Build It Quickly Part One: From Pop-up to Permanent

August 8, 2019/by Kevin Claxton

Low-stress networks with protected bikeways and intersections will transform our communities, but it will be decades to build them, with current processes. Can’t we do it faster? The first part of this two-part workshop series looks at how San Jose went from a week-long pop-up protected bikeway to a two-year quick-build network of protected bikeways and intersections – all using inexpensive materials. It also looks at the “Go Human” program of the Southern California Association of Governments, which has implemented 36 tactical urbanism projects as official advocacy for safer street infrastructure. Our third example is from San Diego’s El Cajon Boulevard, a vision zero corridor which will soon get a pilot 3-mile bus lane where bikes are allowed. Learn from their successes and mistakes, as well as how a quick-build project led to a successful grant application to make the quick-build “paint and plastic” facilities permanent with hardscape improvements.

Cycling Without Age

August 8, 2019/by Kevin Claxton

We’ll hear stories from the Santa Barbara chapter of Cycling Without Age, a national network of bike organizations for older adults. What is the potential for e-bikes to expand the joy of bicycling to older adults? What’s the latest on the role of bicycling in supporting health and vitality?

R/Evolutionary Roots of Community Bike Shops

August 8, 2019/by Kevin Claxton

Community-led bike shops have historically served as neighborhood mobility hubs, providing resources and networks for marginalized groups without cars or with limited access to them. This panel will highlight the anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian global grassroots origins of these community institutions and how their missions have evolved to incorporate more local Black, Indigenous, People-of-Color (BIPOC) leadership, international perspectives, and more inclusivity for individuals of differing abilities. Panelists will also explore the future of community bike shops — ensuring they are publicly controlled by and for locally marginalized residents — despite a horizon of increasingly privatized mobility options catering to newer and wealthier residents.
