But remember Jim, only "strong and fearless"/"recreational cyclists"/"white men" use roads with sharrows.On Fri, 7 Jun 2024 at 12:25, Jim Baross <bikes...@cox.net> wrote:Sharrows help me by reminding/informing motorists that Bikes Belong.Bike Routes/Class III Bikeways help me and others with way-finding better routes.--The concern that Bike Routes & Sharrows (don't forget BMUFL signs) "lure" people into using the lane space appropriate for bicycling on a Bike Route or other roadway is completely counterproductive to effective bicycle travel!We are not content to wait to travel on public ROW by bicycle until "Golden" level facilities are built!Roads are for people, not only for people in cars.

What's a Class III Bikeway, and How Could Two New Bills Affect That?
Two bills in the legislature shine a spotlight on Class III bikeways and how we should and should not deploy them. CalBike has heard from some bike riders who rely on Class III bikeways and don’t want to see them restricted. So we took a look at California’s bikeway classification system, what is a Class III bikeway, and how the measures we support would affect people’s ability to take the lane.

Supporting Youth Mental Health through Biking
We invited the National Youth Bike Council to write a post about their organization and the Youth Bike Summit, which will be held June 14-16 in Pennsylvania. We are inspired by these young advocates!
Bicycles serve as a great catalyst, more now than ever, in aiding youth health in the U.S. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 20.1% of U.S. youth aged 12 to 17 experienced at least one major depressive episode in 2021, but we are here to change that. Reclaiming youth health is best done directly through peer-to-peer engagement, like through the initiatives run by the National Youth Bike Council (NYBC). NYBC is a youth-led organization formed to create more young leaders.

Bill Walton Was a Bike Advocate
Bill Walton, who died last week at age 71, touched the lives of many people. Here at CalBike, we remember him as someone who loved bikes and supported the goal of making our state more bike-friendly. Known primarily for his legendary career on the basketball court, Walton dedicated his retirement to championing the cause of cycling. He was a notable sight on his custom extra-large bicycle and wearing Grateful Dead gear, often seen riding the hills and valleys of San Diego County.
