Bicycling in Pebble Beach is temporarily restricted Saturday and Sunday, August 16-17, 2025 due to Concours d'Elegance. Also, although not restricted Monday through Friday, August 11-15, Pebble Beach Company does not recommend biking inside Pebble Beach on those five dates as well. More about biking Pebble Beach: https://bikemonterey.org/biking-17-mile-drive.html

Watch out for big trucks! Monterey County roads will see many more around August 8-17, hauling cars for “Car Week.” Our Summer Bike Buzz https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-summer-2025-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html updates include a reminder about Cycling Savvy’s tips on “The 6 Things You Need to Know” to stay clear of a truck’s danger zones. https://cyclingsavvy.org/what-cyclists-need-to-know-about-trucks/

In our “Resources on Riding Skills, Bike Laws, and Safety” section https://bikemonterey.org/resources/resources-on-riding-skills-bike-laws-and-safety is a list of resources we have created, as well as resources from others.

Among the latter is #BikeLeague’s new video series — Camiones Grandes y Bicicletas / Big Trucks and Bikes. https://bikeleague.org/new-video-series-big-trucks-and-bikes-educating-truck-drivers-to-save-lives/ It is dedicated to the memory of Sarah Debbink Langenkamp, a U.S. diplomat who had been safely evacuated from Ukraine in summer 2022, then killed weeks later while biking home in Bethesda, Maryland. https://www.npr.org/2022/11/18/1137817706/she-was-a-diplomat-in-ukraine-when-war-came-in-a-u-s-suburb-a-truck-took-her-lif

Bike riding in Monterey and Pebble Beach

We did a very nice tri-club bike ride on Sunday starting in Monterey (CA) heading south along the coast past Pacific Grove and into the Pebble Beach area along 17 Mile Drive and turning around at the iconic Lone Cypress as seen in the photo.

This part of the CA coast is spectacular with its rocky beaches intermixed with white sand. Along the route you pass two of the famous Pebble Beach golf courses, Spyglass Hill and Spanish Bay. And of course there are the houses. You’re either awed or appalled at their Hurst Castle-like gaudy excessiveness.

May 2025 is the 16th Anniversary of Bicycling Monterey, Monterey County’s Local Partner of the California Bicycle Coalition / #CalBike.

Our favorite #BikeAdvocacy task is direct outreach by bicycle! The 16th anniv gallery https://bikemonterey.org/16th-anniversary-gallery-bicycling-monterey-may-2025.html is a sampling of people we met each of the past 16 years.

Among them: #PeopleWhoBike for #transportation, recreation, who bike to #protest rallies, bike to #FarmersMarkets, bike to #surf, #BikeToSchool and #BikeAndRide for a #DadAndDaughter date, #BikeToWork (and yes, pedaling in a business #suit is no problem for him), #HandCycle bike to exercise the #dog, bike to #travel long distances / #BicycleTouring.

We are grateful to each of the following for making one or more donations to Bicycling Monterey in 2024. Among them is a donor who made a generous repeat donation Dec 6, and again on Dec 17, Martin Dehmler Fine Cabinetmaking.

Martin supports bike advocacy because of its multiple benefits, even for people who don’t bike: Reducing carbon emissions and traffic congestion, improving public health, strengthening community connections, boosting the economy, and increasing JOY!
