Bright spots in our #BikeMonth (May): the people who've responded to our Questionnaire for Bike Month!

From 12-year-olds to 82-year-olds, including people from every decade of life in-between, it's interesting, fun, and so worthwhile to hear their responses. The work to do this questionnaire has been worth it—not just the many hours it's taken us to compile the responses, but the time and care each respondent put in to providing their input about the joys and challenges of #cycling!

We're still transcribing four video responses, and doing other tasks, to create our compilation post. That means the post won't be out today as we'd hoped. Watch for it ASAP in June in the #Bicycling #Monterey sidebar (bikemonterey.org).

Meanwhile, here's a photo sent by one of the respondents, a 71-yr-old woman from Florida. She bikes when she visits California too, as she was doing with her husband, in this photo.

Another observation about biking today: Drivers moved over when I only had a skinny shoulder. When I was in a bike lane drivers didn't move over; they came much closer to me than they did in the absence of the magic paint. Move-over passing law applies where there are bike lanes too, but they don't seem to feel the same need for safety and courtesy. I guess they believe in the magic of paint. #BikeTooter #infrastructure #BikeLanes #BikeMonth

Target promoting “bike up to the drive up” in a Facebook ad. But don’t read the comments. #BikeMonth

It’s National #BikeMonth everyone! Here’s my favorite bike maintenance tip for my fellow #BikeTooter -
When you’re changing your tires, line up the valve stem with the pressure label on the tire so you don’t have to go hunting for it every time!
