This morning our son said it's 109 where he is. Our BFF said it's 100 where she is.
Why do we do what we do—14+ years of volunteer work as a #bicycling advocate? Among the multiple benefits of biking—for individuals, communities, and planet: reducing #CarbonEmissions.
Thanks to all who grok the benefits when more people bike, and pitch in to help support this work. https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations
If you're able, please add your name to our special #thanks list in Summer Bike Buzz: https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-summer-2023-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html. (Or be a year-round supporter / Pedal Pusher, as @Kleen is.) Sharing the need for supporters is also appreciated.
Besides #Earth care, here are some of the other benefits when more people #bike: https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/why-bike

Solid haul today. E-cargo bikes are the best. (i'm not a fan of "carry shit olympics". It's not about that at all.)

As the O-train is down (again), and the mayor has released another pro-car op-ed, I took the time to write the mayor and my city councillor about the kinds of transportation infrastructure they are prioritizing. You can too!
Tell them you want reliable public transportation & safe infrastructure.

Mayor of #Ottawa:
"The debate over closing a specific stretch of Queen Elizabeth Driveway is not about whether or not the city supports active transportation. It’s about where and when are the best opportunities for it."
Me:
Summer is exactly the best time to convert roadways into active use routes.

Join @sfbike @kidsafesf and @joel_engardio for a Sunset Neighborways ride this Saturday. The ride will help inform MTA's Active Communities Plan aka the citywide bike network.
As they say, safe routes don't stop at district boundaries. We are so grateful Westside politicians are expressing support for healthy modes of transportation.
RSVP details on flyer ⬆️.

Free idea: the mayor's office drops K rails along a protected bike network in downtown SF. Sync it up with the protected bikeway along the Embarcadero and Battery in FiDi.
Create a passport that has a cool, unique prize. (food, t shirt, pint glass, SFG bleacher seats, your awesome idea)
We have plenty of vehicle lanes that need to be reallocated in Union Square, FiDi and Soma. Relying on drivers to jumpstart the downtown economy is dead.
One step further would be collab with local bike rental outfits to provide service with a subsidized rate for Bay Area/MTC residents. Collab with Bay Wheels as well.

Biked around mid Soma for lunch. Got video of a driver going 50-60mph then running a red light. Shocking I tell you!
This anti-social behavior is now the status quo 'round here.
My wish list is for MTA staff to hit the streets vs sending out survey after survey. 🥴
#UrbanMobility #activetransportation
The fact that I feel like I need to carry a video camera on my commute from the Westside to Soma is a damning indictment of the circus that is our streets.

TIL about the reopen the Alto Tunnel project. Def needs funding but seems like a missed opportunity in the year 2023.

Governor Janet Mills of Maine has signed LD256, a bill to add e-bike rebates to Efficiency Maine Trust's rebate program! Thank you to Senator Matthea Daughtry, of Cumberland for sponsoring this bill. This will help replace car trips in Maine, the majority of which are under 5 miles. https://legislature.maine.gov/billtracker/#Paper/256?legislature=131 #Maine #BikeTooter #ebike #bikes4transport #activetransportation
