UCSB bicycle pancake.Both Bike to Schooland Bike to Work Days were successful, althoughparticipation numbers are not yet available. Agroup of kids were seen biking together to SantaBarbara Junior High; there was no official eventthere, so they created their own. At UCSB, organiz-ers set up tables, umbrellas and cook stoves at thehill above Goleta Beach so passing motorists wouldsee it. Pancakes in the shape of bicycles or wheelswere offered to arriving bicyclists. Willie Weir’sperformance for the Adult Education “What MatterMost” program was a new event that elicited callsto bring him back next year. Our 125 Bike Weekflags flew along State Street for all to see.

Overall, bicycling was energized, and recogni-tion was bestowed upon both those who love bik-ing and those who are just starting to.

Seeping water and mud continue to make theCastillo Street undercrossing of Highway 101 achallenge for bicyclists.

Coalition getsseepage clarification

For three days in late April, Caltrans workedon the Castillo Street undercrossing ofHighway 101 in Santa Barbara. Perpetualseepage of water has been a problem foryears, especially for bicyclists. What Caltransdid was remove the concrete pavers. Theresult, at least for bicyclists, was disap-pointing due to continued mud and waterseepage onto the bikelanes.

A letter from Bicycle Coalition presidentRalph Fertig to Caltrans brought promptreplies from Pat Mickelson and MartaBortner. Bortner wrote, “Phase I of theproject completed in April was not intendedto fix the water issue at Castillo. The paverswere removed and the concrete cleaned andinspected in order to make a determinationif a technology developed by the ArmyCorps of Engineers would work to preventthe water from seeping up through the con-crete under the interchange. It has beendetermined that the technology will work.”

The new work will be done this summerand should be complete before City Collegeis back in session. “The goal of a dry,smooth and clean passage for pedestrians,bicyclists and motorists should be met,”Bortner tells us. We’re looking forward to adry solution for a slippery situation.

On April 24, the Bi-cycle Coalition partici-pated in our 14thEarth Day celebrationat the County Court-house. Our involve-ment started the yearafter we were orga-nized, reflecting ourcommitment to sus-tainable and appro-priate transportation.

For three yearsnow, we were in twoareas: our bike park-ing and adjacent freebike check-up area onAnapamu Street; andour regular information booth in an alter-native transportation area on the Court-house lawn. This year, we had a banner onour canopy that read:

The most energy-efficient means of human travelon our planet is...drum roll...the bicycle.

Thanks to bike mechanics Geoff Grow andKamron Sockolov who worked all daylong servicing 80 bicycles, more than in2004. The bike parking area was full mostof the day, with overflow bikes locked toany nearby solid thing. This year, we’rethankful to Dru van Hengel at the City forarranging the barricades that worked per-fectly for “lean and lock” bike parking.

We promoted our bike tour for theSustainability Project’s Parade of GreenBuildings, our bike rides and other online

Earth Day activities are Coalition successweb resources, ourupcoming Adult Ed“Street Skills for Cy-clists” class, and ourBike Week Celebra-tion with WillieWeir.

Our appreciatedraffle of gift certifi-cates for six bikeshops was open tothose who biked toEarth Day. This year,there were 171 par-ticipants, over twiceas many as lastyear. Winners of the$30 certificates were:

Marge Schwartz, VeloPro CycleryIan Jones, Big Gear Bike GearRalph Luikart, Fastrack BicyclesLauri, Hazard’s CyclesportJoyce Anderson, Commuter BicyclesRalph Kornahrens, Open Air Bicycles.

We passed out 78 copies of Quick Release,50 County bike maps, 31 bumper stickers(our last ones), 40 Bicycle Coalition bro-chures, 18 “Celebration” reservation cards,and 62 sheets listing web site links.

Special thanks to Pierre Delong andRalph Fertig who worked all day long,and to others who contributed so much tomake Earth Day another success in reach-ing our community: Don Lubach, BobBurgess, Jonathan Madajian, Bob Swin-ney, Nancy Mulholland, Mark Sapp,Gastón Renjel and Wilson Hubbell.

Coalition pursuesbiking in Measure D

A big project of ours this spring is a peti-tion asking SBCAG to include bicycling inthe renewal of Measure D, the half-centsales tax for transportation that will expirein 2009 unless people vote to continue it.

At Earth Day, we introduced the peti-tion and 130 people signed it, more thansigned one at Earth Day last year for theSanta Ynez River Trail. One man told us insigning it, “I’ll only vote for the tax ifthere’s a provision for bicycling in it.”

Since then, we’ve gathered 143 more atour monthly meeting and Bike to WorkDay events in Santa Barbara and UCSB. Bythe time you read this, we will have copiesof the petition in bike shops and elsewherearound the County. We’re not asking foryou to vote for the tax, only to includeprovisions for bicycling in it.

Nancy Mulholland, right, describes our BicycleCoalition services and activities to visitors.

New meeting locationSince November 1991, we’ve been gratefulto the County Public Works for use of theirconference room for our meetings. Now,however, they need it for other purposes.So, at the suggestion of Gastón Renjel,and follow up by Erika Lindemann, wehave a handsome “Community Room” forour meetings at Santa Barbara Bank &Trust, 1024 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara.

Central CoastVelodrome is coming!Mike Hecker, the driving force behind aregional movement to build a Central CoastVelodrome in Goleta, reports progress. Sofar, secured pledges of $50,000 have beenobtained toward the estimated cost of$450,000-$500,000 for an Olympic 200-meter velodrome cycling track.

This summer, a Board of Directors willbe established and the Central CoastVelodrome Association will file for 501c3nonprofit status, so that donations will betax deductible as allowed by law. Then,the CCVA directors will return to the GershPark managers to craft a final agreement.

After that, as Hecker sees it, there willbe a huge effort to raise the constructionmoney. If all goes well, groundbreakingcould occur as early as spring 2006, andcompletion later in the year.

CycleSmart bicyclist education news

“Touring by Bike”attracts a crowd

Twenty people turned out for our BikeWeek “Touring by Bike” presentation atJava Station on May 19th. Discussions ofmany aspects of bike touring by Wilsonand Gail Hubbell, Nancy Mulholland, andMark Sapp were greatly appreciated, andlots of questions showed genuine interest.

Pros and cons were described for commer-cial tours versus carry-it-yourself loadedtouring. Different kinds of bikes, what totake, use of trailers and panniers, how topack, and lots more were considered.

Gail Hubbell distributed a Bicycle TourEssentials check list of things to considertaking on your tour. She can email you acopy if you contact her at:[email protected].

Bike touring is an increasingly popularmeans of travel not only around the US,but throughout the world. It’s good exer-cise, it can save money, you get to see lifeat a sensible pace, and you meet peoplewho truly appreciate your efforts.

Wilson Hubbell describes the joys of bicycletouring at our Bike Week event.

New “Breeze” buseshave bike racks

On May 9th, a new bus service called“Breeze” started between Santa Maria andLompoc, with a stop at Vandenberg AFB.All buses have bike racks on them. Theyrun only weekdays so the racks are perfectfor commuting if you’re beyond walkingdistance (or SMAT and COLT buses) at ei-ther of your trip ends. Each rack will carrytwo bikes on a first-come, first-served ba-sis. The drivers will make every effort toaccommodate additional bicycles inside, asthey already have on several occasions.

Price is $2 each way, with monthlypasses available. For more information call(800) 417-2137 or visit www.breezebus.com.

Our Committee for 2005/2006 now consists of: ErikaLindemann and Dru VanHengel, Co-Chairs; SteveMorris, Hildy Hoffman andNancy Mulholland. With thisteam, we are looking for-ward to a year of increasing

options for bicycle safety education inSanta Barbara County. Watch for updates.

“SuperCyclers” class completedat Monte Vista school

Our first SuperCyclers class of eight stu-dents at Monte Vista Elementary Schoolended on May 12th with a street bike ride.Thanks to LCIs Erika Lindemann, HildyHoffman, Dru Van Hengel, and BobZimels for helping Nancy Mulholland onthe final day. It was a great success andwe’re looking for other schools to host ourSuperCyclers program.

Donation to CycleSmart programLast month, we reported that the Fund forSanta Barbara had rejected our request formoney for teaching materials, a laptopcomputer and digital projector. Because ofthat, a member of the Bicycle Coalition do-nated $500 to help our CycleSmart pro-gram. We are very grateful to that generousindividual and assure him that the moneywill be well used.

Coalition helps Senatetransportation bill

Two months after the US House of Repre-sentatives approved a six-year $284 billiontransportation bill that is a renewal of theTEA-21 act, the Senate passed its own$295 billion version by a 89-11 vote.

During discussion of the Senate version,two notable amendments were considered.One (Tom Harkin, D-Iowa) would have re-quired state DOTs to include bicycling andwalking in their policies. We wrote to ourSenators Diane Feinstein and BarbaraBoxer, asking them to vote for it, whichthey did. It was unfortunately—and nar-rowly—defeated, 44-53. Lots of groups ad-vocated for the issue, including the AARP,and the close vote was noted by many whohad expected a larger margin of defeat.

The second amendment (Jeff Sessions,R-Alabama) would have reduced fundingfor clean air, transit, bicycling and walkingtransportation by $11 billion. Thankfully, itwas soundly trounced 16-84.

Currently, a Senate-House committeehas started working out differences. This isdifficult not only because of the complexityof both versions, but also because of Presi-dent Bush’s threat of a veto if the amountis above $284 billion. Because the sixth ex-tension of the expired act ends May 31st, aseventh extension will be required.

UCSB bike impoundprovokes Bio II folk

Bike to Work Day at UCSB attracted newbicycle commuters to campus. It also at-tracted the student’s Community ServiceOrganization (CSO) workers who im-pounded about 40 bicycles parked in frontof the Biological Sciences II building.

The CSO web site says bicycles can only le-gally park in bike racks or they may be im-pounded. It goes on to say, “Impoundingbicycles is necessary to prevent accidentsand hazards, but is always the last actiontaken after verbal warnings, posting ofsigns, and tagging of the area.” However,another section of campus code says thatparking is permissible if no racks are avail-able and bikes don’t obstruct pedestrians.

According to biology staff and students,there were signs months earlier, but theywere then removed and bike parking re-sumed. On the morning of the impound, anemail warning was sent by the CSO onlyafter the bicycles had been hauled away.

In addition to the question of warnings,two other issues follow: bike locks are de-stroyed and impounded bicycles are alwayskept overnight. Bicycle Coalition presidentRalph Fertig was quoted by BarneyBrantingham in the Santa Barbara News-Press: “Probably more people would besympathetic with cyclists who have theirlocks destroyed and bikes impounded over-night if motorists were treated the sameway. For example, what if those who vio-lated parking regulations had their doorlocks broken and cars towed for overnightstorage? That would be equal treatmentunder the law.”

As this goes to press, campus adminis-tration is working with bicycling faculty,staff and students to resolve the issues. Ifindeed the CSO overstepped campus regula-tions, we hope that restitution will be madeto those harmed.

Thirteen bicycles were parked near the Bio IIentrance in the afternoon of the day 40 otherswere impounded that morning.


Chris Orr Loreby James Wagner

What do Mountain Bike Advocacy, TrailMaintenance, Bike Collecting and a win-ning Smile have in common? Chris Orr!

I asked past-president of the Santa Bar-bara Mountain Bike Trail Volunteers.(SBMTVs) how he got involved with moun-tain biking. Chris reports that due to somephysical differences in one of his legs as ayoungster, it was easier to get around onwheels than on foot. For Chris, “Bicyclesare not a hobby, they are part of my life.”

Chris grew up in Omaha, Nebraska andbegan riding over rough terrain as a three-year old. He would go off the beaten pathon his tricycle and loved riding over therise of a small bridge that spanned a waterfeature near a fountain. As Chris grew sodid his involvement and love of human-powered wheels. Chris went from his triketo two wheelers, to bike jumping, to BMXracing, and even “podiumed” racing moun-tain bikes in 1999-2003.

Chris’s voice comes to life as he talksabout all the work done by the SBMTVs.Tabling trailheads so that all users maylearn ways to harmoniously co-exist on thetrails, for the highest good of all concerned,serves as an inspiring endeavor. TheSBMTVs distribution of thousands of bikebells to down-hillers has helped too.SBMTVs also does monthly trail mainte-nance and advocacy projects. As a result,Chris reports that hiker complaints aboutbikes are down from their peak in 2000due to their efforts.

SBMTV serves as a model for other com-munities and recently organized the firstnationwide “Take a Kid Mountain Biking”event and got 60 local kids involved inmountain biking and learning about the lo-cal ocean and butterfly reserves from localexperts.

When not adding to his collection of cur-vaceous bikes from the 1930s, Chris mostlydoes day rides and occasionally venturesoff into the backcountry with his mountain

bike loaded down with panniers and a Bobtrailer.

Chris stands as a local hero and servesas a wonderful human resource. Regretta-bly, given the cost of local housing, Chrisreports he has been thinking about movingout of the area, perhaps to Texas, Nevadaor Washington. Our loss would be their gain.
