What a Bike Week it was! More participants,more events, more variety than ever before.Now then, what are your ideas for 2008?

Bike Week, continued from page 1 Drizzle dampensEarth Day cyclists

The weather gods have been kind to SantaBarbara’s Earth Day since we started partici-pating in 1992, but this year they sent rainand drizzle our way. While lots or peopleshowed up on bikes in the morning, as theincreasingly wet day progressed, their num-bers dropped.

Once again, we offered our popular freebike check-ups to bicyclists. Thanks to Wil-son Hubbell, Geoff Grow, Jim Marshall andRobert Rainwater for volunteering theirtime and bike expertise to help 51 people.And thanks to Pierre Delong for keepingtrack of those waiting for check-ups. Thatnumber is down from last year’s total of 95check-ups, most likely due to the rain.

Because of donations from three localbike shops, we raffled off gift certificates tobicyclists for use at Hazard’s Cyclesport,Open Air Bicycles, and Café de Velo.

At our separate information booth in thealternative transportation section of EarthDay, we convinced ten new individuals tojoin our Coalition. People picked up moreliterature at Earth Day than any other eventwhere we had a presence this year. Ourthanks goes to those who staffed our booth:Judy Keim, Bob Burgess, Ralph Fertig, DaveBourgeois, and Drew Hunter.

Overall, bicycling as a tool that people canuse to help save our planet from climatechange, fossil fuel depletion, species extinc-tion, ozone loss, and more, is rising in ourcommunity’s awareness and actions. We’repart of a rising tide of solutions. Ride on!

Cycling in the RAAMOn June 12th in Oceanside four cyclistsfrom Santa Barbara County will begin ped-aling across the United States. They won’tstop until Atlantic City 3000 miles later.

They are members of the KalyraWomen’s Racing Team, sponsored byKalyra Winery in Santa Ynez, and they arein the 25th annual Race Across America(RAAM) to help raise funds for Girls Incor-porated of Greater Santa Barbara.

The RAAM has solo riders, and teamsconsisting of 2, 4, 6, or 8 members. Whilethe solo riders will take time out of cyclingfor sleep, all the teams will have a riderpedaling on the road at any time.

The riders are Jill Gass, Sonia Ross,Denise Clark, and Lisa Tonello. Clark is amember of our Bicycle Coalition, andTonello is owner of The Bike Barn in SantaMaria. They are seeking contributions tohelp support their effort and raise moneyfor Girls Inc. You can help their effortonline at www.girlsincsb.org.

Not to be outdone by the ladies, there isadditionally a group of eight local men whoformed Team Santa Barbara Bank & Trust.Members are Jim Adams, George Bifano,Edwin Allbritton, Fred Clough, DonaldFlanigan, Brian Knowles, Lance Mason,and Richard Ward.

You can learn about the RAAM atwww.raceacrossamerica.org, where there’salso background information on all the rac-ers. The RAAM is the longest endurance cy-cling event in the world, with intimidatinglogistics. Clark notes, “Besides a rigoroustraining schedule and determining ourfuel/food and possible medical needs, wehave recruited a top notch crew of 16 fromacross the country, planned for the set-upof our vehicles, prepped equipment, memo-rized pages of rules and done trial runswith our local crew.” We wish them all luck.

Coalition Board member Judy Keim talks tovisitors at our Earth Day information booth.

Santa Barbara Bikestation opens for businessWhittaker lives strongBicycle Coalition member and cancer survi-vor Tom Whittaker is riding in LanceArmstrong’s LIVESTRONG Challenge in Port-land, Oregon this September.

In 2001, he was diagnosed with a braintumor. Scared, angry and worried for hisfamily and himself, he endured two years ofchemotherapy, and is now beginning furthertreatment. More determined than ever not tolet cancer rob him of life, he’s cycling 100miles and hoping to raise $7500 for theLance Armstrong Foundation. To help him,go to http://portland07.livestrong.org tolearn about the Challenge Tom is facing.

Our Bicycle Coalition has staffed a boothat seven events so far this year:� Tour of California, Solvang� Tour of California, Santa Barbara� UCSB’s Island View Races, Isla Vista� Earth Day, Santa Barbara� Bike Safety Fair, Goleta� Bike to Work Day, Santa Barbara� Children’s Festival, Santa Barbara

In order to measure the effectiveness ofparticipating in the various events, Bi-cycle Coalition president Ralph Fertighas been tracking how many of thedozen or so items at our info table havebeen taken by participants.

Of particular interest is the Bicycle Coalition-specific items (like Quick Release) versusgeneral things (like the Bring your Bike on Amtrak California tri-fold). When the data forthe top four events are plotted in a graph, it clearly shows that Santa Barbara’s Earth Dayis the winner in both categories. Plus, it was the source of ten new Coalition memberships.Even when looked at the number of items distributed per hour, Earth Day is still top, butBike to Work Day moves up to third place. We love Earth Day and apparently vice versa.

Goleta scout runsBicycle Safety Fair

Eagle scout Alex Wolff wanted to improvebicyclist safety, so he organized a BicycleSafety Fair on April 28 in Goleta. Our BicycleCoalition was invited to staff a booth, so ourpresident Ralph Fertig did just that. Themost popular item at our table was theStreet Smarts booklet that was appropriatelyprovided by the Goleta Valley Cycling Club.

There were fewer participants than Wolffhad hoped for, but marketing is the mostchallenging part of similar projects. Hisevent report summed things up, “Therewere six different learning stations: a bicyclecheck up station, youth and adult teachingopportunity, bike helmet distribution, BoyScout booth, Bicycle Coalition booth, and asafety riding course. The Bicycle Safety Fairprovided a valuable learning experience notonly for the children who attended, but theirparents and scout volunteers as well.”

If you wish to contact Wolff for details,email him at ageckoguy@hotmail.com.

It’s finally open! Ourcounty’s first Bikestationopened with a ribbon-cut-ting ceremony on May 1stattended by nearly 100people, including Supervi-sor Carbajal, Mayor Blum, and several CityCouncilmembers. It’s located inside the newGranada Garage car parking facility, next tothe Coffee Cat and across Anacapa Streetfrom the County’s Administration Building.

The Bikestation is providing bicyclistswith a secure place to store their bicycles, ashower room, lockers, restrooms, and aplace to buy bike basics. Security is pro-vided by video surveillance cameras, andpersonal membership cards that identifyeach person’s entry by time and date. Thissystem has reportedly provided total secu-rity at other Bikestation installations.

Membership entails a basic $20/year ad-

ministration charge, plus a usage fee basedon whether you choose an annual contract,a monthly one, or day-by-day one. The an-nual usage fee is $96, the monthly one $12.Day packages depend on number of days.

A question about bi-cyclist safety in bik-ing past SantaBarbara’s sidewalk“bulbouts” has beenraised. The bulboutsshorten the distancethat pedestrianshave to cross the in-tersection, reducingtheir exposure to mo-torists. They extendfive feet into thestreet, and are onlyinstalled adjacent to vehicle parking thatprotrudes between six and eight feet.

The City of Santa Barbara is busy installingbulbouts like these at Quinto and De la Vina.

There should beno problems for cy-clists unless they areviolating the law andbiking on the side-walk, or if they aredoing something un-safe and unwise—biking in the carparking area. Ifyou’re biking whereyou should safelyand legally be on theroadway, there

should be no additional danger caused bythese pedestrian safety measures.

Crosswalk bulbouts—are cyclists safe?

Quick Release ~ June 2007 ~ Page 5

The Multi-use Trails Coalition, a new SouthCoast group concerned about possible lossof bicyclist access to trails recently con-ducted a survey to determine trail user ex-periences and concerns.

They performed the survey because therewere scant objective data on the nature anddegree of conflict among user groups onwhich to base trail improvements. They pre-sented their findings to the Front CountryTrails Task Force on May 2, 2007.

To obtain objective data, they gave TrailSurvey forms to individuals exiting the bot-tom trailheads of Romero Canyon, ColdSprings, San Ysidro, and Tunnel Trails. They did not identify theirorganization or interest in the results. The surveys were conductedin mid-February at busy trail weekday and weekend times.

Trail survey reveals few complaints about bikers

by Ralph FertigAfter three days ofdeliberation, the juryannounced that itwas hopelessly dead-locked. Reportedly,six thought thatErnesto Botello wasguilty of killingyoung Jake Boysel,and six thought not.

The story goesback to September 6,2006 as 12-year oldJake biked toward LaColina Junior High.As he pedaled in thebikelane on Calle

Real, Botello hit him from the rear, propelling him 99 feet throughthe air. Jake’s backpack was torn off, his helmet knocked off, a shoelost, and his mountain bike run over. Jake died of head injuries.

I sat through a day of jury selection and six agonizing days oftrial, April 17-25th. Each evening, I sent a report to our email list.What emerged was that the road condition and lane striping werenot contributing factors. Botello’s SUV windshield was dusty andcracked, the window washing reservoir was empty, his seat was re-clined at a 45º angle, and his sound system was blaring music. Hedrove daily on Calle Real to work. At some point that morning therising sun blinded him, but he didn’t slow down. Botello very likelyhad a good opportunity to see Jake. “I never saw him,” he stated.

Judge Clifford Anderson declared a mistrial on May 1st. Ninedays later the District Attorney’s office announced that they wouldnot seek a retrial. Botello cannot again be tried—he is a free man.

A local lawyer who followed the trial told me, “I believe half ofthe jury was wrong. Unfortunately we are stuck with their decisionbecause that is our system of justice.”

We weep at our loss of Jake Boysel, Then at our loss of justice.

The Calle Real fence next to the place where JakeBoysel died was covered with touching testimonyof the boy’s charismatic personality.

The result was 365 people surveyed. A ma-jority of 81% were hiking or running; the re-maining 19% were on bikes. There were noequestrians, although 1% wrote that theysometimes ride horses.

When asked about improving their experi-ence, users could write anything, and 73% ofthem responded with one or more sugges-tions as shown in the graph. Only 2% of theresponses wrote “Restrict bikers” and 1%wrote “More bike bells.” Dogs on the trailswere as much a concern as bikers, and severalother things—especially signs and trail condi-tion—were much greater concerns.
