Bicyclists of a Feather Flock Together
By Nancy Keates
With our easy-to-follow guide, anyone can identify North America's five most dazzling species of two-wheeled
friends.
BIRDS WATCHING is a fine hobby for those with the time and inclination to traipse into nature, but the thrill of
spotting different species of bicyclists can be just as rewarding. Why travel to Argentina to find a blackbreasted plovercrest when one can spy a similarly plumed "Commuter" at the neighborhood Starbucks? No
need to squint into binoculars or get up at the crack of dawn, either—bicyclists are out and about at all hours.
People don't just "ride" bikes anymore: They commute or race or cruise, with each activity spawning
corresponding gear and attitudes. Here's our guide to identifying the various "bike tribes."
Bicyclist-watching has become much more interesting in recent years as the number of two-wheeled riders has
grown. High gas prices, better bicycles, concern about the environment, looking cool—they're all contributing
factors. And with proliferation has come specialization. People don't just "ride" bikes anymore: They commute
or race or cruise, with each activity spawning corresponding gear and attitudes. Those in the field categorize
cyclists into groups known as "bike tribes." Instead of ducks, hawks and water fowl, bicyclologists might speak
of Roadies, Cyclocrossers and Beach Cruisers.
To identify a bike tribe, note distinguishing marks, patterns and habits. Start with the dominant color and
materials of a cyclist's clothing. For example, garish jerseys and Lycra shorts indicate a Roadie, while padded
gloves, mud-spattered jackets and black cleats are the territory of Cyclocrossers. Migration patterns are
revealing. Observe the speed of travel and the treatment of other cyclists. Does the cyclist insist on riding amid
cars even when wide bicycle paths are available? Probably a Roadie. Is the cyclist out in the pouring rain?
Sounds like a Commuter. The presence of juveniles is telling, too; only a few tribes travel with offspring.
Nancy Keates on The News Hub has a field guide to the new hobby of Bicyclist-Watching. Instead of ducks,
hawks and water fowl, bicyclologists might speak of Roadies, Cyclocrossers and Beach Cruisers.
Novices are advised to bring along a field guide. A handy companion is "Bike Tribes: A Field Guide to North
American Cyclists," by Mike Magnuson, who pointed out a variety of tribe members on a recent bike safari I
took with him in Portland, Ore. Here, I've put together information on the five most common tribes (special
thanks, too, to fellow bicyclologist Andrew Bernstein, of Bicycling magazine, for his assistance). Tuck this page
in your back pocket so you'll have it on hand when you chance upon a cyclist in his or her own natural habitat.
The Roadie
No bike tribe is more common in the United States than the Roadie. Their
mien is sportiness and "performance" their goal. Roadies love passing
other bike riders; they get annoyed when they have to dodge pedestrians
walking with dogs or small children; they often ride in the middle of the
road. They tend to travel in packs and spend time in small bicycle shops.
Cannondale CAAD10 3 Ultegra
Identifying Gear: You can spot Roadies by their Lycra uniforms, which usually include tight black shorts and
neon jerseys with pockets in the back. Other telling marks are clip-on shoes and serious expressions. They
ride sleek bicycles with curved handlebars called drop bars, like the Cannondale CAAD10 3 Ultegra
($2,450, cannondale.com ), which is made of aluminum instead of pricier carbon fiber. Roadies value the
lightness because it lets them "feel" the road while providing a "supple" and "exciting" ride.
Roadies can also be identified by their helmets, which tend to be pointy and made using the least amount of
material possible. That's to increase ventilation (for those steep hills that Roadies like to be seen climbing) and
to reduce weight (nothing should slow a Roadie down). A sure sign you've spotted a Roadie is the presence of
a Giro Aeon (from $250, giro.com ), a helmet that looks like an alien skull and comes in a variety of brash color
combinations.
Roadies are attracted to eyewear that looks like a high-tech version of the safety glasses worn in high-school
shop classes, like the Tifosi Podium ($70, tifosioptics.com). Since Roadies are competitive, proof of
performance is necessary. For that, many use the Cycle Trainer 2.0 GPS Bike Computer ($250, timex.com )
which lets them download ride statistics so they can show everyone just how fast they completed that
"century." Hear the term "century" (a 100-mile ride) and it's probably a Roadie.

there is the Cabrillo entrance fee which, as you know, can be covered by
"passes" which admit 4-people on one pass. The Maritime Museum suggests
we bring locks for the bikes, and are welcome to lock them to the chain link
fence at the build site.
Lunch at Liberty Station plus a chat about the sea and the Naval Training Center and the USS Neversail.
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

Botany on a Bike
Pomegranate - Punica granatum
The pomegranate shrub is drought tolerant, though irrigation is needed for proper
fruit production, per the California Rare Fruit Growers. Water every 2-4 weeks
during the dry season when you are establishing new shrubs.
Pomegranate shrubs are one of the easiest fruits to keep, since they are usually not
affected by many pests or diseases. The fruits are full of antioxidants and thought to
have many health benefits.
Fertilize in November and March for the first two years. Otherwise, not much
fertilizer is usually needed in subsequent years.
Propagation is through cuttings taken in winter, and air layering. Seeds may be used, but varieties may not
stay true.
Look for pomegranate bushes along the side of the road when we bike out to El Monte Park on Sunday
October 7.

San Diego Bicycling Plan Calls For Bike Racks To Be Installed
Thursday, September 6, 2012 By James R. Riffel, CITY NEWS SERVICE
The city of San Diego has installed bike racks in three of its 17 Business Improvement Districts to encourage people to
ride bicycles on short errands and to events, civic officials announced today.
Andy Hanshaw, of the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, said bicyclists will be
welcomed at local shops in restaurants and could be eligible for discounts. Plans also
include "Bike local, shop local'' events, community bike rides and instruction on safe
routes, he said at a news conference.
The racks are available at Fifth and University avenues in Hillcrest, the 2200 block of El
Cajon Boulevard in front of the Lafayette Hotel, and at the intersection of 30th Street and
North Park Way in North Park.
Hanshaw said Business Improvement Districts along Adams Avenue, and in the East Village, Ocean Beach and Pacific
Beach will also join the program.
"Which communities are those? Those are the fun communities, the communities where people want to be in, the
communities where people want to spend their time,'' Councilman Todd Gloria said. He represents several of the
neighborhoods.
Gloria said the bike plan will stimulate the economy because the new racks will attract large amounts of bicyclists to
nearby shops at the cost of only three parking spaces each. Most of the city's BIDs are in older parts of town and could
use an economic boost.
The program will also help the environment and local road conditions, he said.Supervisor Ron Roberts said his office
kicked-in $25,000 in neighborhood reinvestment grants to fund the program, which fits county goals of nudging residents
toward healthy lifestyles. He agreed with Gloria that the program should pay off financially. "Make places fun and the
economy will take care of itself,'' Roberts said. The districts are a 20-year-old collaboration between the city of San Diego
and small businesses to help promote their neighborhood stores and special events. Many of the 17 BIDs in San Diego
are in older parts of town.
PHILOSOPHY. Our club, the Knickerbikers of San Diego County, was established on Friday, OCT 31, 1974. Forty-three
charter members subscribed to the idea that a regular program of bicycle touring experiences could be offered without
involving institutional encumbrances. In effect, our club was purposefully not organized. There are neither rules nor
regulations, no club officers - aside from our tongue-in-cheek representative office of Knickercommander (the club
servant) - and no business quorum. Everyone is still responsible for himself or herself. It was and still is a simple idea,
which is to go ride our bikes! Two founding principles guide our group behavior: it’s nice to be noticed, and it’s fun to be a
kid again.
