Thank you for putting Public Safety First
/by Andrew WrightThis spring, more than 600 Californians signed the Public Safety First petition demanding clarity on e-bikes. Developed by E-Bike Access and launched statewide by CalBike in collaboration with the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, this effort moves the conversation forward in California: legal e-bikes are part of our transportation future, and illegal e-motos being sold as […]
California’s Best Street Improvement Program Is Drowning in Demand
/by Andrew WrightWhen the application window for the Active Transportation Program (ATP) opens, California communities line up with a basic request: help us make our streets safer. They laboriously apply to the Active Transportation Program, the state’s only dedicated funding source for walking and biking projects. These are the projects that close sidewalk gaps, build protected bikeways, […]
SB 1167, The Mineta Report, and How We Got Here
/by Andrew WrightIn 2023, the Legislature passed SB 381, which directed the Mineta Transportation Institute at San José State University to conduct a study on electric bicycles, with a mission to “develop effective laws and policy to support the twin goals of expanding electric bicycle use and protecting the safety of electric bicycle riders and other road […]
LA’s Delayed Mobility Projects Show Why California Needs to Fix ATP
/by Andrew WrightThe Active Transportation Program (ATP) is one of California’s most important and effective tools for reducing traffic violence, cutting climate pollution, improving public health, and giving people practical transportation choices. When the program works, it helps build the kinds of connected networks that make everyday trips possible without a car. But those connections only matter […]
Amazon Is Pulling High-Speed E-Motos from California E-Bike Marketplace
/by Andrew WrightAmazon says it will no longer sell e-bikes in California that exceed state speed limits and fall outside the existing three-class system, after KCRA 3 Investigates notified the retailer that products on the company’s marketplace advertised speeds greater than 40 miles per hour, counter to California law. After KCRA contacted Amazon about those listings, the […]
CalBike’s 2026 Primary Election Endorsements
/by Andrew WrightAt CalBike, we work not just to improve what policymakers decide about transportation but to improve who those policymakers are. In 2026, California needs leaders who are up to the challenge of the current moment to face the climate crisis and prioritize active transportation. Because the California Bicycle Coalition is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, we […]
Lobby Day Put Safe Streets on the Agenda
/by Andrew WrightLast month, CalBike Lobby Day brought advocates, community leaders, bike coalition staff, riders, parents, and local organizers into meetings with legislators and staff from across the state. Together, participants made the case for CalBike’s 2026 legislative priorities, including stronger protections against illegal e-motos being marketed as e-bikes, reforms to the Active Transportation Program, and increased […]
Making ATP Work
/by Andrew WrightEvery year through the Active Transportation Program (ATP), the state invests hundreds of millions of dollars in projects meant to help people walk, bike, and access transit safely. These projects are broadly popular and growing in support among Californians of all political stripes. Fully realized ATP projects have become the cornerstone of biking networks around […]
Don’t Punish E-Bikes for the E-Moto Problem
/by Andrew WrightCalifornia lawmakers are right to be concerned about the spread of high-powered electric devices marketed as e-bikes. There is some truth behind the now-familiar image of 12-year-olds doing wheelies through suburban streets on machines far more powerful than a legal electric bicycle. But too many of this year’s bills respond to that concern by going […]
A welcome step; now let’s see enforcement
/by Andrew WrightWe are thrilled to see California Attorney General Rob Bonta alert consumers to the difference between legal e-bikes and faster e-motos. Joined in the alert by the district attorneys of Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties, the consumer notice helps draw a clearer line between legal e-bikes and the illegal high-speed electric motorcycles that […]
California Has the Tools to Stop Super Speeders. AB 2276 Would Finally Use Them.
/by Andrew WrightMost drivers slow down after a ticket; “super speeders” don’t. They’re the drivers caught going 30, 40, 50 miles per hour over the limit, often repeatedly, on roads shared with people walking, biking, and living their lives. California has fined them, given them points, and suspended their licenses. It has not been enough to dissuade […]
