The Last Mile Matters: Checking In on Recent Wins
/by Andrew WrightCalBike has played a pivotal role in helping California pass some meaningful transportation safety laws in recent years. These were hard-fought, practical changes designed to make everyday travel safer for people biking and walking. But in traffic safety, passage is not the finish line. Implementation is. As a statewide organization working with advocates, planners, and […]
Four Strategies That Helped the Hollenbeck Project Pass
/by Andrew WrightOn December 2, 2025, the Sunnyvale City Council approved buffered bike lanes on Hollenbeck Avenue. The vote was 6–1. It marks a momentous milestone: the culmination of more than a year of focused, volunteer-driven campaigning, powered by perseverance of groups like Sunnyvale Safe Streets. CalBike applauds the many community members who made this possible and […]
2026 Agenda Reveal, Recap, and Q&A
/by Andrew WrightCalBike’s 2026 Agenda Reveal looked back at hard-won gains on Complete Streets and funding, then made the case for what comes next: billions for bikes, sane e-bike rules, real answers to traffic violence, and a 2026 Bicycle Summit that turns that agenda into action. Here are responses to the questions submitted that we didn’t get […]
“Trust Is Infrastructure”: How LA Metro’s Nina Kin Is Building Better Data for Transit Riders on Bikes
/by Andrew WrightTo understand why data accuracy matters to LA Metro’s riders, Nina Kin — Tech Lead on LA Metro’s Digital Experience Team — often points to moments like this: It’s 7:48 a.m., and a parent on a tight schedule is trying something new: leaving the car at home. She drops her child at daycare, locks her […]

/by Andrew WrightA Better Path: Permanent Funding for E-Bikes
/by Andrew WrightResponse to CARB on Ending the E-Bike Incentive Project
/by Andrew WrightCARB’s decision to absorb the remaining funding from the E-Bike Incentive Project into Clean Cars 4 All is a telling political moment—one that mistakes “cleaner cars” for genuine progress. It’s easier to imagine replacing every gas car with an electric one than to imagine a California where people can move freely without cars at all. […]
How South Bay Cities Enforce Car Dependence by Design
/by Andrew WrightThe Week Without Driving seeks to highlight that nearly a third of Californians can’t rely on driving for their personal mobility. This year, the South Bay Transit Summit in Torrance also exposed how overlapping systems of infrastructure, regulation, and enforcement leave even willing bike riders few real choices. In the South Bay, this coercion isn’t […]
DOT’s Dead-End Logic
/by Andrew WrightDOT’s Dead-End Logic On September 9, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation canceled grants for bike lanes, safer intersections, and pedestrian facilities with a stunning rationale: they were “hostile to motor vehicles.” In San Diego, a safety project was rescinded because it “appears to reduce lane capacity and a road diet that is hostile to […]
What to Expect When You Are Expecting a Bikeway
/by Andrew WrightThis post is sponsored by Bike Legal: At Bike Legal, we advocate for protected bike lanes that separate cyclists from motor vehicle traffic. Yet even the best infrastructure cannot remove every danger. We encourage riders to protect themselves by always wearing a helmet and using lights even during the day to increase visibility. Safer streets […]
A bike-first standard for “self-driving” claims
/by Andrew WrightIf an automaker wants to imply a car can drive independently, as certain manufacturers do with terms like “autopilot” and “full self driving” , the minimum requirement should include a high standard for safety around bicycles and other vulnerable road users, verified publicly. The League of American Bicyclists already outlines what competence for AVs looks […]
