If you want traffic to suck less, check out this video. I learn a few new terms, like red light platooning. #BikeLanes #sfbike
After a sunny weekend, the weather shifted on Veterans Day, November 11. Rain is welcome in Monterey County and most of California.

Also included are links to tips from Cascade Bicycle Club, Bike Portland, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, @BikeEastBay, and Bike League. https://bikemonterey.org/rainy-weather-tips-for-people-who-bike.html

Our #CalBike partner San Francisco Bike Coalition has an excellent new video, a message also relevant for Monterey County and virtually everywhere! https://youtu.be/kDLgzs_Q2cc?si=AkcqgxLgu5NrkCad
And if you prefer, as we do, to watch/listen to videos via #DuckDuckGo's Duck Player, instead of on Youtube, refer to https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/duck-player/.

@icanzilb It is typical for people to complain and if city leaders hold to the plan it can work out in the long run. Here in San Francisco there is a street named Valencia which has been debated for many years. Long ago it was like other streets with 2 lanes going both ways and the SF Bike Coalition led by Mary Brown ran a campaign to changed the street to include bike lanes. Shop owners strongly opposed it and claimed it would force them out of business. But it turned it into a very pedestrian friendly area with a ton of foot traffic and shops and restaurants have thrived.

A lot changed during the pandemic. Since it was common for cars to ignore the bike lanes and cause serious safety hazards the bike lanes were moved to the center with barriers to prevent cars from casually and suddenly cutting off bike commuters. #sfbike
As we told these visitors from #Sausalito we met on the City of #Monterey section of the #MontereyBay Sanctuary Scenic Trail network this eve, people who bike are our favorite visitors. And we dig it even more that they are members of our #CalBike partner San Francisco Bike Coalition.

This is so wrong. Yes, heโs 82 but he was also intoxicated. https://www.ktvu.com/news/82-year-old-driver-who-killed-world-champion-cyclist-sf-wont-get-jail-time
An 82-year-old man, who was found guilty of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter of a world champion bicyclist in San Francisco last spring, won't get jail time, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California.
On my wish list: a protected bike lane on McAllister Street from Market to Gough.
