Climate Change & Culture Change: Let’s Get Creative Right Now

Speakers: Jenn Guitart, Forest Barnes, Julia Campbell, Jason Henderson, Laura McCamy
Most bike advocates share a feeling of urgency around the climate crisis, and see bikes as one important solution. But transforming our communities to make them more bikeable has been a frustratingly slow process. In this interactive workshop, we’ll collaborate on strategies to move the window of discourse and change our culture fast—through direct action, art and video, open streets, tactical urbanism, and whatever else YOU come up with.

Connecting Biking & Housing

Speakers: Warren Logan, Matthew Lewis, Dan Chatman, Gloria Bruce

Connecting bicycling advocacy to housing advocacy is easy. We can’t roll without plenty of housing within bicycling distance of the places we want to go. What can we do support more housing to create more bike-friendly habitat, especially where land and housing are expensive? What can we do to make the housing units themselves more bike-friendly?

Friday RideOuts Plenary

Speakers: Vignesh Swaminathan, Reginald (RB) Burnette Jr, Jason Woody, Jane Voodikon, Jacqueline Ruiz Chab

RideOuts intrinsically subvert bike planner and advocacy norms. These unsanctioned take-to-the street events show us all how to ride differently, and still keep its riders safe, if not safer. These rides center and protect marginalized identities allowing participants the freedom to not only exist safely on the street but also bike outside the lines. Listen and learn from a variety of RideOut leaders across California, they’ll teach you how to ride like you never rode before!

In Defense of the Pedal

Speakers: Randy Neufeld, Katie Crist, Marianne Hernandez
As e-bikes strengthen the movement and we win safer streets, we’ll see an explosion of demand for things to ride in those bike lanes: e-bikes, and many many more things powered by lightweight electric motors. Scooters are likely just the first of lots of cheap devices that you don’t have to pedal. They’ll be popular (we’re lazy) but they won’t bring joy and health to their users the way a pedal-cycle does. What can we do to defend pedaling?

State Leadership for a New Paradigm

Speakers: Tony Dang, Jeanie Ward-Waller, Darwin Moosavi, Sergio Ruiz, Raayan Mohtashemi, Melanie Curry

Caltrans and the state of California are shifting away from a “cars only” approach to planning and funding transportation, for reasons of safety, climate, and equity. Caltrans has recently issued both Complete Streets and Vision Zero policies, and the California State Transportation Agency. (CalSTA) released the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Investments, which calls for the state to shift funding towards more sustainable options. What do these new policies mean for transportation – and are they for real? What are the challenges to implementing them?

Join a discussion with the developers of the policies, people tasked with implementing them, and advocates who have been pushing for these policies for years – and who have questions.

People Power in Bike Advocacy

Speakers: Sandhya Laddha, Raayan Mohtashemi, Ari Feinsmith, Omar Din

Imagine a community where the voices of all people are central to planning decisions; where the air is clean to breathe and folks of all backgrounds and income levels play, walk, and bike together; where safety is derived from relationships built upon equitable land use. Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition believes in this picture of community and understands that a bottom-up approach to advocacy and participation of the local community are keystones in creating it. In an effort to center community voices and cover the 35 cities and towns across San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties, SVBC works in a local team model. In this model, the organization recruits and trains a pool of active and engaged residents who meet regularly to advocate for making their city streets better for people walking and biking. The aim is to build community capacity and empower and strengthen local advocates who can take-up advocacy efforts in their cities. At the same time, we aim to bridge the gap between the existing community needs and government planning processes that often happen in parallel. The speakers of this panel are key players of this local team model which include – SVBC staff, a local team leader, a city staff person and an elected official. Each of these stakeholders will talk about their perspective about this model and how it has been helpful for them over the past years.
