Our VisionThe Santa Barbara Bike Coalition (SB Bike) vision is that Santa Barbara will be a leader

in creating a bicycle-friendly community and transportation system. Extensive on-road

and separated bikeways, a coordinated transit system, parking, and amenities allow us

to enjoy a culture where the majority of daily trips include a bicycle. As a result,

our community is healthier and encourages balanced living within our resources.

Universal cycling education for all ages supports the development of safe and

respectful road behaviors from both motorists and cyclists. Widespread community

and political support for bicycling is in place. By 2040, because it is a cycling-centered

county, Santa Barbara is both a great place to live and work and a nationally acclaimed

cycling destination, boasting a year-round calendar of successful, fun, and inclusive

events.

COVER PHOTO BY JOHN ROUSSEAU. This young cyclist, riding at SB Bike’s 2013 East

Side Rides, is among the next generation of riders—the generation we’re advocating for.

Letter from the EditorA Dutch cyclist’s video recently decried US cycling

culture, pointing to a lack of both safety (US bikers are

thirty times more likely to get injured than their Dutch

counterparts) and understanding of what bicycling

could be. “Cycling doesn’t seem to be taken seriously,”

the Dutchman says. “People cycle on specific tracks and

not to get from A to B.”

He elaborates on a frightening lack of cycling

infrastructure and drivers without a clue how to

accommodate bikes, meaning that commuting is only for the brave. Bikers who do

cycle for transportation, he says, are forced to race heavy traffic with little to no

protection. The video longs for “a more relaxed variety [of cycling] with which more

people can identify.”

Two points struck me: (1) how diligently many are working toward Santa Barbara

becoming a biking community like the one this Dutch cyclist envisions and (2) how

imperative those efforts are. In this QR issue, read the words of community members

dedicated to activism and volunteerism; see a new law and a new lane and the growth

of biking culture among our youth and families; and learn about plans for infrastructure

to connect the South Coast. This is all groundwork – a frame on which the future of

SB’s biking culture is being built, a future where cycling is safe for everyone.

What the Dutch cyclist doesn’t point out in his video, perhaps because it seems

too obvious, is that when communities embrace cycling as a normal means of

transportation for all, they’re offering solutions, plural. Imagine the reduced carbon

footprint, imagine the improved health, imagine the liberation for families of limited

financial means, imagine the slowing down and the coming together.

Happy fall, happy activism, happy imagining!

Rock star Century

volunteer, Doris

Phinney, reminisces

on a long history of

cycling and supporter

fellow cyclists.

WHY VOLUNTEER?

For many years, the

Goleta Valley Cycling

Club put on the

People Powered Ride

in the Santa Ynez

Valley. We distributed

the profits from that ride to local bicycle organizations. The SB Century

is the perfect fit to pick up where the PPR ended. Our rest stop on East

Camino Cielo offers the most incredible views, and the riders who tackle

Gibraltar to get to our rest stop are very appreciative of our food offerings.

GVCC prides itself on serving up a variety of homemade foods, including

baked goods, salads, and fruit. We have enough volunteers to provide

friendly service and assistance to those who need it.

FAVORITE CENTURY MOMENT:

Having participated in many century rides, beginning in 1978 with my first

100-mile ride and also the first People Powered Ride, I’d have to say that

not having to wait in a long line for the restroom is one of my favorite

moments. Starting with the 1978 PPR and for several years after, very few

women rode centuries. The men had to wait in long lines; it always brought

a smile to my face. Of course, now lots of women ride centuries, and I’m

proud of that fact.

CENTURY VOLUNTEER BIKE LIGHT

It’s that time of year again! The fourth

annual Santa Barbara Century will

be held October 19, 2013. Three

rides—the 100-mile Century, the

100-kilometer Metric Century, and a

34-mile Foothill course—offer cyclists

gorgeous beach and mountain views

and a challenging ride (the climbs are

9,600 feet, 4,000 feet, and 2,200 feet

respectively). All net

proceeds from the

event will go to local

charities. To find out

ADVOCACY

Activism: Why Getting Involved Matters By Timbo Stillinger

The QR caught up with local cycling advocate

Timbo Stillinger to ask why advocacy is

meaningful to him and what we as biking

enthusiasts should prioritize when it comes to

advocating for our community. Here’s what

Stillinger had to say:

I love to bike. Whether

it’s bike commuting to

and from school, cruising

downtown to meet

friends, or mountain

biking on the Santa

Barbara trails, bicycling

is the best way for me

to travel around Santa

Barbara. Biking is fun,

it offers great exercise, and it is far better than

sitting in traffic or paying for gas. Because biking

is such an integral part of my life, advocating for

safer bike infrastructure is also very important to

me.

For me, the most important aspect of bike

infrastructure is improved bike safety through

smart street design. Well-designed streets at the

local level allow cyclists to feel safe and have fun

while biking. The current design of many roads

in Santa Barbara County creates situations that

place cyclists in danger, where a driver may hit

Three Feet to Protect BicyclistsA new law a long time in the

making has been passed in

California. AB 1371, signed by

Governor Jerry Brown in late

September, establishes the

“Three Feet for Safety Act,”

requiring drivers to provide

three feet between their

vehicle and cyclists or to slow

down if unable to do so. This

new law establishes fines for drivers who don’t give bikers the three feet,

higher for those in violation when involved in a collision.

The act has come to fruition after a seven-year campaign, “Give Me 3,”

when Assemblyman Pedro Nava began working on a safe passing law

to improve safety for the growing number of cyclists in the state and

five years after UCSB triathlete Kendra Payne was killed by a truck while

riding on Santa Barbara’s Gibraltar Road.

The law will come into effect in September 2014.

To read more about AB 1371, visit http://www.bicicentro.org/news?mode=PostView&bmi=1397195.

The “Three Feet for Safety Act,” is designed to protect cyclists from being crowded out by vehicles driving too close for comfort and safety.

For me, the most important aspect of bike infrastructure is improved bike safety through smart street design … I want to see Santa Barbara roads safe by design—and to see bike safety prioritized, instead of compromised.

them because there is no official bike lane. My goal for Santa Barbara

bike infrastructure is to develop roadways that give every type of user

ample space, therefore preventing bike–car conflicts. I want to see Santa

Barbara roads safe by design—and to see bike safety prioritized, instead

of compromised.

To act on my desire for

improved bike safety, I

have become involved in

the local transportation

planning processes by

attending city council

meetings and reviewing

road improvement

plans. I encourage Santa

Barbara cyclists to join

me in advocating for safe

cycling in our town—whether it be on the trails, in your neighborhood,

or commuting throughout the county. Bike safe and have fun!

Connecting the South CoastBy Ed France

Imagine stepping out from your door, hopping on your bike, and quickly getting into a safe, low-stress bikeway that gets you from

your neighborhood right to your destination, without having to mix in with any high-speed traffic. Your neighbors who previously

thought bicycling in town was “too dangerous” feel safe to hop on a bike for a trip to the closest frozen yogurt establishment. Kids

can access their schools, safe from the gauntlet of a.m. rush-hour traffic. An enjoyable ride with the whole family doesn’t require

a drive to the beach path, but starts from home. Imagine—a connected, safe, and comfortable South Coast bikeway network, of

layered bicycle boulevards, bike lanes, and the next generation of protected, separated bikeways.

This collective dream of many of us is realizable, and

other cities are leading the way. By making bike routes

not just for the die-hard cyclists (many of us reading right

now) but comfortable for anyone, bicycling can become

mainstream. The benefits are reduced congestion; living

within our resources; and healthy, happy Santa Barbarans.

The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition is working to make

this happen, by cataloging the current state of every

bicycle route in the South Coast, studying every last

existing bicycle path planning document, and forecasting

the various bicycle master plan efforts among our multiple

jurisdictions. SB Bike is looking for your input to help make

our vision whole. Together, we can then promote our

vision and its manifold benefits to the community at large,

and build support for our pedaling movement!

ADVOCACY

We asked. The city acted. As

of September 26, the busy,

one-way, east-west connector,

Haley Street (in front of Bici

Centro Headquarters) will be

safer for bicyclists, thanks to

a newly striped bike lane. A recent bike count found that

less than ten women and no children were biking on Haley,

which had no lane designated for bikes. As oft-touted by

bike safety advocates, women are the indicator species

for cycling. Hopefully, this new lane will help women and

children feel safer using this connector route.

Haley Lane!

6 Quick Release Fall 2013

One of Santa Barbara County’s primary

movers for sustainable transportation

solutions recently lauded SB Bike’s first

executive director, Ed France, for his work

toward its quest. Each year, the Coalition

for Sustainable Transportation (COAST)

selects “a person or organization that has

made significant strides” toward viable

solutions to receive its prestigious Barry

Siegel Award.

COAST points to France’s vision, ability

to inspire, and numerous achievements

through dedicated effort. Seven years

ago, France cofounded Santa Barbara

Bicycle Coalition’s well-loved DIY shop,

Bici Centro, where cyclists can find

affordable parts and qualified assistance

to repair their own bicycles, purchase

newly refurbished rides courtesy of the

shop’s many volunteers, and find a joyous

camaraderie built on shared passion and

effort. As COAST’s Caitlin Carlson says,

France and friends “created a financially sustainable social enterprise model

that addressed the lack of bike shops catering to low-income clients and to

those who wanted to ‘work-trade’ or ‘do-it-yourself.’”

Now, the shop is the home base for the coalition’s education and

community outreach. Over the years, SB Bike has taught numerous groups

(adults, children, families, work groups, and more) about all things cycling,

with classes ranging from traffic safety to cycling skills to bike repair and

maintenance. The coalition has hosted a range of outreach programs

for Latino cyclists, including an annual light

distribution, family days, and the Taller Móvil, a

mobile bike repair station.

And the coalition has upped its activism as

France leads members on a journey toward

fulfilling his passion for safe, sustainable

infrastructure that not only supports but

promotes a community made for cycling.

COAST cites France’s recent leadership of a

campaign to add bike lanes on Hollister Avenue

in Old Town Goleta. SB Bike recently asked the

city for a bike lane (and the city provided it)

that will improve safety on the city’s busy Haley

Street. The coalition is currently advocating for

infrastructure that will connect the South Coast.

And France is the man for the job. Writes

Carlson, “France has the gift of being both a

visionary leader and a capable facilitator. He is

extremely personable and friendly, and knows

how to inspire and mobilize people. He speaks

Spanish; he is a great bike mechanic, and a great

networker.”

Bike Culture at SB High

A look inside Santa Barbara High School’s Bike Club (SBici) is a great way to

see the shift happening in our county—from vehicular transportation to a

growing bike culture based on sustainability and community.

SBici is a service group that fixes up bikes for kids who don’t have bikes. “We

take donations [to SB Bike] and work on those donated dead bikes,” explains

SB Bike liaison Mike Vergeer. (Junior high students who participate in SB Bike’s

earn-a-bike safety, skills, and maintenance program, Pedal Power, are the

recipients of these refurbished rides.)

Club members earn community service hours. “And after

they pour in a bunch of service hours, they get a chance

to earn a bike themselves,” notes Vergeer. They can

customize and paint their rides, decking them out with

nice parts and their own style. Members also participate

in bike education classes and bike valet for community

events.

The club has its own shop on the high school campus—

the former auto shop hub. SB Bike volunteers cleaned

up and refurbished the space, which is located at

the school’s Nopal Street entrance next to the MAD

academy.

Vergeer and fellow SB Bike board member Byron Beck are the co-liaisons for

the coalition, and Lee Knodel, lovingly known as “Ms. B,” who directs Dons Net

Cafe, a wide-reaching youth service group, is the faculty advisor. This year’s SBici

president is Sergio Garcia.

SBici meets every Thursday from 3–4:30 p.m. Any student can join.

Community members who are interested in supporting the club can contact

Vergeer at mvergeer@yahoo.com. The club’s current needs are (1) a water

dispenser, (2) a speaker system that can be plugged into an iPod or computer, (3)

snacks, or (4) community members who’d be interested in joining the club for

group rides.

Once high schoolers from SB High’s bike club put in the hours to fix bikes for younger cyclists, they’ll have the opportunity to earn and stoke out their own trusty steeds. PHOTO BY CHRISTINE BOURGEOIS.

Juan Castillo is

fifty-three and rides

to live and lives to

ride. In 2003, he

listened to his primary

care physician tell

him that he was

overweight, had high

cholesterol and high

blood pressure, and

unless he changed his diet and started exercising, he’d

be a diabetic within three years. Juan believed his doctor

but didn’t know what to do. His wife and family loved him

by feeding him the food he loved. In July 2006, he was

diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. He knew he had to make a

change from his couch potato lifestyle, but what and how?

He remembered the Fuji bike that he’d gotten for American

Express points and never ridden. Juan started riding—at

first short distance, but soon he was riding longer and

longer distances with the encouragement of family,

friends, and fellow riders in the Santa Barbara area. Last

year, Juan rode the eight-mile Tour de Cure course in the

pouring rain. Crossing the finish line with the cheers of

hundreds of dedicated supporters in his ears was the most

moving moment of his life. It still brings tears to his eyes to

remember the ride of (for) his life.

Help Light the Night As the time change approaches and darkness falls earlier and earlier (often during cyclists’ commute home) SB Bike’s Spanish Language Outreach Committee is preparing for the second annual Iluminando La Noche. Over the course of five evenings from November 4 to 8, the committee hopes to hand out 700 sets (1,400 lights) to help low-income cyclists become more visible.

To help hand out lights and interview cyclists (one resource SB Bike uses to guide its activism arm toward meeting the cycling community’s needs), contact Carmen Lozano at www.bicicentro.org/

BICI SHOP

From Cobwebs … Hooked on VolunteeringBy Gary Cook

The QR asked one of Bici Centro’s regular, dedicated

volunteers, Gary Cook: What does volunteering at Bici Centro

mean to you—what do you receive from this work and why

would you encourage others to join the Bici volunteer crew?

Here’s what Cook had to say:

I started volunteering sometime last fall at Bici Centro on

Tuesday volunteer nights. Everybody has his or her own

reasons for volunteering, like giving back to the community,

learning new skills, creating new friendships, or gaining a

sense of personal satisfaction. For me, it’s all that. Plus, I just

like to work on bikes.

I can even remember my job that first day. After a brief chat

and introduction to the shop, Ed [France, SB Bike executive

director] says to me, “Here is a bike that was literally rescued

from the landfill and needs a little work. You can work on

that.”

I turned around and saw an old ten-speed bike with dead

weeds woven through the spokes, rusty handlebars without

tape, gears filled with cobwebs (along with a few diehard

spiders), and a chain so rusty it wouldn’t bend.

Seriously? Are you kidding me? There was a reason it was

junked, you know. But I’ ll give it a shot.

After three hours of scrubbing, degreasing, new brakes,

cables, tires, chain, and some fresh oil here and there, I had

transformed this hunk of scrap metal into an acceptable ride.

Admiring the transformation, I knew I was hooked and have

been coming back nearly every Tuesday since then.

Gary Cook, wrenching at one of Bici’s Tuesday volunteer nights.

The Bici Centro Community Bike Shop runs on the power of volunteers. The

shop crew is a dedicated group of skilled mechanics who work with Bici’s

diverse population of cyclists and deal with all kinds of major and minor repairs.

If you love to fix bikes and work with people who are learning to fix their own

bikes, Bici Centro is the place for you!

End of Year Appeal

You Can Help Build a South Coast Bikeable for All!It’s been a good year for active transportation.

We discovered that bicycling on the South Coast has

continued to grow, doubling in mode share proportion since

2005: 6.9 percent mode share Woot! Woot! The governor

signed a three-foot passing distance law for cyclists. The

Eastside in SB and Old Town Goleta are both moving forward

on long neglected bicycle facilities.

Both sides of our

county are now

getting connected

by bikeways. Santa

Maria launched a

bike path bridge

over the SM River

connecting to SLO

County. Similarly,

you will be able to

ride to Ventura—in this year—for the first time in fifty years

without riding on the freeway, thanks to the Rincon to Mussel

Shoals bike route.

Perhaps even more importantly, the Santa Barbara Bicycle

Coalition is preparing to develop a comprehensive vision

that will not only represent all the input of our members and

partners but that we will have the resources to advocate for

and the ability to achieve. Santa Barbara is tired of taking a

backseat while other communities become leaders in livable,

bikeable, healthy and safe places to live. It’s our turn. It’s our

time.

We’ve been able to build a thriving community center

around bicycling. We’ve been able to establish a nationally

recognized education program throughout our county

schools—all this in just a few years. It’s time to turn our

focus to the infrastructure we need to meet the demand of

a growing bicycling population. We’ve taken advantage of

a great summer internship program to set the stage for a

strong multiyear advocacy effort. With your support, as part

of our end of year appeal, we will meet a financial match

to establish a winning campaign effort and achieve a Santa

Barbara South Coast bikeable for all! NOW IS OUR TIME!

Santa Barbara is tired of taking a backseat while other communities become leaders in livable, bikeable, healthy and safe places to live. It’s our turn. It’s our time.
