SHARE THE ROAD - Marin County Bicycle Coalition

Volume 7 / Issue 3 www.marinbike.org Promoting Safe Bicycling for Everyday Transportation and Recreation SUMMER 2005
Share the Road Campaign Keeps Rolling
By Kim Baenisch and Eric Anderson
With the increasing popularity of bicycling and the large
numbers of cyclists on Marin roads this summer, it is necessary
to remind Marin County residents and visitors that
it is imperative for all of us to “Share the Road,” regardless
of our method of travel. MCBC has partnered with
Marin General Hospital, Marin County Law Enforcement,
and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) to encourage motorists and bicyclists to Share
the Road.
Marin’s expanded Share the Road program for 2005 has
three main components: a Share the Road public outreach
presentation, Law Enforcement Checkpoints, and Basic
Street Skills bicycle education classes.
MCBC has received a grant from NHTSA to develop an
interactive Share the Road PowerPoint presentation that
Nette LaBelle,
Marin County 2005 Bicycle
Commuter of the Year
Marin County Bicycle Commuter of the Year Nette LaBelle
started bike commuting for a good reason, but hers was not
one of the more common reasons such as the environment,
her health, or stress reduction. She started bike commuting
to be a better role model for her daughters.
As her daughter Tanisha tells it, “[When] I was a third
grader, and… had to ride my bike to Brookside every day,
my mom wanted to start riding her bike to work to be
a good role model for my older sister and me, to keep us
motivated.”
captures the experience of sharing the road from both the
motorist and cyclist perspective and focuses on ways in
which each group can avoid common types of crashes. The
first draft of the presentation was unveiled at the MCBC
Annual Membership Meeting on April 5. MCBC has scheduled
four more free public presentations of the PowerPoint;
feedback on the content will be requested at those events
(see sidebar). In order to conduct future presentations to
cycling clubs and motorist groups such as AAA, MCBC has
also developed a presenter training so that members who
have an interest in the Share the Road campaign can get
involved. This training will occur soon after the July public
presentation and will be announced by MCBC as the date
gets closer.
As part of our outreach efforts, Share the Road surveys
are being conducted at local and national levels.

County Holds
Community Meeting
on Alameda del Prado
Bicycle Lanes Proposal
By Eric Anderson
In March, Supervisor Cynthia Murray and the County
of Marin Public Works Department hosted a community
meeting in Loma Verde (southern Novato) regarding the
proposal for bicycle lanes on Alameda del Prado. This
street is the only direct route for cyclists traveling between
Marin’s two largest cities, Novato and San Rafael. This
critical bikeway link is a high-priority project for the
MCBC. It is supported by the City of Novato Bicycle Pedestrian
Advisory Committee, the County of Marin Bicycle
Advisory Committee, and local residents in both cities.
Despite cold, wet weather, the meeting was well attended
by Novato-area residents and others, many of whom
cycle the Alameda del Prado route. Three of the attendees
lived on Alameda del Prado; the majority were from the
immediate neighborhood and were in support of the bicycle
lanes.
Safety was a main issue at the meeting, including the
need for safer cycling conditions and the desire of residents
to reduce speeding on their street. MCBC staff pointed out
that studies show that installing bicycle lanes actually
slows traffic speeds and increases safety for all users. A
bike-lane project would also bring needed repaving and
new landscaping to the community.
Special thanks to Supervisor Murray and Jack Baker
of the County for their efforts in organizing this meeting.
Supervisor Murray indicated that she was pleased with
the meeting but wanted to get more direct input from residents
who live on Alameda del Prado.
MCBC is planning to organize a fun community event
in the Loma Verde neighborhood this summer to raise
awareness of the benefits that bicycle lanes will bring to
the street. Local residents interested in hosting or helping
to organize this event should contact Eric Anderson,
MCBC Director of Planning, at 415-456-3469 ext. 4# or
eric@marinbike.org.
NPS to Release Public Access
Study for Giacomini Project
By Eric Anderson
SThe 560-acre Waldo Giacomini Ranch property was purchased
for $5 million in 2000 by the National Park Service
(NPS) for wetland restoration. MCBC, in partnership with
the local Community Pathways Committee and members
of the Sierra Club, is pursuing non-motorized, multiuse
public access on the Giacomini property to connect
the communities of Point Reyes Station and Inverness
Park. Such a connection is urgently needed by local residents—especially
school-age children—who would use a
pathway to walk and bike as an alternative to narrow and
dangerous sections of road currently connecting the two
towns.
As a result of MCBC’s advocacy efforts, the NPS is nearing
completion of an official Public Access Study for the project.
NPS studied the two alignments that have the most
community support and seem most feasible: a perimeter
pathway connecting Point Reyes Station to Inverness
Park; and a pathway on the railroad right of way on the
east side of the property to connect Point Reyes Station
to Martinelli Park. All paths would be multi-use and open
to non-motorized users only, including walkers, bicyclists
and equestrians. The study is due to be released in June
2005.
The release of this public access study will be a victory
for West Marin residents and others who walk and bike in
this area. However, the fight’s not over yet. Once the Public
Access Study is released, NPS officials will decide which
elements of the study to carry forward into the official
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact
Report review process. MCBC will be working closely with
NPS officials to ensure that our two preferred alignments
are a part of the EIR/EIS process.
When the EIR/EIS is released in late 2005/early 2006,
the public will again have an opportunity to comment. At
that time we’ll need your letters and attendance at public
meetings to keep up the pressure for public access and
safe walking and cycling in these West Marin communities.
Stay tuned!

Legislative Update
By Deb Hubsmith, Advocacy Director
The Marin County Bicycle Coalition is supporting legislative
efforts, at the State and Federal levels, designed to
improve bicycling. What follows is a short summary of our
current efforts. Since legislation is constantly changing,
check www.marinbike.org for updates.
State Legislation
The MCBC is supporting three Assembly bills (AB) and
one Senate bill (SB) this year.
AB 4 (Bogh) would permanently revoke the driver’s
license of anyone convicted three times of drunk driving.
Drunk drivers are responsible for 40% of traffic deaths,
and bicyclists are among the most vulnerable.
AB 56 (Wolk) would remove a sunset clause on the
use of bicycle traffic signals in Davis, and allow for their
use throughout the State. In Davis, these signals have
decreased the number of crashes involving automobiles
and bicycles.
AB 748 (Wolk) would prohibit bicycle and pedestrian
tolls on all public bridges and roadways. California should
support and encourage alternative modes of transportation
that cut pollution and traffic, and improve opportunities
to promote healthy lifestyles. Special thanks to
Assemblyman Joe Nation for his co-authorship of AB 748.
SB 523 (Torlakson) pertains to the Bicycle Transportation
Account (BTA), which is currently funded at $7.2 million/year.
Unless this legislation is approved, the amount
of the account will decrease to $5 million/year.
Federal Legislation
At press time, the House of Representatives and the Senate
had both passed their versions of the transportation
bill, which sets up the framework for the distribution of
federal transportation funds over a six-year period. Congress
was working on the seventh extension for this bill,
placing the new deadline at June 30, 2005.
A major difference between the two bills is the overall
funding level. The House bill is at $284 billion, while the
Senate has adopted a $295 billion bill. The Bush Administration
continues to indicate that the President will veto
any bill that includes more than $284 billion in funding.
The funding and other program issues will be worked out
in Conference Committee by a selected group of members
of the House and the Senate.
There’s good news for bicyclists in both bills, including:
• Core funding for bicycle projects such as Transportation
Enhancements remains intact and at slightly higher funding
levels than in previous years.
• Both bills include the creation of a new Safe Routes to
School program; however, the House bill has $875 million
and the Senate bill has $312 million.
• The Senate bill would ensure that 13% of safety construction
funds nationwide are spent to improve the safety
of pedestrians and bicyclists.
• The House bill includes a Nonmotorized Transportation
Pilot Program that would demonstrate, in four communities
in the nation, the extent to which bicycling and walking
can carry a significant portion of the transportation
load.
The MCBC has been working on the federal transportation
bill for the past five years. We have actively promoted
the Safe Routes to School program (including providing
testimony at a recent Congressional briefing), and we
(along with Transportation Alternatives for Marin) have
advocated for the Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot
Program. MCBC believes that bicycling and walking will
not get its fair share of funding until it is demonstrated,
through a federal pilot program, that a complete bicycle
and pedestrian network will result in substantial mode
shifts, so that walking and bicycling will constitute a
major portion of a community’s transportation solution.
NETTE LABELLE [CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1]
pads the mileage on her way home by riding around Paradise
Drive or Nicasio Reservoir. With her daughters at college
now, she rides as her “number one stress buster,” for
exercise, and because it’s a quicker commute on a bike than
in a car trying to fight rush-hour traffic from the Larkspur
ferry terminal.
Bike commuting is like meditation for Nette. She finds it
important to clear her mind of the day’s events after work
and by concentrating on riding safely she does just that and
enjoys the ride as well. Riding lets her sneak in a workout,
feel good, and do a good thing for our air quality all at the
same time. According to her odometer, she has commuted
9000 miles in the last two years, which would have burned
450 gallons of gas at 20 miles per gallon!For Nette, the key
to bike commuting is preparedness. It’s important to get
into a routine: “Keep your bike well-maintained; make sure
your gear is ready. Get a good breakfast, pack a lunch, and
shower before you leave.” For beginner bike commuters, she
recommends scouting the route. “On your day off, find a safe
route and time yourself at a leisurely pace. Pump up the
tires and keep the chain lubed.”
MCBC is working
to ensure the
availability of
state and federal
funding for bike
and pedestrian

Marin Earth Day 2005
4
On Sunday, April 23, about 1500 people gathered at the
College of Marin campus in Kentfield to celebrate the 35th
Earth Day. With Mt. Tam as the backdrop, families and
youth were treated to music, games, speakers and activities
that fostered a sustainable future for everyone.
The Marin County Bicycle Coalition and the Safe Routes
to Schools program partnered with Marin Conservation
Corps, the Marin Food Systems Project, Next Generation,
and the College of Marin Students for Social Responsibility
to produce an extravaganza focused on children, youth
and families. Acrobats and clowns, puppets and puppet
making, face painting and bubble blowing, drumming and
dancing all combined in a colorful festival that provided
fun for all ages.
The day kicked off with Ride n’ Seek, a Rolling Treasure
Hunt that took families along the multi-use path in
Kentfield and Greenbrae. Everyone returned with smiling
faces, enjoying the challenge of deciphering clues and
spending active time together. One family commented that
this was one of the best times they’d ever had with their
budding teen-age daughter. Ride n’ Seek was sponsored
by Marin General Hospital’s Trauma Center and Schwinn
Bicycles. Blue Water Kayaking, Fitwize 4 Kids, and Take
5 Climbing Gym provided prizes.
There were plenty of bicycle-related activities. Children
made sculptures out of bike parts and learned how to fix a
flat tire, while adults got to try out a Breezer bicycle, the
ultimate in commuter and town bicycling. Anyone could
use bicycle power to blend his or her own smoothie, or
learn where to bicycle every day using the MCBC’s Marin
Bicycle Map. The Marin County Bicycle Coalition provided
free valet bike parking. During the preceding days of
Earth Week, Safe Routes to Schools taught more than 800
children at participating schools about environmentally
sound transportation choices.
The festival’s entertainment was nonstop. Tim Cain
energized the kids with a rousing sing-a-long on the kids’
stage. The main stage was filled with bluegrass, funk,
and rock. Till Dawn, a nationally performing Marin-based
coed teenage a capella group, wowed the audience with
their flawless renditions of jazz, gospel, Motown and more.
Poor Man’s Whiskey filled the campus with their blend of
acoustic music shaken with rock-n-roll attitude. Big Tadoo
Puppet Crew performed on both stages, bringing their
blend of poetry, song and storytelling to teach lessons of
sustainability and democracy. The Green Room, a Drake
High School band, closed out the day with a funky hip-hop
jam.
Supervisor Susan Adams gave the welcoming address
and Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey gave the crowd a pep
talk at noon. Global Exchange’s Kevin Danaher, sometimes
referred to as the Paul Revere of globalization’s woes, mesmerized
the crowd as he recounted the issues we must face
if we are to preserve the planet for generations to come.
Marin Food Systems Project provided numerous opportunities
to learn how our food gets from the farm to the
table, with composting and cooking workshops throughout
the day. Booths and workshops educated participants
about plenty of opportunities for reducing consumption
and finding sustainable alternatives. Marin Conservation
Corps set up recycling stations throughout the festival, in
addition to overseeing the infrastructure for the event.
Exhibitors displayed solar power, socially responsible
investing, green home design, ecological transportation,
fair trade coffee and clothing, and organic food options.
Non-profit organizations such as the Sea Turtle Project,
Seniors for Peace, Green Sangha, and the Environmental
Health Network offered people the opportunity to plug in
and get involved.

NORTH-SOUTH GREENWAY UPDATE
By Deb Hubsmith, Eric Anderson and Nancy Weninger
Ask Marin County residents what they feel is our county’s number one problem, and time after
time you’ll hear the same answer: traffic congestion.
A recent “Urban Mobility Study” from the Texas Transportation Institute determined that
traffic congestion in the Bay Area is the second worst in the nation, and that we are rapidly
closing in on Los Angeles for the dubious distinction of the most time wasted in traffic for any
region in the nation. The study further estimates that over $3 billion is lost each year in time and
fuel consumed in traffic jams in the Bay Area. Add to these statistics the fact that 65% of adult
Americans are overweight or obese, and it makes you wonder why it’s taking so long to build
the North-South Greenway, a multi-use pathway separated from automobiles that is planned to
run along the former Northwestern Pacific Railroad (NWP) right-of-way from Sausalito through
Sonoma County.
From the surfacing of the idea for the North-South Greenway in the 1970’s, to the founding
of MCBC in 1998 with the North-South Greenway as a top infrastructure priority, progress is
steadily being made. MCBC continues to navigate through planning studies, environmental
impact reports, engineering concerns, timelines, deadlines, public meetings, stakeholder meetings,
funding shortages, legislation, and a maze of multi-jurisdictional entities that govern the
right-of-way. Here’s an update, traveling from north to south.
1. SMART Rail with Trail from Sonoma County to San Rafael
Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) has been working since 1999 to plan, engineer
and build passenger rail service along the former NWP right-of-way (ROW). In the near future,
the 75 miles of ROW from Corte Madera to Cloverdale will be entirely owned and operated by
SMART.
Since 1999, the MCBC has been working with SMART to ensure that a multi-use pathway
parallel to the rail line is included within SMART’s plans. The SMART Commission-approved
initial expenditure plan for their November 2006 one-quarter-cent sales tax ballot measure
includes $40 million of the estimated $70 million cost for Phase I of the North-South Greenway.
The SMART Environmental Impact Report and Study (EIR/EIS) is scheduled to be released
this summer. MCBC will provide public comment on the document, and will continue to work
with SMART on the funding, planning, and construction of pathway segments within their
jurisdiction.
2. Lincoln Hill Segment
For years, MCBC has been advocating for the construction of the North-South Greenway in the
vicinity of the “Lincoln Hill Segment” to be completed at the same time at the HOV Gap Closure
Project. The ROW in this region is narrow, but we’ve maintained that construction and relocation
of a new soundwall for Highway 101 and the rail line creates an opportunity to build the
pathway simultaneously.
Our big break came in the summer of 2004 when the Transportation Authority of Marin
(TAM) finalized the Expenditure Plan for Measure A, Marin’s one-half-cent sales tax approved
by voters in November of 2004. Kudos to San Rafael’s Mayor Al Boro and Supervisor Susan
Adams, who advocated successfully with MCBC for the inclusion of this segment of pathway
as a Measure A expenditure. It was recently announced that $15 million in Measure A funds
remain for noise abatement, landscaping and the pathway, assuming no further cost overruns
on the highway project. We are striving for the bikeway segment to be constructed during 2007,
at the same time as the final phase of the Gap Closure Project.
3. Cal Park Hill Tunnel Rehabilitation
Community leaders have been working for more than 30 years to provide a non-motorized connection
between San Rafael and Larkspur Landing Circle in the vicinity of the Cal Park Hill
Tunnel. After decades of struggle, this project is finally moving forward.
6

Since 2001, the County of Marin has worked with MCBC
to garner $5.4 million in bikeway funds for the Cal Park
Hill Tunnel pathway rehabilitation project. The balance
of the approximately $10 million needed for this project
is coming from Regional Measure 2 (RM2) funds, which
were approved by Bay Area voters in March of 2004.
Engineering studies have shown that the bikeway and
rail could co-exist inside the tunnel and along the ROW
to Anderson Drive. The original plan was to run the bikeway
down the center of the tunnel and relocate it if and
when the railway was extended to Larkspur. The SMART
Commission decided this spring, however, to require that
the pathway be constructed in its ultimate location and to
prepare the tunnel for rail use at the same time that it is
rehabilitated for the multi-use pathway. SMART will be
requesting $7.3 million in RM2 funds to pay for the additional
costs of the full build-out of the tunnel and ROW to
accommodate future rail. We’re continuing to work with
SMART and TAM to discuss the pathway alignment.
The Initial Project schedule indicates that the tunnel
could break ground for construction next year. With Bill
Whitney (formerly of Fairfax) recently hired as the RM2
Project Manager, and with Supervisor Kinsey leading the
charge as Chairman of TAM, MCBC is certain that we’ll
see the light at the end of the tunnel!
4. Central Marin Ferry
Connection Project
South of the Cal Park Hill Tunnel, the Central Marin Ferry
Connection Project (CMFCP) will provide a much needed
crossing of East Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Corte
Madera Creek. The CMFCP plan (which is at 30% design)
calls for the existing wooden trestle over the creek to be
replaced by a new fixed bridge, with a ramp that would provide
access to the Larkspur Ferry Terminal. Once across
the creek, the pathway would continue south along the
ROW to the intersection of Redwood Highway and Wornum
Drive. We especially thank the City of Larkspur for leading
this project through the alternatives analysis phase.
The CMFCP has now been turned over to TAM and is
slated to receive RM2 funding for construction. Progress
on the CMFCP has been tied to the future Greenbrae Interchange
Project, a full-diamond interchange that will also
be funded through RM2 and is planned for location near
Wornum Drive. Environmental impact reports still need
to be completed for the CMFCP, but fortunately, the Initial
Project Report shows the CMFCP project as being fully
funded.
6. Alto Tunnel Rehabilitation
The County of Marin has a grant pending with the State to complete an Alto Tunnel rehabilitation
study, which would assess the condition of the tunnel, provide a rehabilitation cost estimate,
and include community outreach. The Town of Corte Madera and the City of Mill Valley both
passed resolutions in support of this study. Supervisor Charles McGlashan has led the charge to
make the Alto Tunnel study a priority for the County.
7. Mill Valley Pathway and Gate 6 Road
A few years ago, the County of Marin programmed $150,000 to resurface this popular multi-use
pathway; but drastic state funding cuts have deferred this project for the unforeseeable future.
In the meantime, Supervisor McGlashan is working with the County’s Open Space District staff
to repair areas of the pathway that are most susceptible to flooding. He is also working to
secure funds to fix the dangerous intersection of the Mill Valley pathway with Gate 6 Road and
Bridgeway.
8. Sausalito Bridgeway Bike Lanes and Pathway Construction
The new bike lanes on Bridgeway opened to the public in the fall of 2003. MCBC and Transportation
Alternatives for Marin are now working with the City of Sausalito to pursue a grant from the
Bay Trail Project to conduct a feasibility study and develop the design for a multi-use pathway to
traverse the ROW from Gate 6 Road to the Sausalito Ferry Terminal.
9. Vista Point and the Golden Gate Bridge
Vista Point (on the Marin side of the Golden Gate Bridge) was recently reconstructed with bike
racks, speed tables, and safer pathways. The Golden Gate Bridge now includes a safety railing
separating the sidewalk from the roadway.
Conclusion
When it is completed, the North-South Greenway will provide a non-motorized transportation
route that will be a model for the nation. Imagine how many people will chose to walk or bike
when they are presented with a viable route! If you are interested in helping to build the North-
South Greenway, please contact Deb Hubsmith at (415) 454-7430. Together, we have the opportunity
to offer Marin County a transportation facility that will improve the environment, health,
and livability of our community.

5. Sandra Marker Trail
Bicyclists and pedestrians have a smooth ride along the
North-South Greenway on the newly paved Sandra Marker
Trail, which boasts a stunning view of Mount Tamalpais.
The Town of Corte Madera constructed the pathway segment
from Tamalpais Drive up to and including the High
Canal Bridge. The City of Larkspur paved the remainder
of the pathway last year.

Every Day Could be Bike to Work Day!
8
Bike to Work Day 2005 offered the most comprehensive encouragement for cyclists ever—and
the best media coverage! The nine Bay Area counties celebrated the 11th Annual Bike to
Work Day to promote bicycling for everyday transportation. Bicycling is a fun and convenient
transportation alternative and is becoming an increasingly popular commute choice.
Dozens of local events took place around the Bay during Bike to Work Week, May 17 -May
21, including pancake breakfasts, free bike tune-ups, bicycle skills classes, docent-led bike
tours, and safety workshops. Registered participants were eligible to win prizes, including
a new bicycle and plane tickets for two anywhere in the United States. Several new promotions
helped bring awareness to our celebration, including a Recruit a Co-worker campaign,
a BikeTown bicycle giveaway to 50 Bay Area residents, and nominations for Bike Commuter
of the Year, Outstanding Workplace that Fosters Bicycle Transportation, and Most Improved
Bicycle Community.
On Bike to Work Day, Marin County hosted 16 Energizer Stations along local commute
routes to provide free snacks, musette bags filled with giveaways, and encouragement to
bicyclists on their morning rides. We also recognized our Bike Commuter of the Year, Nette
LaBelle, with a plaque and complimentary MCBC Century-level membership at the end-of-day
Energizer Station at GravyWheels in San Anselmo.
Did you miss out on the fun? Check out what Supervisor Susan Adams has to say about
biking to work, and you just might get a new habit started!
(OpEd letter published in the Marin IJ on 05/22/05)
On Thursday, May 19, in spite of some threatening weather, 1000 hardy Marin souls
ventured out on their two wheels for Bike to Work Day. I commute by bike many days
during the year, so I particularly enjoy this annual celebration.
When I first started riding my bike to the Marin County Civic Center, I was usually
greeted with “Wow! So you really DO ride your bike to work!” This was followed with “How
far do you ride and how long does it take?” Once the incredulous interrogator realized he
or she lived closer than I and that it took longer for him or her to arrive by car via the 101
gridlock than it took for me to pedal to work, a potential new bike commuter was born.
When I first started riding my bike to work, there were days when my bike sat lonely at
the rack. Now, I am happy to say, there are days when the rack and the bike lockers are
so full I can barely find a spot to park my bike.
I ride my bike for a number of reasons:
1) I like to stretch my gas-tank dollars, especially as the prices are hitting the 43.00/
gallon mark.
2) A little endorphin therapy is good for a low mood.
3) As a County Supervisor I have little time to get to a gym
to exercise and I must do something to keep my middleaged
body from expanding to unhealthy dimensions.
4) Riding my bike allows me to see and interact with the
people who live in my neighborhood. It’s much easier to
pull over and stop for a chat on my bike, than it is when
I am hurtling down Highway 101 at 5 miles/hour in my
car during the morning commute.
5) Being outside allows me to have the full sensory
experience of the seasons, whether it’s the smell of
roses and jasmine during a warm dawn ride in July or
the smell of frying bacon and coffee brewing for breakfast
on a crisp autumn morning. The colors of the flora
change and the sky is never the same. The birds sing
different songs at different times of the year.
6) I try to walk the talk and be part of the pollution solution.
In this fast-paced life, slowing down allows me the
opportunity to reflect on how lucky I am to live in Marin
and to experience being in it. In the process, the only
carbons going into the air are the carbon dioxide gases
from my heaving breath up that last hill to the Civic
Center Administrative archway.
So if you are able, make the commitment to ride your
bike to work or school or shopping even one day a week
or month. Go for it! If you live too far from work for your
biking skills, then take public transit or carpool. May
19th was the official Bike to Work Day. But every day
can be Bike to Work Day. I would love to pull over for a
chat with you and smell the coffee brewing or the roses
blooming.
And thanks to all the volunteers and sponsors and
bike riders who made May 19th special this year!

Cycling Improvements
Urged as San Rafael
Budget Crisis Looms
By Don Magdanz and Eric Anderson
San Rafael is facing a financial crisis. Cuts at the City
have had drastic impact on essential services. Now more
than ever it is important to push for bicycling and walking
improvements that can save the city money, and to support
the San Rafael Department of Public Works (DPW)
so that they can implement the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Master Plan adopted in 2001.
In general, bicycling puts little wear and tear on our
roads, and cycling and walking infrastructure is far
cheaper than large road projects. Non-motorized transportation
such as bicycling and walking is the most cost-efficient
and space-efficient way to move people around San
Rafael; 14 bicycles can be parked in the space required
for one automobile. The C Street parking structure could
be much smaller if it were built to bicycle scale! In this
time of financial crisis, San Rafael cyclists cannot afford
not to push for these kinds of cost savings.
MCBC continues to work with San Rafael to pursue
bicycling and walking improvements, especially as a part of
larger projects that would pay for non-motorized improvements.
San Rafael cyclists will someday enjoy signed
bicycle routes, a path along the railroad right of way parallel
to Lincoln Avenue, a reopened Cal-Park Hill Tunnel
and a bicycle route along West Francisco Boulevard. As
all of these projects are paid for by other sources, they
benefit San Rafael cyclists at no capital cost to the City.
The San Rafael City Council is considering a tax measure
for the November 2005 ballot. As the City moves
forward with strategies for closing the budget gap, it’s
vital that elected officials understand that bicycling and
walking are not optional. In fact they have the potential
to alleviate maintenance needs for our streets and roads
by reducing car traffic. As proven by Marin’s passage of
Measure A, a tax measure that includes bicycling, walking
and Safe Routes to Schools improvements will be very
popular with voters.
The Council needs to hear directly from residents. Send
a letter or message to Mayor Boro and the San Rafael
Council members. Submit a comment online (under “Budget
Comments”) at http://www.sanrafaelcityhall.org/
budget. Or mail or fax a letter to: Mayor Boro and City
Councilmembers, c/o San Rafael City Clerk, City of San
Rafael, P.O. Box 151560, San Rafael, CA 94915-1560.
The fax number is (415) 459-2242.
MCBC Opposes Golden Gate Bridge Bike Tolls
In a desperate attempt to make up a $108 million budget shortfall over the next five years, the
Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District is again discussing the concept of a
bicycle and pedestrian toll.
The Marin County Bicycle Coalition is taking a firm stand against any possible bicycle and
pedestrian toll. No other bridge or roadway in the nation charges a toll for bicyclists and pedestrians.
The Bridge District claims that such a toll could generate $500,000 to $1.5 million/year;
however, they have not yet calculated the costs that would be incurred to collect a bicycle and
pedestrian toll. When costs are figured in, it will likely be determined that this scheme could
actually lose money for the District, while discouraging active transportation and setting a
dangerous precedent.
The MCBC is recommending that the Bridge District drop the concept of a bicycle and pedestrian
toll and take it “off the table” as an option for closing the District’s current budget gap.
Furthermore, it is our hope that rather than having staffs, boards and the public devote time to
this issue every few years—only to have it abandoned again—this concept can be permanently
dropped from consideration.
Send an email to the Bridge District with your opinion. Go to www.marinbike.org and click
on the link to send an email to the Golden Gate Bridge District. Your message does not need
to be long but should clearly and respectfully state your opposition to pedestrian and cyclist
tolls. Stay tuned to www.marinbike.org for current reports on the Golden Gate Bridge and to
get updates on AB 748, state legislation co-authored by Assemblyman Joe Nation that would
prohibit bicycle and pedestrian tolls on all bridges within California.
SHARE THE ROAD [CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1]
Staff and volunteers set up tables at local farmers’
markets in May to survey the public about
their awareness of current Share the Road promotions.
The responses will help focus our outreach
message and—combined with another
survey at the end of the project—will help us
measure the increase in public awareness of
the campaign. MCBC is surveying other advocate
organizations, government agencies and
law enforcement at a national level to determine
best practices currently in use for inclusion in a Share the Road Toolkit, which NHTSA
will make available.
With support from the Marin County District Attorney and the Marin Police Chiefs, Checkpoints
will be a component of our educational outreach this year. Saturday, July 16, has been
designated the countywide Share the Road Day for law enforcement departments to provide
safety and vehicle code information to motorists and cyclists in a friendly atmosphere. The
Marin Safe Routes to Schools program will be incorporated into a fall Checkpoint to increase
awareness at the program’s 40-plus participating schools. MCBC appreciates working with
our local police departments in their efforts to increase traffic safety by providing balanced
outreach to motorists and cyclists through Checkpoint days. Educational methods communicate
the Share the Road safety message in a non-punitive manner and neither user group feels
targeted.
In addition to supporting the Checkpoints activity, the Police Chiefs are supporting the continuation
of MCBC’s Basic Street Skills bicycle safety class series with funding and provision of
an attending officer at each class (see front page sidebar). These classes uniquely allow recipients
of bicycle traffic violation tickets to attend the class and have their fine reduced to $50,
regardless of original ticket value (running a stop sign is a minimum $120 ticket). This partnership
is only the third of its kind in the Bay Area to provide bicycle education as a traffic court
option. MCBC is working with the Marin County Courts and law enforcement to streamline the
process for class attendance. Classes held between July 2004 and May 2005 were funded by and
held at Marin General Hospital’s facility in Greenbrae. The new class series will use the same
location.

Featured Bike Shops
Classcycle
Classcycle is a mom-and-pop bike
shop located at 1531-B South
Novato Boulevard in Novato. Owners
Curtis and Lorrie Ross manage
every aspect of the business. Curtis
does all of the mechanical work
on every bike that comes into the
store, including build-ups, repairs,
and service. He has 20 years of
experience in the bicycle business.
Lorrie manages the finances,
helps with ordering and provides
the friendly customer service for
which the shop is known. Their dog, Molly, is also a fixture at the shop and loves to get petted
by all the customers.
Classcycle is an all-around shop; the customers include occasional family riders as well as
devoted, serious cyclists. Curtis and Lorrie sell and work on a range of bicycles from affordable
kids’ bikes to expensive high-end bicycles. The Rosses have owned their Novato bike shop for
14 years.
Curtis and Lorrie ride their bikes almost every day. On weekends they ride about four miles
to do errands. They walk the 1/3 mile to the grocery store because it is so close. Riding helps
Lorrie keep her cholesterol down, a critical concern for her as she endured a heart attack two
years ago. Her increased riding since then has kept her cholesterol levels low. To celebrate their
30-year wedding anniversary in June, Curtis and Lorrie are planning a luxurious bike ride.
Mill Valley Cycleworks
Mill Valley Cycleworks has been
in the same location for 40 years
now; Mill Valley Cyclery reopened
as Mill Valley Cycleworks in 1995.
Thanks to the support of their loyal
customers and the community,
they’ve grown into a full-service
retail bike shop that caters to all
levels of cycling. They carry everything
from kids’ bikes to custom,
high-end road and mountain bikes.
They’re known for their friendly
neighborhood atmosphere, knowledgeable employees, and excellent product lines.
Customer service is the highest priority at Mill Valley Cycleworks. They are an independently
owned shop, and their sales and service people do not work on commission, so they don’t
believe in the hard sell. They want to make sure their customers get the bike that fits their
needs, and more importantly, a bike that they’ll want to ride. They have expert fit technicians
on staff and a size studio for custom fittings. Their mechanics are extremely skilled professionals,
who are easy to talk to and available to answer questions and provide quotes.
Mill Valley Cycleworks is proud to be an authorized dealer of the following bike lines: Serotta,
Seven Cycles, Colnago, Look, Santa Cruz, Maverick, Intense, Specialized, Trek, LeMond, Gary
Fisher and Felt Cruisers.
Please visit the shop at 369 Miller Avenue in Mill Valley. They are open 7 days a week and most
holidays. For more information, visit the website: www.millvalleycycleworks.com.
Cyclist Torrin Arnold
Is Blinded by Crash
In February, Torrin Arnold, 25, a local bike shop
employee, bike racer and 4.0 GPA College of Marin
student, was injured in a collision with motorist James
Arrigoni, 44.
According to the police report, Mr. Arnold was riding
his bicycle westbound on Red Hill Avenue toward the
San Anselmo Hub around 9:00am on Saturday, February
26, 2005. While merging into the left lanes he was
nearly struck by a large pickup truck driven by Mr. Arrigoni.
An altercation between cyclist and driver ensued
and witnesses observed the driver swerve quickly
into the path of the cyclist. The two collided and Mr.
Arnold fell from his bicycle, smashing his helmet. Mr.
Arrigoni then fled the
scene and two of the
witnesses pursued the
driver, blocked his car
in, and forced him to go
to the police station. Mr.
Arrigoni’s lawyer has
stated that Mr. Arnold
“fell of his own volition”
as a result of losing his
balance after the motorist-cyclist
altercation.
Mr. Arnold was taken
to the hospital for a concussion,
sprained neck, and roadrash but released the
same day. Three days later his vision began to worsen.
Torrin is now effectively and legally blind. He is unable
to read, drive, ride his bicycle, or attend school.
Due in part to pressure from the cycling community,
the District Attorney of Marin County is pursuing both
felony hit and run and misdemeanor reckless driving
charges against the suspect. At the arraignment on
June 1, Mr. Arrigoni pled not guilty to the charges.
Local cyclists organized an event on May 25 to handdeliver
letters to the DA and a benefit was held the
same night at 19 Broadway in Fairfax. Although nearly
$3,000 was raised at the benefit, Torrin Arnold’s case
is far from over. His medical bills and legal expenses
continue to pile up.
Incidents like this one are the reason why Marin
County Law Enforcement and MCBC have been working
hard to promote our Share the Road campaign, which
encourages all drivers and cyclists to coexist peacefully
on our roadways. Mutual respect and understanding of
the shared rights and obligations of cyclists and motorists
will go a long way to keeping us all safe. MCBC
encourages everyone to learn about sharing the road
safely through our Share the Road campaign materials
(see www.marinbike.org and the article in this Pedal
Press). [CONTINUED ON PAGE 11]

Regardless of who was at fault in the collision, MCBC
is pleased that the Marin County District Attorney’s
office has taken this case seriously. Please consider
mailing or faxing a letter to D.A. Edward Berberian
stating that you support the D.A.’s decision to prosecute
Mr. Arrigoni to the fullest extent of the law:
Edward Berberian, District Attorney

Kids Share the Road and
Get Respect—We All Can!
by Connie Breeze, Safe Routes Instructor
The kids we work with at Safe Routes to School are
excited about learning and practicing cycling skills. I
think the real-life aspect of our classes is especially
appealing to them. They’re proud to show off their
knowledge of the rules of the road. Fourth graders
know that the law says bikes, like cars, must stop at
stop signs—and they know they earn respect when they
obey the law.
When I see an adult cyclist run a stop sign or otherwise
break the law, I’m saddened by the contrast between
them and the earnest schoolchildren I work with.
Cyclists should not be judged as a group, but unfortunately
they are. Bicycling infractions create anticyclists—we’ve
seen the letters to the editors. It’s not
fair (all motorists don’t get blamed when some drive
badly!) but it’s real. And it harms our cause. As individual
cyclists, we have a choice at every stop sign: harm
our image, or build respect.
