Talking Back to Bikelash
/by Kevin ClaxtonAt CalBike, we hear it all: Bike riders get in the way of car drivers. We should get off the road. Why are we promoting dangerous behavior, like the Safety Stop? If only those crazy bicyclists wouldn’t… We’re sure you hear variations of this, too, ranging from rude (uninformed comments from acquaintances) to downright scary […]
California Falls Behind on Complete Streets
/by Jared SanchezIn Smart Growth America’s list of The Best Complete Streets Policies for 2023, only one California city made the top 10 (Sacramento, at number 10).

Bicycle Safety Stop FAQs
/by Kevin ClaxtonThe Bicycle Safety Stop Bill will make it legal for people on bikes to do what they already do: slow at stop signs, stop if necessary, and proceed with care if the way is clear. It’s a commonsense bike riding maneuver that’s legal in several other states. Yet the governor has vetoed it twice, citing […]
