Trying to tolerate the bullshit in this CalBike webinar, but just ran smack up against their commitment to "California's climate goals." Excuse me, but this is 2026.5 is it not? And this bunch is still not just drinking but profering this crap?
And they're committed to advancing the use of bicycles by all Californians? As in, whether they want that or not? Haven't they heard, if not seen directly for themselves, that Californians don't want to "use" bicycles in their daily lives, because culturally they are overwhelmingly Exercise Averse?
That our collective values as shaped by marketing and advertising stress ease of use and convenience as the #1 quality-- openly stated or not-- for every good or service we select? And as we who choose to bicycle can attest, exercise and the acceptance of a degree of inconvenience is essential to a cycling lifestyle? These are facts. They are ignored by social engineers who believe that their vision for the rest of the population should be imposed for the betterment of the collective. Classic Socialist power move.
Pedestrian Space should be respected and pedal bicycling should be accommodated on our strrleets and roads. Ebikes and Emotos should be accommodated and segregated by speed and sold as age appropriate. Private passenger cars have to adjust to the use of a growing number of alt trans modes. But we cannot align ourselves with socialist bullies.

broader
coalition for

where CalBike
is headed,
what we
believe this
moment
requires, and
how our

for everyone.
Together, we

Elect bike

public office
and work in

prioritizes
bicycling
- Priority 5.

As we often say, the most important word in our name
