2 Bike Opportunities: Share Ridership Data & Tell Your Bike Love Story

I just want to briefly share two bike-related opportunities that you all can partake in. I'll mention these in class tomorrow, too:

Share Cycling Data with CycleTracks App to Improve Routes

Excerpted from the original post on the Sustainability Office blog:
The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments is working to develop a planning tool that will help make the Monterey Bay Area, including Santa Cruz, an even better place to bike. This tool will assist local governments in identifying the best places to plan for new bicycle routes throughout the tri-county region.

The Association will be collecting data from the region’s bicyclists using the CycleTracks mapping applications. To help contribute, you can either log your bike trips on the CycleTracks Monterey website or download the smartphone application and map your routes while you ride. You can also help by getting your friends, family, and colleagues to log their trips. The information collected will be sent to our secure server to be used in helping us better understand what factors influence the routes that area cyclists bike along. No personal information will be released.

For more information visit cycletracksmonterey.org or find them on Facebook.


Share your "Bike Love" story on PedalLove.org
I recently wrote a blog post for Pedal Love, an initiative of the California Bicycle Coalition, and you are all invited to write and submit one, too! Read more about how I got involved here, or you can just read the post I wrote here. To submit your own story, contact Editor and Director Melissa Balmer at melissa [at] pedallove.org
