CalBike’s Agenda for 2025
/by Kendra RamseyOn December 3, around 100 advocates and supporters joined CalBike on Zoom for a recap of a momentous 2024, a celebration of 30 years of bike advocacy, and a look forward to CalBike’s 2025 agenda. In breakout sessions, participants shared more ideas and enthusiasm for some of CalBike’s top priorities, including bicycle highways and shared […]
California’s E-Bike Incentives Are Finally Here
/by Kendra RamseyCalBike will host a webinar to answer questions about the program Last week, the California Air Resources Board announced that its much-delayed E-Bike Incentive Project would open for applications on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at 6:00 pm PT. CARB won’t release all $31 million in vouchers on that date; it still plans to do a […]
CalBike Leads Coalition Calling for Regulation of Illegal E-Motorcycles
/by Jared SanchezCalBike, along with 30 other bicycle and active transportation advocacy groups, released a letter today calling on our elected leaders to better regulate illegal electric motorcycles, which have top speeds above what’s allowed for electric bicycles. These e-motorcycles may be marketed as e-bikes, but they don’t meet California’s definition of an e-bike. Confusion between these […]
E-Bike Purchase Incentives FAQs
/by Laura McCamyWe’ve been getting a lot of questions about the e-bike purchase incentive project that CalBike helped pass and that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is implementing. It’s an exciting program, and information hasn’t always been easy to come by. So we’ve compiled some of the most common questions from people who want to get […]
Bike-Friendly Candidates Elected in California Races
/by Jared SanchezThis post was updated November 15, 2024, to reflect new vote tallies. CalBike endorsed eight candidates for the state legislature and one bike champion in a county race. Six of those nine candidates won their races, one lost, and two are still too close to call. California State Assembly gets five new bike champions In […]
Active Transportation Program Struggles After Deep Funding Cuts
/by Jared SanchezLast week, the California Transportation Commission released staff recommendations for the 2025 Active Transportation Program (ATP). The news is dire: $2.5 billion in requests were made, but the California Transportation Commission (CTC) had only $100 million to award in statewide grants, enough to greenlight just 13 projects over the two-year funding cycle. Budget cuts that […]
CalBike Continues Campaign for Safer Vehicles
/by Jared SanchezThe path to achieving critical safety improvements on California streets is rarely straightforward. CalBike supports and sponsors legislation, but bills are often amended, sometimes in ways that remove the teeth from a measure, and even those that make it through can be vetoed. But a veto or amendment isn’t the end of the road for […]
Why I’m a Bike Advocate
/by Kendra RamseyI grew up in downtown Sacramento in a household without a car. From a young age, I understood that transportation was how we accessed opportunity. If something was close enough to walk or bike, or a bus or light rail route went there, we could access it. If not, that was not an opportunity open […]
How to Fight E-Bike Backlash
/by Jared SanchezIn a state where 4,000 people die annually and many more are injured due to traffic violence, some California cities are freaking out because teenagers on e-bikes…did a wheelie? The ultra-conservative enclave of Huntington Beach enacted a draconian law last year that allows police to impound bicycles of youth found to have violated its (probably […]
Daylighting Law Will Save Lives
/by Jared SanchezHeader graphic courtesy of Streets for All. The 2023 Daylighting to Save Lives Bill, AB 413, authored by Assemblymember Alex Lee and co-sponsored by CalBike, prohibits parking within 20 feet of most crosswalks. It allows cities to use that space for other purposes, such as bicycle parking, that don’t restrict visibility. Its provisions took effect […]
Taking Stock of Protected Bikeways 10 Years Later
/by Laura McCamyAs CalBike celebrates its 30th anniversary, it’s an excellent time to look at one of our accomplishments that turns 10 this year: the Protected Bikeway Act of 2014, AB 1193. Authored by Assemblymember Phil Ting and sponsored by CalBike, the bill created a new class of bike lane: Class IV, also called cycletracks. These are […]
