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! Here 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.

The bicycle education program at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center was founded by Bicycling Monterey in April 2012 and still rolls on in April 2025!

The bike tech class series—providing bicycle repair and maintenance instruction—is only possible because of two volunteers who stepped up in 2012 and still continue volunteering on this 13th anniversary: Frank Henderson and Luciano Rodriguez.

We appreciated the warm, cheery greeting of Milly Taylor from the U.K. at the Hiplok booth at Monterey County’s Sea Otter Classic. We also appreciated her thoughtful gift on April 13 of a Hiplok Z Lok Combo + Frame Bracket; a Track AirTag holder + Z Lok Bracket; and a Key Clip—all useful items for some lucky participants in upcoming Bicycling Monterey activities.

We took to Sea Otter Classic some Salinas Valley youth who were first-time attendees. Our advance “to bring” checklist included a hat / sun protection, but this child didn’t have a hat. Now they do, thanks to a kind gift of a hat from Jake Scott of Novatec Wheels! https://www.novatecusa.net/

We appreciated reading ONE BIKE, ONE WHEEL, ONE STORY: THE JOURNEY OF TANNUS AND "BICICLETAS SIN FRONTERAS”: https://tannustires.com/en/tannus-blog/tannus-bicicletas-sin-fronteras/ “A bicycle changes lives. And a bicycle that never breaks down, does it even more.”

Thank you to Ryan of Tannus America for showing us the Tannus Armour tire liner at Monterey County’s Sea Otter Classic, and for his April 11 gift of a cycling cap in support of our direct outreach by bike.
