Among the many #Bicycling #Monterey projects that most people are unaware of is the first example under Project #4, BICYCLING #EQUITY EFFORTS (scroll down our Summary of Projects page: https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations/donations-some-ways-your-money-can-help).

Last week another #teen phoned us to make use of that project, and today yet another teen called in the same situation. We're happy to help. We salute these teens for not wasting their (or their family's) money on a #TrafficFine. Instead, these #youth are "making lemonade out of lemons."

When #LawEnforcement officers deem a #citation appropriate, we appreciate #judges who offer an alternative to a #fine—such as the one we provide (see Project #4).

In case you're wondering: We appreciate #police officers who are into education instead of citation whenever appropriate. And we've done reach out https://bikemonterey.org/constables-of-the-peace-cops-on-bikes.html to #PoliceDepartments over the past 14 years to help more #MontereyCounty, and other, #cops be better prepared to help educate people who #bike.
