I mean, I rode around Ocean Beach when I was in grade school, but I wasn't good at it and it sure wasn't fun. I just wanted to be able to do whatever the boys could do better, and the boys were riding bikes. Me, I rode horses, was obsessed by horses, had no fear no matter how ornery the horse was. I would slave away cleaning stalls all day long just to get the chance to ride for an hour for as long as I remember. My mom was a single mom and struggled to give me opportunities to be around horses. I remember her taking me to Poway stables when I was around 7, first just to ride a rental horse for an hour every-other weekend. Later, dropping me off early in the morning and picking me up after dark. I didn't realize that I was a 'good' rider, I just knew that if I got a chance to get on a horse or pony, I wasn't coming off for fear that the owners wouldn't let me try again if I fell, lol. This young girls obsession grew as did my abilities. I was on the smaller side, so could train ponies so the barn owners I worked for could sell them to rich parents for their spoiled children to show. I realized that I could use this to my advantage, I bought my first 'project' horse when I was just 14 for $200 and sold him <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1269021018" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">6 months later</span></span> for $2000. Thus my career as a horse trainer began.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt;"><u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

My son started mountain biking when he was 12, started getting serious about it about a year or so later. I was a great shuttle mom, but wanted more. I wanted to ride something that didn't try to throw me off, so I got an older Stumpjumper. I was terrible, lol. But dang, did I look the part thanks to being a great shuttle mom for 2 years and hanging out with a bunch of great DH guys and gals. I got a little better, emphasis on little, met this really great guy who lived and breathed for anything on two wheels. My life has never been the same, and I haven’t looked back.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt;"><u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 19.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt;">Needless to say, based on my extensive DH foundation (ie rad shuttle mama who occasionally kept the rubber side down) there was no way I was EVER going to ride a road bike. They are lame, and the outfits even lamer. Well, remember that guy I told you about? He loves to ride and I love him, so… his enthusiasm rubbed off. He got his hands on a loaner bike, an old carbon/aluminum trek that was too big and had come straight out of the late 90’s. My first ride I was decked out in my Fox MTB shorts, t-shirt, FiveTens, and cross country helmet. It surprised the hell out of me that I had fun, even though I was terrified of the twitchy bike with skinny tires, cars that came way too close, and the thought of wearing spandex in public in a decade other than the 80’s.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt;"><u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

Once Branden realized I was actually going to stick with riding, he began plotting a way to get me a bike. One that wouldn’t kill my back, that would fit my vertically challenged frame, and that I wouldn’t look at and say it was ‘lame’. He bombarded me with magazines, showing me pictures of different styles of roadbikes. Discussing the benefits of Shimano vs SRAM, eTap vs DI2, the high cost of Campi. Then one day it happened, I saw the bike I wanted last fall. It was rad, had tall tires and DISC brakes! Yes, real brakes! Not those silly ones that squeeze the side of the rim, how in the hell is that going to stop you in a pinch? I have giant rotors on my MTB, waaay bigger than I will ever need, just the way I like it J I had convinced Branden, he thought building a randonneur for me would be cool, but how did we convince the king of all roadies that it was a good idea?! During this same timeframe, both Joe and Branden had titanium Seven Axioms built with the idea that they would double as demo bikes for the shop. Brandens bike was equipped with Shimano Dura Ace and Joes was set up with SRAM eTap. Joes intentions with running eTap was to discredit it as garbage. Joe is such a hardcore roadie that all he would run is Campi, like any true roadie would. After the bikes arrived and were built up, Joe started to wonder if maybe SRAM had something with this eTap groupo, it was ridiculously easy to get set up. Then they went on their first ride and Joe said ‘Campi who’? Suddenly Mr. Roadie was open to the idea of building a 650b randonneur with disc brakes for me, not only open to it, excited about it.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt;"><u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 19.2pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I worked with our Rep at Seven to design not only the perfect build, for me, but a rad paint scheme. The waiting for the bike was the hardest part of this journey, lol! Finally Beauty arrives, well over 200 miles later this lady is officially a ‘cyclist’ J I truly believe that if you are comfortable on a bike that fits you correctly, ANYONE can put down some seriously fun miles in whichever discipline you prefer. Who knows, you may even turn into a roadie too ;)"</span></span></div>

Basically, a bicycle kitchen is a place you can work on your bike and use tools for free. A bicycle kitchen is not the same thing as a bike shop. We will not do your repairs for you, and we don’t (generally) sell bikes, parts, or tools. Instead, a bicycle kitchen is a unique environment created by the bicycle community designed to support people who want to get out of their cars and onto their bikes!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;">Cycling is incredibly beneficial
for your health and a pretty fast method of traveling short distances. It is
also an eco-friendly way to travel, as it does not pollute the environment.
Therefore, it is a good idea to cycle for short distances to work, to the
stores, or for some outdoor adventure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;">It is unfortunate that there
have recently been several accidents involving bicycles. A lot of them usually
end in fatalities, especially where a vehicle is involved. However, most of
these accidents can be prevented. Below are some easy safety practices to avoid
cycling accidents. Follow these tips, and you won’t have to look for </span><a href="https://www.dunkleyinjurylaw.com/henderson-bicycle-accident-lawyer/"><span style="color: #1155cc;">a personal injury lawyer.</span></a><o:p></o:p></div>
<h2>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_rgm49hxrbjqh"></a>Cycling Safety Tips<span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_pihcm8tg28fu"></a>1.
Follow Traffic Laws<o:p></o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;">Everyone is subjected to similar
traffic laws whether riding, driving, or walking. You must obey all the laws
while cycling. Start with the basics such as stopping at the red lights and
following all other road signs. You should also ride in the right lane depending
on the regulations of your state. Moreover, avoid using pedestrian walkways as
you may end up hitting the pedestrians. If you have to ride on the pedestrian
lanes, ride slowly, and ring a bell to get the pedestrians out of the way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_99z5fi7mewbl"></a>2.
Make Use of a Helmet<o:p></o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;">You should always have a safety
helmet on whenever you are cycling. It protects your head from fatal head
injuries. When choosing your helmet, make sure it fits you well. Fasten the
helmet properly on the head and ensure that it does not choke you while riding
your bike. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_uzuwcr6a1npr"></a>3. Use
Reflectors and Rear Lights<o:p></o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;">Reflectors and rear lights warn
other road users that you are also on the road especially at night. It is not
advisable to ride your bike on a busy road at night. If you have to, ensure
that you wear a reflective jacket for enhanced safety. Moreover, carry a torch
just in case your lights fail to work or have to stop by the side of the road.
Nevertheless, riding on the side of the lane (the slower side) at night to
avoid being hit by a driver that may not be careful or is driving while
intoxicated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_gyvxm6qvr9uo"></a>4.
Avoid Listening to Music<o:p></o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;">Many youths find it fun to ride
when listening to blasting music with earphones plugged in. When you go out for
a bicycle ride, ensure that you are entirely focused on the road to avoid
accidents. Listening to music will prevent you from attending to events around
you. You should hear a car hooting from your behind or see a dog cross the road
and anything else that matters to you on the road<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_iu4njv9nc0p4"></a>5.
Ride at the right speed<o:p></o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;">Riding at very high speed gives
you the thrill. However, it is for a good reason that the riding competitions
are done on designated roads. If you are riding on a busy road, limit your
speed to avoid bumping into other people. It is also great practice to check if
your brakes are good and that the tires have the right pressure. A combination
of proper tire pressure and working breaks may save you in times of accidents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;">Your safety on the road depends
on your preparedness, concentration, and obedience to the traffic laws.
Moreover, being courteous to other road users also prevents several fatalities.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<i>By Andy Hanshaw, Executive Director</i><br />
<br />
I’m honored and privileged to have the opportunity in my position here at the Bike Coalition to occasionally attend a local, national and in this case international conference where my colleagues in bicycle advocacy, planning and governance come together to share best practices so we can all learn and be inspired to continue our work to improve bicycling safety and the overall quality of life in our own communities. I<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>recently traveled to Vancouver, BC to attend the Pro Walk/Pro Bike/Pro Place Conference. <u></u><u></u></div>

Not only by the creative and successful stories from leaders that I heard from but more importantly by the city I visited, Vancouver, British Columbia. A strikingly beautiful city surrounded by water and urban parks and a transportation network that moves some 2 ½ million residents around so efficiently. Riding my bike to get around was easy, safe and quick and it was clear to me that city leaders and planners<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>there place a high priority on bicycling as a primary mode of transportation. What I experienced is what we are striving for here, a connected and protected system of bike lanes that get you safely to the places you need to go whether that be your office, home, restaurants, shops, museums or parks. It’s all right there and as I learned, it’s been an incredible success story for the city to achieve and exceed their own bicycle mode share goals. In simple terms, in Vancouver, they aim to get more people biking, walking or taking transit than driving in their city and that’s exactly what’s happening. In fact, Vancouver has already reached the goal of 50% of their citizens commuting by biking, walking or transit years ahead of schedule. Amazing. <u></u><u></u></div>

We often say when we talk about bicycle advocacy and safe infrastructure, “If we build it, they will come”. Well, that’s more than a cliché, it’s the truthful reality I saw in Vancouver that’s also taking place in major American cities across our own country. Our plans here<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>are in motion, Downtown Mobility, Uptown, North Park-Mid City and more but it’s time to get these projects built and get more people riding now. Not only to achieve our own <i>Climate Action Plan</i> goals of 6% bicycle mode share by 2020 and 18% by 2035 but to make San Diego a truly world class destination for everyone of <i>all ages and abilities</i> to enjoy by bicycling and walking. Until these projects that include their own networks of protected bike lanes are in place, we will be continuing to fall behind cities who are attracting Millennials and a workforce that wants to live in vibrant cities where they can get around without a car. It’s time to get moving San Diego and take action on implementation of our local and regional bike networks. We CAN get there and we know when it’s built, they will come. </div>

<br />
The second annual Kerry’s Ride Home took place on January 30th. Typically, this event is a two-day event, with overnight camping halfway through the ride. However, El Nino had other plans in mind. With promised rain and heavy winds for Sunday, we decided to change our agenda ahead of time. With a day full of sunshine on Saturday, we were able to have a fit in many awesome miles.<br />
<br />
We gathered at 9 a.m. at the San Juan Capistrano train station. Many of us took the early Amtrak with our bicycles on board.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMbtgQF544CCyidQl7KQf2_yExun69yR6adW0Mg1VVdoCtan8lsObXN8m4Dm-ZTqm3nef27GmNhtiUU1A3HVHGX3UtpsbJMaKs0JoDaASND0AzvJ8wRCFHMSNlNzfGsH3xLgtGaQXANg/s1600/Kerry%2527sRideGroupPhoto.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMbtgQF544CCyidQl7KQf2_yExun69yR6adW0Mg1VVdoCtan8lsObXN8m4Dm-ZTqm3nef27GmNhtiUU1A3HVHGX3UtpsbJMaKs0JoDaASND0AzvJ8wRCFHMSNlNzfGsH3xLgtGaQXANg/s320/Kerry%2527sRideGroupPhoto.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
We started off with introductions. We met Kerry’s family and friends, who supported the entire ride with the van full of snacks and supplies. After quickly reviewing the agenda and going over some important safety information, we set off!<br />
<br />
Just a couple streets over leaving the train station, we were able to hop on the river trail just for pedestrians and cyclists. It was a leisurely pace, enjoying the early morning. After about 9 miles, we hit our first stop – for coffee of course!<br />
<br />
We loaded up on caffeine and pastries and had a makeshift picnic in the parking lot next to our bikes.<br />
<br />
We departed our San Clemente pit stop and kept meandering down the 101, usually treated with gorgeous views of the Pacific.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisl2Wuw_RoXH3qhgIGxm_C9jScQ7zLc10sWRBN2tYq5XWgjlik9GXNZYwXHYk-y0oNzb7r-Gf36OdINuD-P83UVbA3K-ana2R5IdienEbCHwPPvhcgf_JLw-6GT3OMq5xRVZ9NWrmMLw/s1600/IMG_2957.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisl2Wuw_RoXH3qhgIGxm_C9jScQ7zLc10sWRBN2tYq5XWgjlik9GXNZYwXHYk-y0oNzb7r-Gf36OdINuD-P83UVbA3K-ana2R5IdienEbCHwPPvhcgf_JLw-6GT3OMq5xRVZ9NWrmMLw/s320/IMG_2957.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
We all checked in together before entering Camp Pendleton to make sure we had everyone accounted for – and everyone had their ID’s on them.<br />
<br />
We enjoyed the quieter roads of Camp Pendleton! After exiting on the sound end, we rounded the troops to make our executive decision. Carlsbad Pizza Port to Solana Beach Pizza Port? Very tough decisions to make, I know. We were hungry enough to go for the closer one!<br />
<br />
With one leg to go to the finish, we eagerly zoomed down the last Oceanside bit with pizza and beer in our minds.<br />
<br />
One by one, the participants rolled up to happily finish the awesome ride. Some first-timers were particulary ecstatic – it was their longest ride to date! We were so proud to be with them for that moment.<br />
<br />
We ordered the goods and sat all together and we all made a few remarks. At this point, people were dispering to their individual plans. Some people decided to brave the weather and camp anyway. Some people were biking to the next Pizza Port and then take the train. We all decided Kerry would be proud of our impromptu Tour-de-Pizza Port!<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do you remember your first bicycle or your first bicycle ride? On Saturday December 12th, the Bike Coalition held a special Bike Rodeo and helped lots of volunteers give away bicycles to third graders in the Chula Vista Elementary School District. For many of these children, it was their first bike and their first time riding a bicycle. For some children, the bicycle may be the only gift they receive, according to Nancy Kerwin, the District’s Executive Director for Student, Family and Community Services, who coordinates the event. </span><br />
<div mce_style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0;color:#000000;font-family:Times;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;margin:0 0 11.3px;margin-top:0;min-height:16px;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-indent:0;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0" style="margin-bottom: 11.3px; min-height: 16px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Employees and volunteers distributed more than 250 bicycles on Saturday. District employees and other volunteers assembled the bicycles prior to the Giveaway. Many also returned on Saturday to help adjust seats and fit the bikes to the third-grade students who received them. It was all part of CVESD's partnership with the “Bikes for Kids Foundation,” an annual bike giveaway now in its eighth year in Chula Vista. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For the last five years, the students who received the bikes participated in a “Bike Rodeo” by the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition. This year over one hundred students learned proper riding techniques and safety tips. More than twenty students learned to ride at the Bike Rodeo even though it was their first time to actually ride a bicycle! There were no training wheels and some kids were wobbly but excited. Coalition board member Randy Van Vleck offered praise and encouragement along with a helping hand to teach balance and riding skills. Joy spread across the faces of parents and children after gaining an ability to balance on a two-wheeled bike! Some kids already knew how to ride so they maneuvered through an obstacle course set up in the parking lot of the ESSC. Michelle Luellen of the Bike Coalition coordinated the Rodeo. Juan Antonio Ramirez provided instruction to many children.</span></div>

We were quite a sight to see, as we casually rode up 6th avenue, through Hillcrest via University, and back down on Park Blvd.<br /><br />We spent the rest of the evening treated to music and food as we listened to a great presentation by Andy. He reviewed the highlights and milestones from 2015, and handed out the 2015 Golden Gear Awards - those who have gone above and beyond in the name of bicycling.</div>

We started
our company a few years ago after taking up cycling and being totally frustrated
by the lack of cute, comfortable cycle clothing options in the market. It seemed like most women’s jerseys fit like
poorly re-sized men’s jerseys; uncomfortable and unflattering. We thought it was time for a change; time to
make room for a new type of cyclewear - designed by women, for women. We wanted to create fun, comfortable,
functional cyclewear for everyone – from cycling beginners to casual riders to
advanced, seasoned veterans.<br />

Finally we road tested, made
some adjustments, and began production – all here in the US. We’ve been selling our jerseys online (<a href="http://www.floravelo.com/">www.floravelo.com</a>) and at cycling events for
about 2 years now, and we’ve been amazed at the wonderful response we’ve
received. Our jerseys are also available
in a few retail locations, including CycleQuest here in San Diego. In addition, we recently began offering
custom jerseys for cycling tours and riding groups.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> FloraVelo jerseys have several unique features, but the most
popular is our combination cell phone pocket and “hidden” key/ID pocket.</span> </span> Those two pockets, along with our two large
back pockets, allow you to take just about everything with you when you ride. And our jerseys are not just for riding… you’ll also see them out running, hiking,
kayaking, playing tennis, traveling – this is not your typical cycling jersey!<o:p></o:p></div>

We hope to see more at our next one, November 24th.<br />
We meet at Frazee Beach at 6PM to do a 3-4 mile social ride then get tacos! The monthly taco Tuesday ride will repeat every last Tuesday of the month and visit different Mexican restaurants in the Village.<br />
<br />
This month was the Halloween edition, with costumes! The Nite Rider lights provided ample visiblity for the person riding the bike and people driving cars. Thanks to <a href="http://ncfamilybicycles.com/" target="_blank">North County Family Bicycles </a>for the continuing support.<br />

Walk + Bike is a partnership led by the <a href="http://www.carlsbadca.gov/" target="_blank">City of Carlsbad</a>, <a href="http://www.circulatesd.org/" target="_blank">Circulate San Diego</a> and the <a href="http://sdbikecoalition.org/" target="_blank">San Diego County Bicycle Coalition</a> to promote walking and
biking around Carlsbad, with a special focus on the downtown Village and
surrounding areas. The 12-month campaign is funded by a grant from the
San Diego Association of Governments and includes events, outreach to
schools, business promotions and other activities to get more people
walking and biking instead of driving on short trips around town. For

Walk + Bike is a partnership led by the <a href="http://www.carlsbadca.gov/" target="_blank">City of Carlsbad</a>, <a href="http://www.circulatesd.org/" target="_blank">Circulate San Diego</a> and the <a href="http://sdbikecoalition.org/" target="_blank">San Diego County Bicycle Coalition</a> to promote walking and
biking around Carlsbad, with a special focus on the downtown Village and
surrounding areas. The 12-month campaign is funded by a grant from the
San Diego Association of Governments and includes events, outreach to
schools, business promotions and other activities to get more people
walking and biking instead of driving on short trips around town. For

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">San
Diego County has 115 operational brewhouses and I love beer! I moved
to UTC four years ago when the scene was starting to get really big in nearby
Miramar, and I thought it was just awesome that I could check out
industry icons like Alesmith and Green Flash right at the source and just
a few minutes ride away. Now I'm trying to add all the county's
breweries to my visited list, but they open so fast I'm always about 10 shy!
Checking out a new location for a flight is a perfect excuse to take a 10
or 20 or 50 mile ride. I've biked as far as Oceanside, Poway, and Barrio
Logan for a taste! I'm also a huge fan of events like Bikes and Beers and
the Tour de Fat, I just love how this city celebrates my passions the way I
do. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I never ride
anything other than a mountain bike even though these days about 99% of the
riding I do is on roads. I like the freedom it gives me to take
spontaneous short cuts or scenic detours off the asphalt (I love the Sewer
Trail bypass of Torrey Pines!), and I definitely appreciate the extra
defensive maneuverability I get in hairy traffic situations. Plus, all
that extra weight turns my daily commute into a nice little workout... </span><o:p></o:p></div>

I'm a brutally minimalistic kind of personality and I'm notorious for rejecting

butt off it again.</span><span style="color: #1f497d;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Steve's commitment to the bicycle industry began by working for a bicycle shop straight out of college as he pondered what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. Loving bikes and after racing in all types of categories from BMX, downhill, and triathlon, Steve moved into management and held a senior sale position at Giant bicycles helping grow that company into a leading bicycle brand. He later helped launch TERN Bicycles, the only bicycle brand to launch worldwide at inception, rolling out in 28 countries simultaneously. Today, through a collaborative international development process, the company is bringing exciting product innovation to market. Beyond winning many product design awards for their bicycles, the team has been acknowledged to have invented many exciting bicycle accessories including the phone mount category, the first phone recharge kit that works off a wheel hub, an integrated seat post pump, added a multi-use tool into t he handlebar grip, and much more. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. SDCBC: Okay, let's dive right in! How do you best describe a TERN Bike?</b></span><br />
<b>Steve</b>: It's pretty simple. It's all about the ride. Once you've tried them you'll know what I mean and we have several product patents that help deliver that point of difference. Getting the ride right includes having many gearing feature configuration options with high quality components to match your needs and price points. Then it’s about the looks. We set out to make a great riding bike that looks great, and folds. We don’t think you have to sacrifice anything to have a great bicycle that you can take everywhere. <br />

<b>Elayne</b>: I summarize it by saying, Tern bicycles provide a general transportation, commuter, and fitness cycling solution that folds down into a lightweight, compact, easy-to-carry package fitting easily into office, mass transit, car, boat, RV, home storage or in a suitcase on a plane. And they look fantastic! This is the one I ride most often when enjoying quick fitness rides up and down the north county coastline.</div>

Really anyone that can ride a bike can ride a Tern. In fact, sometimes it’s easier to learn how to ride a bike on a Tern because you can lower the saddle and easily touch the ground when learning, and stopping and starting.</div>
<div>
Tern bikes adjust to fit most-sized riders. <b>Tern bicycles also offer a wide variety of wheel and tire options to suit most all terrain.</b><br />

The City of San Diego’s Bike Program, in the Transportation and Storm Water Department, added a fleet of Tern Link P7i Bicycles to help with the implementation of bike facilities identified in the City’s new Bicycle Master Plan. The staff will use the bikes to get into the environment at street level to assess and document facility conditions, which is a key requirement as they design new and improve existing facilities. The bikes give staff the proper perspective on road conditions, street structure, space allocation, placement of signs, and cross visibility that was not as easy to achieve in a car or walking, and to access areas that cars are not allowed.</div>

Tern bicycles have been used by the logistics team at Car2Go to strategically move cars around the city during the high-use period during Comic Con; the largest convention of the year in San Diego. In addition, Car2Go brand ambassadors pedaled Tern bicycles around the city to promote the Car2Go eco-friendly system. Tern bicycles easily fit in the back of the compact Car2Go vehicles.<br />

Dear Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition is writing in
response to the action taken by the Council at its September 15, 2015 meeting
and your decision to suspend further bicycle safety markings that were
previously approved. As advocates for bicycle safety throughout the San Diego
Region, we are very concerned about the impact that this decision may have on
not only the residents of Coronado but the hundreds of thousands of visitors
who come to the city and ride their bikes there; whether for transportation or
recreational purposes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Coronado is a beautiful city that offers a very enjoyable riding
experience for everyone. On any given day, one can witness dozens of families
riding along many of the wide, comfortable bike lanes and paths that have been
in place or were recently implemented as part of the Coronado Bicycle Master
Plan. A plan that seeks to increase ridership and reduce the negative
environmental and traffic impacts of automobiles. The plan will also increase
opportunities for active, healthy living in the city and perhaps most
importantly improve the overall quality of life for residents and
visitors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We believe this is a good plan
and we applauded the city for recently taking action to implement the elements
of the plan. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So why stop now based on the concerns of a few who seemed to
be more concerned with the visual look of bike lanes rather than the actual
safety that they provide?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
unimaginable to think that the city would take steps to decrease the safety of
its citizens based on this recent action largely due to the comments that were
presented related to the aesthetics of the safety markings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The City of Coronado recently applied for and received
funding for a Safe Routes to School outreach and education campaign that we are
very pleased to be partnering with you on. Through this effort, we should be
able to teach bicycle safety to thousands of elementary and middle school
children in Coronado. Ironically, it is estimated that some 60-70% of school
kids are already biking to school. An incredible number that the city should
take pride in; yet this recent decision could compromise any further efforts to
improve safety for those riding to school.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are asking you to please reconsider your actions of the
September 15<sup>th</sup> meeting and continue your previous efforts that were
making Coronado a safer, more accessible and bicycle-friendly community which
is deserving of its Silver designation of the League of American Bicyclists.
This recent action could not only damage Coronado’s impression for attracting
bicyclists but other cities across the region. We strive to make San Diego
County one of the safest and best places for anyone to bicycle and we ask you
to join us in helping us achieve that vision. We welcome the opportunity to
work together with you and hope that you understand the value and importance
for the safety of all who live, work and play in Coronado.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>1. SDCBC</b>: <b>What part of San Diego do you live in, Bicycle Mum?</b></span><br /><b>Bicycle Mum:</b> We are currently living in Eastlake, Chula Vista. We only arrived here in November last year, so we are newbies and still learning our way around, which is code for getting lost regularly! Haha! It is so beautiful here and looking out my window every morning seeing bikers and hikers going through the trails in the mountains, I am just really grateful that we get an opportunity to live in such a wonderful outdoor-loving area with the best weather for being outside! it really reminds me of where I grew up in Australia. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">2. SDCBC: Tell us about Bike to School Day!</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Bicycle Mum:<span style="color: blue;"> </span></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we arrived at our school here in Chula Vista, I approached the principal with the idea of running a Bike To School Day on National Bike To School Day on Wednesday 6th of May. He was all for it and basically just told me to run with it. So of course I did. I approached a bunch of bike related companies and organisations for sponsorship and help, thinking that I would get a few stickers and some small trinkets, and they ended up sending me more than I ever could have imagined! These kids got some MAJOR swag - just for doing the very thing that kids should be doing every day - biking, walking, scooting, skating and having a great time going to school.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We currently have bike racks for 24 bikes at school, and we filled those and then a good section of the black-top. It was awesome! I had expected around 50 kids to participate, but instead we got nearly 300!!! It was incredible and the kids had so much fun! So this year I have organised 10 Bike To School Days throughout the year, as well as a Bike Rodeo which is coming up next Friday. Then we are holding a bike maintenance workshop for the kids and parents on a Saturday soon, so that we can all learn together the basics of bike up-keep. I have a lot to learn, too, so it will be great! I also have plans of regular Bike Trains out of the surrounding neighbourhoods and just really really want kids to enjoy coming to school outside, the way we used to when we were kids. I remember walking to school in elementary school and walking beside a golf course in the mornings with kangaroos everywhere feeding on the cool morning grass. I know that kids here will not see that, but when I asked the little kids what they saw when they came to school on their walk or ride, they told me about the bugs, the lizards and the flowers. You can not see that or experience that or smell that if you are in a car for less than 1 mile to school.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">3. SDCBC: What kinds of errands do you run by bike?</span></b><br /><b>Bicycle Mum</b>: I do just about everything by bike. At Christmas
I have gotten our tree in my bike trailer, I do supermarket runs, filling a grocery
cart and then freaking the bagger out when instead of delivering the cart to my
car, they deliver it to my bike. Haha! The look on their face is
priceless! <br />
Last year in May, my older son broke his arm
whilst we were still in the Netherlands, and therefore he could not ride his
bike, so I borrowed a bakfiets (box-bike, it has a large box in the front for
kids and loads) from a friend and I hauled both my kids and all their gear too
and from school everyday, as well as shopping, events and local activities. I
didn't want to give that bike back, it has to be the
most practical bike ever built! My one regret is that I did not
buy one in the Netherlands before we left. Sometimes riding a bike is
faster, and 99.9% of the time it is of course, much less stressful than
driving.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
When we arrived here into the US from Europe,
our car took a few months to arrive, so we chose a house within a 4-mile radius
of the Olympic Training Center and a 20-mile radius of my husband's work. That
also meant that we are very close to all the major shopping that we need, so
that has been really helpful. My 11yr old son was training at Chula Vista BMX 3
times a week, so I would load my 5yr old and all the BMX gear into the bike
trailer, and off we would go to his nightly training sessions. My husband also
commutes to work ever day by bike, he has been doing this for most of our
married life and obviously before. It is a great way for him to let off the
"steam" of the day and also a way for him to stay in shape to both
keep up with our kids and also race in the races that he has an opportunity to
enter throughout the year wherever we are. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
We really live our lives no different to most
Dutch families in the Netherlands, but here, our choice of lifestyle, seems
strange to most, but that has never bothered us though and we don't plan on
changing any time soon.</span></div>

in doing more activities and errands by bike?</span><br />Bicycle Mum:</b> Find a comfortable bike and if you find one that
is not quite right, then modify it. Honestly, 99% of the time you will not be
able to walk into a bike shop and buy a bike that is completely perfect for the
purpose that you want it for. Everyone has adjustments that they need to make,
things to add to the bike, things to take off, and sometimes you just need to
tweak things. My husband is all about "light and fast" and I am all
about practical and simple. I have water cages and a coffee holder on my
bike, because coffee is SUPER important too me! I have ergo hand
grips that support my wrists. I have a dog harness on my bike so that my
dog can run with me everywhere and I always have the bike trailer attached. I
have had the same bike and trailer for 12yrs, and it has gotten so much use! My
husband built it up for me when I was pregnant with our oldest son, and I rode
it until I couldn't thow my leg over it anymore. My bike is old, heavy and
ugly, she is called "The Tank" for that reason, but I love her, and she
is perfect (right now) for what I need to do with her, and yes - she is a girl.

accessory?</span><br />
</b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Bicycle Mum: </b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My favourite and most useful has to be the
Burley bike trailer (and second is the coffee holder). I honestly do not know
what we would do without it? We have taken it around the world with us and used
it as a stroller and also as a trailer. It is the most practical accessory
I have use I think. If my kids are not in it, their stuff is! It always
has a First Aid kit, bike repair kit, extra water, travel bowl for the pooch,
frisbee, tennis ball, locks and miscellaneous "stuff". I also
throw my backpack into it, so it generally weighs quite a lot to begin with!
hahaha Typical mum, it is more like a large rolling handbag than anything
else! hahaha</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The following op-ed written by the Coalition's Executive
Director Andy</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Hanshaw calls for bike infrastructure that protects
the environment </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">points to support for Mayor Faulconer and the City
Council's Climate Action Plan goals.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It
calls for action to fulfill already-funded bike projects included in the
Regional Bike Plan and a plan to "Resurface/Repurpose" for changing
our streets to safely accomodate biking and walking while we repair them under
the Mayor's plan.</span></div>

Walk + Bike is a partnership led by the <a href="http://www.carlsbadca.gov/" target="_blank">City of Carlsbad</a>, <a href="http://www.circulatesd.org/" target="_blank">Circulate San Diego</a> and the <a href="http://sdbikecoalition.org/" target="_blank">San Diego County Bicycle Coalition</a> to promote walking and
biking around Carlsbad, with a special focus on the downtown Village and
surrounding areas. The 12-month campaign is funded by a grant from the
San Diego Association of Governments and includes events, outreach to
schools, business promotions and other activities to get more people
walking and biking instead of driving on short trips around town. For
more information, visit <a href="http://www.carlsbadca.gov/walkbike" target="_blank">www.carlsbadca.gov/walkbike</a>. </div>

We had a great group of bikers that ranged from 10 years old and up. There were a few experienced bikers alongside people looking to learn more about riding. We provided multiple League Certified Instructors on the ride, questions could be answered and best practices could be discussed. The 6 mile course gave opportunities to practice scanning/signalling, starting and stopping, riding in a group, lane positioning and left turns.<br />
<br />
Our next <b>B</b>ike and <b>L</b>earn <b>T</b>ogether Ride is August 2nd 2015, and will be through downtown San Diego! <a href="http://sdbikecoalition.org/event/blt-ride-downtown-san-diego/" target="_blank"><b>Event Page</b></a><br />

<h4>
<b>BLT Rides (B</b>ike<b> & L</b>earn<b> T</b>ogether)</h4>
<i>A Casual Bike Ride with Traffic Safety Education</i><br />
Once a month we offer a fun ride in a scenic part of San Diego
County. Part learning experience, part coffee jaunt, these rides welcome
all riders, but are geared for beginners. If you would like an
introduction to road riding, riding in a group or just a nice morning
out with some fun bicyclists, this is a ride for you. The rides are
typically 8-10 miles, mostly flat on bike paths and lightly traveled
roads. We do it at a pace that encourages talking and interaction. We
talk a lot, stop a lot, while having fun and getting information about
riding in various situations. No one is ever left behind.<br />

Walk + Bike is a partnership led by the <a href="http://www.carlsbadca.gov/" target="_blank">City of Carlsbad</a>, <a href="http://www.circulatesd.org/" target="_blank">Circulate San Diego</a> and the <a href="http://sdbikecoalition.org/" target="_blank">San Diego County Bicycle Coalition</a> to promote walking and
biking around Carlsbad, with a special focus on the downtown Village and
surrounding areas. The 12-month campaign is funded by a grant from the
San Diego Association of Governments and includes events, outreach to
schools, business promotions and other activities to get more people
walking and biking instead of driving on short trips around town. For
