by Ralph Fertig“Time me,” Representative Lois Capps saidas she strode out of her office, “I’m going tovote.” A group of us waiting for our upcom-ing meeting with her watched as she rusheddown the Longworth House Office Buildingcorridor. Fifteen minutes later, she returnedfrom voting, and eight of us were usheredinto her office where we asked her to sup-port national bicycling measures.

Because of outside support, four of usrepresenting Santa Barbara County—ErikaLindemann, Chris Orr, Ralph Fertig, andBob Zimels—were able to attend the Wash-ington DC Bike Summit on March 13-16th.We are all grateful for the help from our Bi-cycle Coalition, Goleta Valley Cycling Club,and the International Mountain Bicycling Associa-tion (IMBA).

So muchhappenedduring those4 days, I canbarely touchon the topicsfrom the sixgeneral ses-sions, threespecializedworkshops,and meet-ings withmembers ofCongress. Onthe following pages there are separate articles byChris Orr about the Summit, and Shimano’s new“Coasting” bike components that were introduced

County presence at DC Bike Summit

For whatever reason, there are few outside bike racks around thecapitol, but this one is located outside the Supreme Court building.

Senator Diane Feinstein’s assistant Kit Batten (center) listened to the 50California participants describe our bicycling needs.

to us. Additionally, here are some of the Summithighlights:

� Over the past two decades, bicycling has surged toa multi-billion dollar industry. Representation onCapitol Hill has increased, and federal funding forbicycle facilities and programs has grown ten fold.

� The major challenge facing us over the next twoyears is to increase bicycle funding in thereauthorization of the SAFETEA-LU federaltransportation act.

� The “Complete Streets” movement, where allroadway right-of-way users like bicyclists must beconsidered, is gaining traction. It’s becoming“Complete Green Streets” where permeability,runoff, landscape, and other issues are embraced.

� Summit organizer League of American Bicyclists,now 127 years old, reported that its LeagueCycling Instructor (LCI) training program willsurpass 1000 instructors this year, that it is part-nering with MS rides for safety training, and thatit has recognized 60 Bicycle-Friendly communities

(including the City of Santa Barbara).

Thirty US cities are considering“congestion pricing” where rush-hourfees are assessed. This has been success-fully deployed in London, Singapore,Stockholm, and elewhere. It reducespollution and congestion, while increas-ing bicycling, walking, and transit.

Gasoline prices are rising, there’s a newpolitical perspective in Congress, climatechange is high on their agenda, obesityis increasingly a concern, and bicyclingis now being advanced as a solution forall those challenges. We will be workingwith Congress to promote it as such.

Coalition’s bike skillsclass another success

On March 1st and 3rd, our Bicycle Coalitionoffered another of our bicycling skillsclasses. This was another for women, deal-ing with women-specific issues like bikesand clothing. Like earlier classes, it was agreat success, with 12 signed up.

Erika Lindemann ably taught the 2-dayclass. One day classroom, the second onbikes. Watch for our next class in May.

“Coasting” bikes testmarket appeal

For the pastfive years, bi-cycle compo-nent manu-facturerShimano hasreversed itsusual ap-proach toselling itswares. Previ-ously, theymade prod-ucts, thensold them to

people who bicycle. This time, they soughtout adult non-bicyclists to determine whythey don’t bike.

There are 150 million adult Americans,most of whom have positive memories ofbiking as kids, and would like to rediscoverthat experience. The study showed that theydon’t want a competitive sport, new tech-nology, danger, confusing accessories, or anexercise machine. They just want to ride, toescape with friends on a safe path or trail.Plus, for those who haven’t biked sincechildhood, the experience of going into abike shop is intimidating and confusing.

The result of this research is Shimano’snew “Coasting” component set. New bikesusing the components are being manufac-tured by Raleigh, Giant and Trek. Last month,a promotion effort for the bikes began in 15pilot areas, including San Diego, OrangeCounty, and San Francisco.

How are the bikes different? They haveinternal, microchip-controlled, automatic 3-speed shifting and coaster brakes (pedalbackwards to stop). When there’s a flat ormechanical 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 quietbikepaths or calm streets where they feelsafe. They may seek others to ride with, butmost bike clubs are for racing or long rides,not casual social cruises. Our CycleSmartclasses might even be too technical.

At the Bike Summit, Kozo Shimano,grandson of Shimano’s founder, talked aboutthe increasing need for safer places to ride.Their website www.coasting.com lists ridesand information for new bicyclists. Energy isbuilding to return adults to bicycling—howcan we best welcome them home?

The new Trek “Lime” bike usesCoaster components.

California CompleteStreets Act

On February 23, San Francisco Assembly-member Mark Leno introduced AB 1358,the California Complete Streets Act of2007. It’s possibly the most sweeping andimportatnt piece of legislation for Califor-nia bicyclists ever introduced.

AB 1358 will ensure that the transporta-tion plans of California communities meetthe needs of all users of the roadways andstreets. That means including the needs ofpedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, mo-torists, children, the elderly, and the dis-abled. Taking effect in 2009, it will requireall California cities and counties, wheneverthey update their General Plans, to fullyconsider accommodation of all road users.

We helped add a Complete Streetsclause in the Measure D renewal for ourCounty last fall, but it was sadly defeated.

There will be some opposition to thebill. We will be watching it and taking ac-tion as needed. What you can do individu-ally now is to write a letter of support toAssemblymember Leno. There’s a sampleletter that you can use as a basis on theCalifornia Bicycle Coalition’s site atwww.calbike.org.

Abandoned bikesclutter UCSB racks

UCSB’s Associated Students BIKES committeerecently surveyed the campus bike rack situ-ation in an attempt to identify abandonedbicycles. They surveyed 39 main bike park-ing areas on a Sunday when, with no classes,few students would be around and thosebikes in the racks would closely approximatethe number that were abandoned.

Overall they found that 46% of availablebike slots were occupied. In a few instances,all bike parking was taken, or even overflow-ing onto adjacent areas.

The AS BIKES committee is working withthe student-staffed Community Service Orga-nization (CSO) over spring break to tag bi-cycles that may be abandoned in preparationto remove them. That way, additional spacesfor parking current students’ bicycles willbecome available. Everybody will be happier.

Buellton BMX track &athletic fields nixed

The County Planning Commission, facedwith outspoken opposition to a proposed 23-acre sports complex, rejected the plan onMarch 7th. The Santa Ynez Valley YouthSports Foundation that proposed the projectnear Buellton, has been seeking a locationfor 15 years for soccer, baseball, and footballfields. 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 lamentedthe opposition from agricultural interests,saying that any other location will meet iden-tical rejection. Everybody expressed favorfor athletic fields, just not in any locationnear their current agricultural land.

Too often on campus, existing bike racks are so fullthat students have to risk fines and impound byparking elsewhere.

Class participants prepare to take their steedsout on the road on March 3rd.


Coalition helps host Amgen Tour of CaliforniaThe Amgen Tour of California breezedthrough Santa Barbara County on Febru-ary 23rd and 24th, thrilling cycling fansand providing us with an opportunity toengage and educate our community.

The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalitionwas actively involved with both theSolvang time trial and the Santa Barbara-to-Santa Clarita stage start. We had abooth that we shared with Santa BarbaraCar Free at both locations. Overall wedistributed nearly 500 copies of theSanta Barbara County Bike Map, bicyclesafety booklets, bumper stickers sayingMy other car is a bicycle, copies of QuickRelease, Bicycle Coalition membershipforms, Bring Your Bike on Amtrak Cali-fornia brochures, and more.

In Solvang, the crowd was muchlarger. However people were there to watchthe cyclists starting and finishing, so quicklypassed by our booth. Fewer picked up litera-ture, although the pro-portion of the CountyBike Map was greater,suggesting that morewere visitors—and thatthey were consideringreturning to bike. Bi-cycle Coalition memberJohn Padfield excitedlocal school childrenabout the Tour. Earlierin the year he broughtcycling team membersto schools while they were training in theSanta Ynez Valley.

In Santa Barbara, we were a Tour stageco-sponsor along with the Santa BarbaraConference and Visitors Bureau. Bicycle Coa-

lition members Barney Berglund, DrewHunter, Mike Hecker and Ralph Fertigworked hard to involve the community. We

brought in COAST to runSafetyville for kids, andMike Hecker to organizebike races for kids, bothin view of the startingline. Berglund, especially,devoted large amounts ofenergy as stage coordina-tor to bring everything to-gether. He organized anevening Gala event at theMaritime Museum as abenefit for our Bicycle

Coalition. Santa Barbara bike shop ownerDave Lettieri went to local elementaryschools to enthuse the kids about cycling.

According to race promoters, the eight-day, 650-mile Amgen Tour of California in-volved 12 host cities and attracted arecord-breaking 1.6 million spectators. Itclearly demonstrated that cycling inAmerica is more popular than ever. Locally,it was estimated that our two Tour stagesbrought in $1.2 million in visitor revenue tobusinesses in Santa Barbara County.

Everything went well in both cities. Thetwo Local Organizing Committees wereelated with the results. Here are some com-ments that we gathered: “Had a good time.Would love it to end in town. Great event!RAD! Fans are fantastic. Great—kids race isvery fun. Keep in SB.” We certainly applaudthe Tour and the awareness that it brings toour County. How about 2008? Bring it back!

Oh yes, Californian Levi Leipheimer wonthe Tour.

A cycling magnetDuring the Amgen Tour of California stagein Solvang, the Santa Ynez Valley andSolvang visitor centers passed out over 500flyers to cyclists. It promoted the area withreasons to bicycle there, contained quotesfrom Lance Armstrong, David Zabriskieand Ray Ford. It had a list of resources (in-cluding our www.sbbike.org website), and up-coming local bicycling events.

Most interesting were reasons why pro-fessional teams choose the Valley:

� Varied terrain, from gentle rolling hills tosteep 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 pastvineyards on our quiet rural roads

� Great rides for beginners, serious cyclists,and families, as well as professionals.

Notes on the nationalBike Summit 2007

by Chris OrrNewly appointed as a regional InternationalMountain Bike Association (IMBA) Represen-tative, I traveled to Washington DC to advo-cate for bicycles with local Bicycle Coalitionmembers and 447 other bike advocates.

Bicycle transportation issues and bicycletrail access issues are not so different. Na-tionwide parallels include difficulties in hav-ing the bicycle recognized as a valid form oftransportation, difficulties in building, in-cluding, or modifying bicycle infrastructures,and difficulties in developing local, state, andfederal funding for bicycle infrastructure.

Through a series of lectures and speechesby advocates, city mayors, and a former Sec-retary of the Department of Transportation,summit attendees learned how to addressbicycle issues, dress appropriately—sansspandex—and then speak with congressionalsenate and house representatives (or theirstaff). It was very heartening to have ourstate representatives listen to our bicycletransportation issues, give positive feedback,and have them comment that our group wasone of the best organized and well spoken tocome through their offices.

Bike Week’s comingOur annual BikeWeek of excitingevents is takingshape this May 12-20. Check out ourwebsite listing atwww.sbbike.org/

bw.html for details.Whatever you do

On March 17, hun-dreds of UCSB stu-dents and commu-nity members madethe connection be-tween bicycling, oilconsumption, andpeace by cycling 14miles from Isla Vistato a peace rally inDowntown SantaBarbara. To many ofthose biking, the useof oil and related re-sources for privatemotor vehicles is themajor force drivingour wars.

The bicycle is not often associated withprotests. Last November, there was a bike

ride in Isla Vista pro-moting the passage ofMeasure D. If the per-centage of IV votersin favor of it—80%—isan indication of effec-tiveness, then it had adefinite impact. Thereare monthly CriticalMass rides in SantaBarbara, intended topromote safer bicy-cling conditions, buttheir message is notalways clear to others.

The Isla Vista ridehad a police escort allthe way. It stopped to

plant an olive tree of peace at Raytheon,take the lanes on Hollister Avenue and StateStreet, stop for water at shopping plazas,return waves from pedestrians, and arrivedjust in time for the peace rally.

Former Bicycle Coalition president Rob-ert Bernstein reports, “Almost exactly atnoon we rolled to the staging area for thepeace march! We were greeted with cheersalmost as if we were a triumphant army!And in a way, we were. Riding a bicycle tosave resources often feels like going intobattle.” He notes that we’re killing and in-juring many more on our home highwaysthat in our current wars. Bernstein hasposted his photos of the ride atwww.swt.org/act/criticalmass031707.

Whether the ride is a harbinger of futureprotests via bicycling remains to be seen,but it has definitely made a debut.

Can bike rides provide effective activism?
