This eve we biked in to Monterey. It was a gray day but there was sun in our💖 thanks to one of the joys of biking: the ease of pausing to chat with folks!
We talked with pedestrians, including: a dad on Webster with 2 young kids he takes biking—he’d just exited vehicle, cautiously & was interested in Dutch Reach; a man outside PO who was picking up his 9yo son from drum lessons nearby; a young woman at library curbside, who has never learned to bike (we welcomed her to call us); a family from Los Angeles on Alvarado with a teen, looking for ice cream; a fam from Fresno with 1yo & 7yo, about to check in to Portola; a fam from Modesto with 1, 7 & almost 11 yo—we sang him a birthday song—by Wedo’s Taco Truck; and 4 young women knitting—1 jelly our daughter is at a Lucy Dacus concert in NY tonight.
Also met a young driver from Pacific Grove, alongside us at Casa Verde & Del Monte light, who welcomed tips on bike-friendly driving.
None of these sweet interactions would’ve happened if we’d driven.💚

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.

Hallo zusammen! Ich überlege, zum 30-jährigen Jubiläum der Mountainbike-WM in Kirchzarten eine Veranstaltung für Vintage-MTB-Fans zu planen. Geplant sind gemeinsame Ausfahrten und ein entspanntes Beisammensein. Als Ausgangspunkt habe ich an ein Hostel in Kirchzarten gedacht, um die Kosten möglichst gering zu halten und die Teilnahme für jede*n zu ermöglichen. Das Treffen soll vom 19.-21. September 2025 in Kirchzarten stattfinden. Es geht vor allem um den Spaß mit den alten Rädern, und soll für alle Leistungsstufen geeignet sein.
Regeln für die Räder gibt es nicht, sie sollten aber grundsätzlich die 80er und 90er repräsentieren. Ein besonderes Rad aus den 2000ern wird dort natürlich auch seinen Platz finden. Besteht Interesse? Gerne auch Ergänzungen, Anregungen, ... #mountainbike

#KidicalMass #Exeter will ride again on the 14th of December, a family friendly bike ride calling for #SafeStreetsNow for cyclists of all ages. Gathering at 10:30 in Belmont Park to set off at 11, finishing in Northernhay Gardens with mulled wine and mince pies. Christmas costumes optional but encouraged.
Hear the voices of 9 women—from China, Denmark, Guatemala, the U.K., state of Idaho, and California—all out celebrating cycling at #SeaOtterClassic 2025 in #MontereyCounty: https://bikemonterey.org/women-celebrating-cycling-at-sea-otter-classic-2025.html
