August Light

The outdoor life in and around Albuquerque is exceptional. One of the great amenities, a natural attractor, is the beautiful open space. I’m amazed at the places that are within reach by bicycle from our home in Albuquerque. Here are some cell phone pictures from recent rides.

The Sandia Crest National Scenic Byway is a treasure. For sure one of the prettiest roads around.

NM 337 or “South 14” is like a ladder connecting the Tijeras Canyon corridor up to the high pines

We should conserve these spaces, nourishing the distinctive rural character with eco minded development. Bicycling is a good way to enjoy this place in a sustainable, low impact and healthy fashion. Open space for cycling and walking is essential to human life.

Bicycling helps meet the Metropolitan Transportation Plan’s goal of generating more efficient use of the existing road infrastructure. It’s part of the evolving transformation of a road ethic emphasizing clean, quiet, safe and satisfying transportation. I see a lot of local residents out walking their dogs and getting exercise on the main roads in the rural East Mountains. And I also see casual cyclists getting those bikes out of the garage and enjoying a ride on a country road. These are indicators the ambiance and road ethic is safe and comfy for everyone.

There’s an inextricable connection between walking and biking. The Pro Walk Pro Bike Pro Place conference explains: “Then we evolved because we found common cause with walking: streets that are unsafe for biking are also difficult to cross for pedestrians.” This linkage is apparent on the roads of the East Mountains. There are generally no sidewalks, but the walking and biking is good. I’ve seen mothers pushing strollers and elderly people walking with canes along these roads. Right now the walking and bicycling in the East Mountains is thriving, and we can enhance it by developing ride share, park and ride and rural transit service. Traffic is moderate, mostly calm, diverse, and everyone shares space while looking out for one another in the August light. It’s personable. When I told my neighbor how much I liked August in New Mexico he said just wait until you see September. It is even more beautiful, he said.

Here are some traffic counts on the East Mountain roads in rural Bernalillo County. Many of the roads are quiet. Quiet is one of the most valuable and rare resources around.

Blue Horizons with SLO Initiatives

The photo below is Albuquerque’s main street circa 1960 from this article. The article is a tough read (I don’t necessarily recommend it), but the picture shows where we are coming from. This is the legacy we inherited and are redesigning to an environment that invites mobility freedom.

The San Luis Obispo Air Pollution Control District — slocleanair.org — is doing some really cool things. They have this character named Eco Man who draws attention to positive behaviors. Getting to work and conducting business in an efficient way is good and natural. Eco Man helps trigger those thought processes and points out the exceptional power in human decision making. Eco Man is really corny. I like him. I could see him working at Esperanza in ABQ.

Another dimension of creating change is putting clues and signals in the landscape, such as infrastructure for walking and biking, that make for attractive places. One of the changes in infrastructure we are seeing pop up around Albuquerque is the sharrow. It is cheap and basically gets more sustainability value out of the existing infrastructure by inviting people to bicycle where they are already should be bicycling. It is a little “yes we can”. Yes we can bicycle and walk more beginning today Albuquerque and the American Southwest. The sharrow and things like “share the road” signs and bike lanes help activate the sustainable transportation potential. Keep looking for ways to use the natural and built environment in healthy ways.

natural probike/walk attributes are abundant. Tijeras Canyon takes you to a plethora of country roads available to pedal and Tijeras Canyon itself is a wonderful cycle route, part of Adventure Cycling’s Route 66 cross country sojourn

The bear canyon arroyo bridge over I-25 is a delight to ride especially around dawn and dusk

The Bosque Trail along the Rio Grande green belt through the middle of Albuquerque is always perfect

The high desert is so very pretty at night. Albuquerque is known for lovely sunsets, beautiful skies, visual splendor

The places to ride here are amazing. SLO has a few programs we could adopt for Albuquerque that would help incentive change here too. I’m pulling these from their newsletter May 2015:
1) Wood burning device changout program. They’ll give you $1,000 or $2,000 dollars to change over to a clean burning heating system.
2) Rideshare rewards. They’ll pay you to choose an option other than driving your car solo to work or school. It can be the bus, the bicycle, skateboard (kids are smart), telecommute, etc.
They also have a clean school bus program . They are changing out older dirty diesel engines or adding particulate filters to make them cleaner. This is critical since young people’s lungs are more vulnerable when developing, and also helps buoy mental attitudes when we see greener buses and heavy machinery operating with care. I think we’ve got what it takes in Albuquerque and all we have to do is get behind initiatives that help us all and take a course of action to be a part of the positive change. This is something that would be good to rush after.

Exercising Sustainability on the Road Less Traveled

Something we were withholding made us weak
Until we found out that it was ourselves
We were withholding from our land of living,
And forthwith found salvation in surrender.
–Robert Frost, from The Gift Outright

Monday magic. Monday was a ride up the Crest. I was taking my time, one of those backpack rides, and I took these pictures. I was sick all last week and still am, but not riding much is not doing me any good. Riding is good. I was reminded on this climb what suffering on a bike is like. The long slow wilt on relentless grade. I gave into it and kept on churning. The journey is rewarding and seeing summer growth is amazing. Indeed the roads are lined with flowers.

There was smoke in the air from the wildfires in the pacific northwest. It looked hazy. All the shades of sky in New Mexico are incredible. I don’t think we have any bad sky days here.

The poem from Robert Frost, The Gift Outright, travels with me and helps me think about what it means to live here in New Mexico. Bicycling helps me connect with the land and develop my sense of this place. It is a great equalizer. If I wake up high minded it will humble and ground me with earth. If I am feeling poor or down bicycling helps lift me up and I feel wealthy because I’m healthy and can move with grace and dignity. When I am anxious about the future bicycling helps me be present in the moment and do what I can to make a difference today.

I am grateful I found bicycling again back in 1997. It activates potential that is hiding untapped. I see so much more when I am on my bicycle, and take in all the flavors and sense the world I’m a part of, get a feel for the shape of the day. It’s interactive and places us in conversation with people and land. It’s no wonder I’m working on sustainable transportation, developing sense of place and learning everyday I bicycle. At the conclusion of every ride when all the photos are taken and places are visited, I tell myself to bring it home. Bring the knowledge home with humility. How fortunate we are to find something we enjoy, that is also something good for us, and something we need. I keep on riding, giving myself to this land of living. Trato Hecho. There is so much more to discover right here in front of us, underneath us, all around us.

Fall Celebrations

‘Tis fruition, and not possession, that renders us happy. –Michel de Montaigne, On the Inequality Amongst Us

I came home from riding Sunday and this Ikebana arrangement pictured above had been created in our home. Mai calls it Fall Celebrations. During this time of culmination we absorb the benefits of the fertile summer season and are subdued by the power of nature.

“He has a great train, a beautiful palace, so much credit, so many thousand pounds a year; all these are about him, but not in him.” –Montaigne
And I’m reminded when I take a bike ride how rich I feel. How the wealth of these lands, these public places, are here for all of us to share and enjoy. And the treasure they hold is the same power that flows in and animates me. I try to emulate the smooth and perpetual force.

Each bike ride is perfect and makes me happy. It is nothing we can possess but only something to do, a journey. And if you have good lungs and able feet, the power is all yours.

“Every man frames his own fortune.” –Cornelius Nepos, Life of Atticus, quoted in Montainge
The integrity of nature is something we are born into. All we can do is live wisely and help other people do the same. Montaigne says “nothing is so distasteful and clogging as abundance.” This is true when it comes to unnecessary material possessions. And also true when we regard the world’s material wealth as something inexhaustible and ours for the taking. Biking and walking helps me harvest the wealth that is free and naturally replenished. The only development required is that of my own capacity for being, and faith and freedom in becoming.

Paradigm Shift in Transportation Systems

Leave a reply

“In today already walks tomorrow.” –Rachel Carson, Of Man and the Stream of Time

The US Department of Transportation is walking out some good direction and detail in their recommended approach to accommodating bicycling and walking. We are in the midst of a fundamental system-level shift in transportation, a major adaptation to our circumstances and times. Bicycling and walking are being thought of as mainstream rather than as something different or alternative. “USDOT hopes that public agencies, professional associations, advocacy groups, and others adopt this approach as a way of committing themselves to integrating bicycling and walking into the transportation mainstream.” This inclusive approach leads the way for equal choice, access and treatment. It promotes respect and more mobility freedom.

Instead of being used for escaping our problems and even compounding them, transportation is increasingly functioning for bringing people together, strengthening our social fabric and getting us moving towards solutions. The changing attitudes in transportation are part of an expanding social awareness, akin to movements in social justice, environmental sustainability, and universal human rights. Although Dickens’ paradoxical phrase continually rings true, that we are living in “the best of times, the worst of times”, I am very excited about the emerging changes that are reshaping the physical environment in which we move.

In my life when I make changes that show physical results, these are always preceded by a mental choice, a shift in attitude. It works the same way on a larger scale. Our US department of transportation has been making huge advances in public policy on bicycling and walking, and these policies and assumptions are slowly becoming more visible in our transportation systems. These changes are as big as the changes we’ve seen in the Judicial branch supporting marriage choice. These kinds of changes eliminate common reasons and justifications for discrimination, reduce unnecessary suffering, and free up the potential of choice and diversity to be fully expressed and for people to thrive and be included as part of the whole. These adjustments are a natural part of the quest for a more perfect union and happiness. They take time to manifest and it is hard work to activate principles and live by them.

I’m writing this this morning because these developments are promising although the evidence the change is happening is not always visible and apparent. These changes are something every person should know about since they guide our public lives together. With today’s policies tomorrow’s bicycling and walking culture is gathering up energy, being charged. This is something we can all embrace. Like all the social changes and advances that have happened before, the benefits are full spectrum and universal. All human beings are winners.

Some of the things the USDOT is saying on accommodating bicycling and pedestrian travel:
In a recent memorandum transmitting Program Guidance on bicycle and pedestrian issues to FHWA Division Offices, the Federal Highway Administrator wrote that “We expect every transportation agency to make accommodation for bicycling and walking a routine part of their planning, design, construction, operations and maintenance activities.” The Program Guidance itself makes a number of clear statements of intent:

Congress clearly intends for bicyclists and pedestrians to have safe, convenient access to the transportation system and sees every transportation improvement as an opportunity to enhance the safety and convenience of the two modes.
“Due consideration” of bicycle and pedestrian needs should include, at a minimum, a presumption that bicyclists and pedestrians will be accommodated in the design of new and improved transportation facilities.
To varying extents, bicyclists and pedestrians will be present on all highways and transportation facilities where they are permitted and it is clearly the intent of TEA-21 that all new and improved transportation facilities be planned, designed and constructed with this fact in mind.

In rural areas, paved shoulders should be included in all new construction and reconstruction projects on roadways used by more than 1,000 vehicles per day.

This is a good start.

How Clean is The Air

Leave a reply

The Santa Fe Institute has an upcoming seminar on Quantifying Air Pollution Exposure in Cities Through Large-Scale Data on Human Activities. They are using mobile phone data to track human movements to better quantify exposure to ambient air pollutants. “The power of big data for activity tracking in air pollution exposure assignments has yet to be unleashed”. Science is cool.

When I’m cycling I’m super attenuated to the quality of the air I’m breathing. I can smell if a person is smoking a cigarette in the car in front of me. Our sense of smell is amazing and our lungs are sensitive organs. So when a pre-particulate filter diesel powered vehicle goes by I try not to breathe too hard. But when I’m cycling and walking this is almost impossible to do.

Walking back from 1millioncups this Wednesday I encountered this group walking on Central Avenue

Manufacturers for pick ups and passenger vehicles now include particulate filters on vehicles to clean up the exhaust stream. And the fuel refineries began delivering ultra low sulfur diesel to 100% of the US on road market in 2010. Between 2007-2010 heavy duty trucks and buses were phased in with diesel engines that are 90% cleaner. California has a safer standard and aggressive implementation program. “By January 1, 2023, nearly all trucks and buses will need to have 2010 model year engines or equivalent” in the State of California. California has 9 out of the 10 most polluted cities for particulate according to the America Lung Association.

Of course the main legacy issue are older vehicles still on the road, and also unmaintained vehicles. I would love to see financing from all sectors–philanthropic, business, public–combine to facilitate faster change over to quicken the transition to cleaner air for everyone. Studies like the Santa Fe Institute’s give people better information to manage the proactive changes. There is no amount of pollution that is good for us. The USA stands up for human dignity.

I would like to visit Sequoia National Park without emerging from a polluted central valley, seeing produce growing in smog, and worrying about the smog affecting human health and the ancient trees. I would like to ride my bicycle and walk without worrying about damaging my lungs. I would like all people to be free to live where they want without being discouraged or impacted by air pollution. This is possible. By directing science to benefit human health and by taking action we can determine a better present and shape a brighter future.

Sandia Zen in Early Morning

Leave a reply

“Great Road. Elevation’s a killer…almost there…almost there…almost…” –pjammcycling.com

The Sandia Crest road carries the melody through the heart of the Wilderness enveloped by this forested mountain range tilting upwards towards the sky. With this ride within reach from my home in Albuquerque staying home is almost always better. I love riding from home.

I started a ride before 5am last Wednesday with all my lights (two front, two rear) to get over to the eastern side of the Sandia Mountains for the long climb up the Crest. So worth it. I took the preferred approach through Gutierrez Canyon. The landscape is changing rapidly from repeating monsoon showers and August’s dazzling sun. Every day is looking better.

Pedaling a bicycling in the early morning restores that youthful feeling. The measured breathing. The rhythmic cadence of circling pedals. Any extemporaneous thought is quickly grounded and dissolved in the moment. I’ve climbed the Crest 41 times this year. Sometimes I go really slowly or stop to look and listen. It is surprising how much more you hear and see when you have the mind and time for watchfulness and ample oxygen to process thoughts.

Going up a climb has a way of quieting the mind and dissipating tension. Sometimes at the top there is a feeling of peace and resolution. The suffering is not so bad as long as you are eating, drinking and prepare sufficiently. It is purifying. The Crest is a beautiful climb for many reasons, one of them being the road takes you all the way to the top. Might as well take a breather and go up to the observation platform. Persistent effort pays off. Look at this beautiful day.

On one ride with an ecologist friend I listened to all his skills and words to recognize and describe the life on the mountain. The bird songs he knew. The landscape is teaming with plants and animals. Understanding little we watch to learn more. We don’t even know how many bears live here. A bicycle ride is a window to a fuller sense of this place perched atop the eastern shield of the grand circle of the American Southwest. This poem comes to mind:

Stay Home by Wendell Berry

I will wait here in the fields
to see how well the rain
brings on the grass.
In the labor of the fields
longer than a man’s life
I am at home. Don’t come with me.
You stay home too.

I will be standing in the woods
where the old trees
move only with the wind
and then with gravity.
In the stillness of the trees
I am at home. Don’t come with me.
You stay home too.

reach

I feel at home on the mountain. I share this property with over 300,000,000 Americans and many foreign guests and I realize it is not property at all but my growing knowledge of it, and respect for it, is all that matters as I cycle onward. Through movement I am still.

The Gift of the Rift, or East and West Exuberance

Leave a reply

There are so many places to bike in and around Albuquerque. Early Monday morning before sunrise I pedaled up the Paseo de las Montañas toward the Sandia Mountains and watched sunrise near Elena Gallegos park. And this morning I rode west crossing the Río Grande and warmed up underneath the basalt rock Volcano Cliffs. Still using my cell phone for photos.

Albuquerque is built on gravel and sand in the Río Grande rift valley, which is one of the youngest and largest continental rift valleys on earth, geologically similar to the East African rift valley. The river has followed the rift valley south from Colorado. It is no wonder this place is so ecologically diverse and interesting, with these geological processes at work. The Sandia Mountains are the oldest rock around Albuquerque and make up the eastern edge of the rift valley. They are fault block mountains and 1.4 billion years old. The trails in the High Desert and Elena Gallegos areas are so well maintained I can get up there with my trusty Trek bike.

The volcanic fields on the west side in the following pictures are relatively young. The volcanoes erupted 140,000-220,000 years ago. The magma worked its way up through a fissure crack and spattered through a series of cones. The three main cones–Vulcan, Black, and JA–are subtle yet beautiful imprints on the western horizon, clearly visible from almost anywhere in town. The Río Grande channel erodes the lowest area between the Sandia and Volcanoes and the edge of the river’s erosion is the volcanic escarpment on the west mesa, or Volcano Cliffs.

I was amazed encountering these flowers today. We have Broom Dalea (purple sage), Jimson Weed, Sand Sage, and abundant sunflowers. This is my first August here in Albuquerque and the landscape’s variation through the season is remarkable. The volcanoes didn’t look like this earlier this year. The diversity between the east side of the valley and the west side is stunning. It makes for a quite a special place to live and ride, and makes it difficult to pick the better side. Both incredible. I’m building posts covering the bike infrastructure on both sides.

Oregon Embracing People with Bike Travel Initiative

“More Americans bicycle than golf, ski and play tennis combined.” –Travel Oregon’s bike friendly business program

When I was driving truck all across America the two States that stood out as most beautiful were New Mexico and Oregon. Although I loved driving the 18-wheeler I longed to climb out of the cab and get out on my own to explore more. So I’m excited to see Oregon has launched an initiative to encourage people to get to know the landscape via bicycle travel. Travel Oregon has created the 7 bikes for 7 wonders campaign to place people in Oregon’s incredible landscapes on top of sweet bikes. Each of the 7 bikes was fashioned to match one of the 7 wonderful places in scenic Oregon. The builder for the Painted Hills Bike says “if you rode around here you would just drop your jaw…it is just beautiful here. Worth the ride.”

Oregon is the first State in the Nation to build a scenic bikeways program. Bicycling is the perfect match for people so restless to explore, touch and experience. “Pioneer your own vacation…every road is an invitation to adventure” says Ride Oregon. They have a nice catalogue of rides. Here is one that shows how a group mixes in bike travel with other experiences such as camping, hiking and rock climbing. And of course good food.

It is so nice to see people extended permission to reacquaint ourselves with the country through the powerful sense of freedom and joy that bicycling brings us. It is truly a perfect way for people to explore and rejuvenate. The upside is enormous and there is no downside. Bicycling gets people moving forward. Tomorrow on August 8th the Crater Lake bike finding adventure is on. So if you want to go explore Oregon you might find a bike too. The Crater Lake bike was made for that special place. “Where else can you go ride around a volcano” says the bike maker. There is another place. In Valles Caldera National Preserve, New Mexico you can bicycle in a supervolcano through huge meadows with old growth trees while viewing the State’s largest elk herd. You can find hot springs. Peace and solitude. What better way to sense and preserve the natural ambiance than to explore New Mexico and Valles Caldera on foot and by bicycle. I’d better keep working on my Southwest Bike Initiative.

Elevating Cycling at the Tour of Utah

Leave a reply

“Without a doubt, the Tour of Utah has achieved world-class status. Our event not only represents a forum for showcasing athletic perfection, but communicates a broader message: how individual attention to personal health and physical activity at every age will lead to a stronger, healthier society.” –Tour of Utah

I’ve been so excited watching the Tour of Utah I was up before sunrise cycling this morning

I’ve been tuning into the 10th edition of the Tour of Utah daily. The Utah Sports Commission is sponsoring a free broadcast with Tim Johnson and Frankie Andreu, two former pro cyclists, as knowledgeable announcers. The broadcast gives an intimate look inside the sport of cycling and is showcasing how cycling fits into the greater fabric of American communities. Mayors, CEO’s and more dignitaries drop in as guests in the broadcast booth for short interviews and story telling while the racing unfolds. Cameras stay with the race broadcasting from motorbikes and helicopters for non-stop action. Seeing the tour travel through the Utah landscape is stunningly beautiful and the fans and racers are delivering high energy and exciting competition. Everyone is learning about Utah, cycling, health, the host communities.

The tour tracker web interface has useful information and graphics and you can go full screen

It’s a world class field. The first day three Americans from Boulder finished 1 2 3. Yesterday Logan Owen, a 20 year old American who started riding on BMX bikes, won with a swift sprint and deft bike handling. Kiel Riejnen, an American from Boulder, has been in the overall race lead the whole race so far though that may have changed today after Stage 4.

You get some crazy fans including this guy with the flag wearing a big antler helmet

The race is in its tenth year and is super well organized. They network the event into the host communities with kids bike races at the start/finish lines on downtown Main Streets. Mayor Mike Caldwell of Ogden is adoring affiliating his city with this event. He talked about how Ogden is attracting a cycling industry cluster to develop the economy. Mayor Caldwell commutes by bike and is expecting his bike planning process to start showing physical and visible improvements to make it easier for people to bike in Ogden. I get to race at Masters Nationals in Ogden this early September on some of the same roads the Tour of Utah rolled on.

At yesterday’s stage three finish in Bountiful Mayor Randy Lewis lined the 9 mile finishing circuit and Main Street with flags and 50,000 people showed up to cheer on the cyclists. Mayor Lewis glowed about the cooperative environment that brought the race to its first ever visit to Bountiful and praised the County Commissioners, the city staff, and the enthusiastic citizens.

Tim Johnson on the left kinda looks like Kevin Spacey. I did a blog post on him called “racer as advocate”. His partner in the booth Frankie Andreau has a motor that lasts all race long. These guys are top notch and ride their bikes to work

If you look at the partners the Tour of Utah has assembled the diversity of involvement in pro cycling is incredible. You’ve got banks, health care, the automotive industry, tech industries, aerospace, cycling manufacturers, the Office of Tourism, Shell Oil, In and Out Burger, Subway, Papa Johns, and a ton more. Everyone wants to be a part of the sport that is practicable and timely, something that lifts up the livability and desirability of every community. Washakie Renewable Energy is also a sponsor. They make biodiesel and provide services to directly address pressing challenges in Utah’s Wasatch Front communities, including the air quality issues exacerbated by winter temperature inversions. Everyone is eager to enjoy and associate with the compounding benefits of cycling. Last year viewers from 164 different countries watched the Tour of Utah online. Tourism and recreation is a driver of the Utah economy. Nearly 8 billion dollars were spent in 2014. Cycling elevates the profile of Utah, and synergizes well with skiing, outdoor lifestyles and the interest in health and wellness.

Friday’s race is a circuit race through Salt Lake City including the Capitol Hill neighborhood and tons of fans will be cheering on the action out in the streets. Saturday and Sunday feature high mountain passes the Tour of Utah is most famous for (“the hardest race in America”) and the overall race leader will emerge. I’m picking Lachlan Morton or Chris Horner, but no matter what, we’ll watch some of the best athletes in the world performing at the pinnacle of the sport in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Go Cycle Utah or wherever it is you live.

It’s so fun I want to do this again tomorrow. That is cycling.
