head away from the action in theintersection.

Enjoy the ride!

Wilson Hubbell, President.

Ellwood-DevereuxEIRs to start

The process of writing three EnvironmentalImpact Reports (EIRs) about proposed con-struction and physical changes to the EllwoodDevereux Open Space is about to begin. A pub-lic meeting on August 13, held to solicit com-ments about what to include in the EIRs, wasattended by 100 people who voiced concerns.

Three different entities are proposing housingwithin the large undeveloped coastal space:the University of California Santa Barbara, theCity of Goleta, and Santa Barbara County.UCSB proposes 207-to-236 units of facultyhousing south of Canon Green condominiums(shown above), and 84-to-151 units of studenthousing along Storke Road. Goleta is propos-ing 78 residences built by Comstock Homesalong Hollister Avenue. And the County isproposing 32 homes and 22 apartment unitson part of Ocean Meadows Golf Course. Alto-gether, these would occupy about 80 acres outof the Open Space total of 665 acres.

Of concern to bicyclists are paths for com-muting and recreation. Professor HarryNelson pointed out that a third of faculty liv-ing in West campus housing now bike toUCSB, and those who will reside in the newNorth Campus Faculty Housing will also bike ifconditions are as favorable. More than oneperson asked for improvements on the unsafebicycling conditions on Slough Road east ofDevereux Slough because of narrow lanes,rough roadway, and speeding motorists.

Comments about what the three EIRs—scheduled for release for review in January2004—should consider will be accepted untilSeptember 4th. They can be submitted onlineat this location:www.ellwood-devereux.org/feedback.asp

On a separate preparation schedule is theOpen Space Plan, a draft of which will be re-leased for public review in late October.

Proposed UCSB faculty housing includes a bikepath connecting Phelps Road with Ellwood area.

CCC report at OctoberCoalition meeting

League Certified Instructor Joshua Patlak,Board member Dru van Hengel's husband, re-cently visited the Community Cycling Centerin Portland, Oregon, as part of a whirlwindtour of the area that included soccer tourna-ments and visits with his sister and youngestnephew, Orion.

He found the center to be vast in scope.Not only is this a place to recycle bicycles, butalso a venue where relationships are born, re-cycled art created, and job skills honed. Ahigh level of local enthusiasm for the centerbecame evident only minutes after the visitbegan. The place was hopping! Executive Di-rector Daniel Boehm graciously hosted a tourwhich impressed Joshua. He commented, “theoperation is huge.”

Joshua will present his findings at the Oc-tober evening Coalition meeting.


by Erika LindemannSanta Barbara City employees will now havean easier time getting around downtownSanta Barbara, thanks to a new purchase of afleet of 10 town bicycles, which are availablein bike lockers throughout the city. The bikescan be checked out by any City employee whoneeds to take a work-related trip that iswithin bicycling distance. The bikes were pur-chased to encourage use of alternative trans-portation while at work, thereby avoiding un-necessary use of the City’s fleet of motor ve-hicles. The bicycles encourage the use of alter-native transportation for the commute to andfrom work, since employees who took the bus,walked or carpooled to work can have accessto a bicycle for lunch or other approved trips.

Dru van Hengel, the City’s Mobility Coordi-nator, chose a fleet of Breezer Bicycles be-cause the bikes are designed with everydaytransportation in mind. They are all equippedwith bike racks, kickstands, baskets and agenerator light that stores enough energy tostay illuminated even when the bicycles arestopped at a traffic light. Fenders and chainguards keep dirt and water away from workclothes and the bikes come in a variety ofsizes for added safety and comfort.

In cooperation with Traffic Solutions, two-hour basic street skills classes are being of-

Safe Routes to SchoolOn August 12, over 20 individuals and organi-zations interested in fostering safer travel bybike and foot to schools met. Bicycle Coalitionboard members Dru van Hengel, Ralph Fertig,and Wilson Hubbell participated in the meet-ing organized by Jessica Scheeter from COAST,the Coalition for Sustainable Transportation.

The South Coast’s Safe Routes to Schoolprogram was started when the Bicycle Coali-tion was awarded funding from the CaliforniaDepartment of Health Services in October2000. Subsequent stakeholder workshopsidentified areas of concerns and existing barri-ers. The money helped selected schools withbicycle rodeos, incentive programs, helmetdistribution and Bike to School days. Lastsummer, COAST became the umbrella organiza-tion for the program.

Future actions include mobility surveys ofstudent travel, “bike trains” where kids areled by an adult to school, expanded Bike toSchool Days, on-site bike safety training, inte-gration of travel by bike and foot into every-day school curricula, mapping safe routesaround schools, parent education about healthbenefits of exercise, and expansion of the pro-gram into Carpinteria and the North County.

fered to all interested employees to ensurethat users of the bicycles will know how toride safely and effectively on the streets ofdowntown Santa Barbara and beyond. Classattendees will not only gain invaluable streetskills but will also be given a free helmet forattending! For more information, please con-tact Dru van Hengel at 564-5544 [email protected].

Santa Barbara’s new “town bikes”

Erika Lindemann, center, teaches Cityemployees how to safely bike around town.

Coalition asks forrestoration of

“Enhancements”Since it was established in 1991, the Transpor-tation Enhancements program has helped fund36 projects within Santa Barbara county. Ithas funded projects for bikeways, pedestriansidewalks, bike/ped bridges, wetlands restora-tion, roadway landscaping, historical site res-toration, and trails. Without the Federal fund-ing, very popular projects that benefit bicy-clists more than anybody else may have neverbeen planned or completed.

The Bicycle Coalition sent letters to ourRepresentatives Lois Capps and EltonGallegly asking them to restore the Transpor-tation Enhancements program to the 2004budget. In July, the House AppropriationsCommittee deleted the $620 million Transpor-tation Enhancements from the $33.8 billiontransportation bill. However, the full Houseand the Senate have yet to vote on the bill.

We wrote, “The Enhancements program hasbeen cited as one of the most successful na-tional transportation programs because it sup-ports thousands of smaller, popular projects incommunities throughout our nation. Pleasehelp restore Transportation Enhancements tothe 2004 appropriations bill. Our county, ourstate, and our country will all be better off.”

We’ll be closely watching what happens inCongress this fall, and supporting our inter-ests as it’s necessary.Survey shows 27%

Americans bicycleA large national survey showed that 27%adults bicycled at least once a month duringthe 2002 summer. The survey showed thatmales bicycle more (34%), as did those 16-24years old (39%), and Hispanics (29%).

An estimated 91 million bicycling tripswere made last summer. The average leg of atrip was 3.9 miles long. While much is made ofthe US Census data on trips to work whereonly 0.4% are done nationally by bicycle, itturns out that very few bicycle trips are towork or school. Here’s why people bicycle:

26% Recreation24% Health or exercise14% Heading home14% Personal errands10% Visit friend or relative5% Commute to work or school2% Bicycle ride5% Other trip reason.

When asked how satisfied they were, 47% re-ported need for improvements. Mostly theywanted more bicycle trails, paths, lanes, racks,traffic signals, lighting or crosswalks.

The survey was conducted by the Gallup Or-ganization by phoning 9,616 people.

World's first bicycle?Japanese engineers and archaeologists havereconstructed what appears to have been theworld’s first bicycle—in 1732 Japan! That’s130 years before European bicycles!

A former bicycle company technical advisorworked with a professor of industrial archeol-ogy to analyze preserved drawings from lordKuheiji Hiraishi (1696-1771). They recreatedwhat was described as a “newly-developed,boat-style ground vehicle.”

The vehicle has a wooden body, a singlefront wheel and two rear wheels. The pedalsare connected to a disk that resembles a fly-wheel with an iron rod similar to a crankshaft.

The pedal structure is identical to that of bi-cycles. They were apparently built and used inthe Edo (Tokyo) area, however the idea didnot spread through Japan because most of therural roads at the time were too rough. Riderscould reportedly pedal along at 8 MPH.

This is a scale model constructedfrom Japanese drawings dated 1732.

UCSB path closuredraws objections

For three weeks ending on 9/11, UCSB willclose part of the Coast Route through campus.A detour is planned, but it requires walkingyour bicycle for three minutes over 1100 feetof wide campus sidewalk.

The closure is for bikepath reconfiguration aspart of the Engineering Science Buildingproject. The university says that bicyclistswho don’t walk their bikes are subject to fines.

One UCSB worker complained, “If the Uni-versity takes away the bikepath I use everyday for commuting…the university should setup an alternative route. Campus is emptythese days, I can't imagine bicyclists on the socalled “sidewalk” being more dangerous thanthe usual team of skateboarders.”

Another commuter added, “I don't see anyreason why part of the very wide walkway inthe detour area could not be designated as analternative bike path. It seems to me thatUCSB, of all places, should be encouragingpeople to bike to campus. Certainly this can-not be achieved by prohibiting the riding ofbikes through campus, which this ‘detour’basically does.”

Keep in mind that campus planners initiallywanted to close the path for the entire periodof construction for the Engineering Sciencebuilding. They have thankfully reduced clo-sure to the minimum. Nevertheless, it seemsthat some way to accommodate both bicyclistsand pedestrians on the sidewalk is possible.

This existing bikepath detour will be closed forthree weeks for construction.

101 IP updatePresentations were given, the public spoke,and the Association of Governments (SBCAG)board members expressed their views aboutreducing highway congestion. However, afterthree hours, no agreement was reached onwhether or not to proceed with the Highway101 Implementation Plan (101 IP). So actionwill be delayed for at least a month.

The 101 IP is important to bicyclists be-cause without the $1.5 million long-rangestudy, Highway 101 will be widened betweenSanta Barbara and the Ventura County linewithout consideration of alternatives that maybe more cost-effective in moving people andgoods. With the 101 IP, we’ll have a seat atthe table when people discuss transportation;otherwise, we’ll be sitting in the parking lot.

Bicycle Coalition VP Ralph Fertig spoke infavor of the 101 IP at the August 21 SBCAGBoard meeting. He said, “While nobody be-lieves that more bicycling will solve trafficcongestion along sections of Highway 101 andnearby streets, we do know that there’s nomagic bullet—no single action—that will. Wealso know that we need an effort toward con-sensus involving all community members tocome up with an acceptable long-range planof measures. Otherwise, opposition to oneproject or another from different groups willresult in years of delay—or ultimate defeat ofthat project.”

In late September, SBCAG Board will againconsider funding the IP process.

Bike safety coursemisses Santa Barbara

We tried to bring a “Community BicycleSafety for Law Enforcement” course to SantaBarbara, but lost out to Davis, California. Thecourse, sponsored by the National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), will begiven in three US locations this fall.

Ralph Fertig, Coalition VP, talked to thecourse coordinator Peter Flucke of WE BIKE inWisconsin. Flucke, a former bicycle policeman,said that we will be considered for follow-upcourses if the first ones meet expectations.The two ultimate goals of the course are:• Decrease the number of deaths and injuries

resulting from bicycle/motor vehicles crashes• Increase the number of people choosing to

bicycle for recreation and transportation.

NHTSA is working to meet these goals by im-proving the bicycle safety knowledge of policeofficers, promoting increased bicycle safetyactivities in police departments and enablingselect police officers to serve as communitybicycle safety coordinators. The courses will belimited to about 10 participants.

For information about participating, phone Pe-ter Flucke at 920-497-3196 or email him [email protected].

Nitecross racesFor five consecutive evenings, a new series ofraces started on August 5. Saddled with a ri-diculously long name, the “Santa BarbaraSummer Nitecross Mountain Bike Twilight DirtCriterium Series” nonetheless is doing fine.

Race manager Mike Hecker says, “We arehappy that this first year of Nitecross hasbeen as successful as it has. As with anythingthat is new it takes time to attract themasses. The important thing is that we aregetting people out to have a good time andturning people on to the sport side of bicy-cling. We even are getting kids out for thefree kid’s races!” Thanks Mike!

Racers prepare for an upcoming race in theNitecross series in Goleta.
