Regarding the completion of Bicycling Monterey’s 10th year (May 1, 2009 – May 1, 2019): Many people are unaware that this has been unpaid work for ten years—even though widely praised, award-winning, and linked by organizations nationwide, from the Monterey Bay Aquarium to People for Bikes and many more. Whether or not you can personally make a financial contribution to the Bicycling Monterey work, please share with others a link to either of the following:
