Kidical Mass: A Multigenerational, Social Bike Ride Event. Family Fun for all Ages! Other activities include gardening class, community garden tours and Pancakes! We welcome our event Partner VEO providing sit-down electric scooters and helmets during the event so people who don’t have their own bicycle can participate at no charge.
The Kill Bike-Share Bill singles out shared micromobility for an onerous insurance requirement. That will drive up the costs of bike and scooter sharing so severely that many programs will have to be canceled, and hopes of expansion into low-income communities will be dashed.
California needs real solutions
Bike and scooter sharing systems are essential to help mitigate climate change by reducing carbon emissions. The Kill Bike-Share Bill solves nothing and is likely to make California’s problems worse.
If AB 371 passes, we won’t be able to expand shared micromobility programs to low-income communities that need them.
AB 371 endangers shared bikes and scooters in California
The California State Senate is considering a bill that will endanger bike and scooter sharing in California. It’s absolutely crucial to voice your opposition to this dangerous bill today. UNLESS FIXED, AB 371 COULD KILL BIKE-SHARING IN CALIFORNIA
The Kill Bike-Share Bill (AB 371) would require providers of shared scooters (whether a private company, non-profit, or a transit agency) to carry insurance to pay for injuries caused through no fault of their own including by the rider’s own negligence. It requires a study that is likely to lead to a similar requirement for shared bikes in the future.
Virtual Community Meeting For the City of Malibu Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1)
When: Tuesday, June 28, 2022 from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm Where: https://signin.webex.com/join Meeting number: 24953134230 Event password: 2022 Or by phone: (408) 418-9388 Access code: 24953134230
Caltrans is proposing a project to rehabilitate distressed pavement, improve ride quality, upgrade existing safety features, upgrade existing nonstandard curb ramps to comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, and construct Class II bike lanes on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) State Route 1 (SR-1) from Serra Road near Malibu Lagoon State Beach to the Ventura County Line near Leo Carrillo State Beach. The current design proposes bike lanes that may eliminate parking in some areas on PCH. Caltrans is holding this virtual meeting to receive input from the community on this proposed project. Community participation is greatly appreciated as we will be collecting feedback.
One of our questions: Is a Class II bike lane sufficient where vehicles travel in excess of 50mph or is protected infrastructure what we need / want?
