Getting the right tyre pressure is quite a tedious task, but an important one if you want to enjoy your rides! However, many of us take it for granted thinking that it doesn’t do much help. Ollie, on the other hand, is here to tell you that you should think about tyre pressure more carefully with some science to back it up!
Plan Description
Caltrans District 7 is planning to identify and evaluate short-term, medium-term, and long-term potential projects and potential funding sources that could be implemented to improve safety and reduce the rate and severity of collisions within the portion of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in the City of Malibu – also known as State Route 1 (SR-1) in the State of California’s highway numbering system. PCH serves as a critical transportation artery in the City of Malibu as it contains, or provides access to, most of the City’s commercial, residential, and recreational areas.
In recent years, PCH in Malibu has seen numerous fatal collisions and severe injuries. The focus of this Feasibility Study is to identify transportation improvements that will address safety for all users with an emphasis on supporting multimodal travel options for pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as enhancing transit opportunities, for the portion of PCH in Malibu.
Overview and Objectives
- Identification of safety priority areas, based on collision data.
- Building upon implemented short-term, and planned mid-term improvements, identification and evaluation of long-term measures to improve safety for and interactions amongst vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians while preserving Malibu as residential community and tourist destination.
- Identification of opportunities to incorporate features supporting safe travel options for all travel modes.
The second phase study of creating a 9 mile linear park is coming WITH YOUR HELP.
In 2021 the City began a high-level study which envisioned the Wash as a nine mile green space from its confluence with the LA River up to Crescenta Valley Park. It includes bike and pedestrian trails with access to business and entertainment venues, and connects several important city centers, services and a multitude of neighborhoods that make up a large core of Glendale.
In 2022 the Council approved the plan, and authorized City staff to establish the groundwork for a second-phase study to continue this work on a more detailed level. This coming Tuesday at 6 PM, this proposal will be presented, and Council will be asked to authorize it.
Your attendance at this meeting is critical. As you may have seen on social media, there has been push back against improvements to the Wash by a few small, but vocal groups. Transformative changes like this can be hard, so we need to show our elected officials that there is strong support for this project from citizens across the city. Please get involved in one of the following ways, in order of benefit using our Action Alert explained here.
Priority 1: Attend the City Council meeting – Tuesday at 6pm. Please join us! This is the most impactful way to communicate your support to your city council members. Please reply to this email to let us know you are coming! Address: Glendale City Hall, 613 E Broadway, Glendale, CA 91206
Priority 2: Email City Council in support of the bike plan. If you are unable to attend the meeting, please send an email to your city council members. We suggest sending your email by 12 pm this Monday to ensure it’s read ahead of the meeting.

Van Rysel has hit the ground running this year. The Decathlon-owned brand now sponsors the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team, providing them with Van Rysel bikes and a range of the brand’s kit and equipment. The team has generated a positive buzz this year for creating a successful and more budget-friendly WorldTour level bike, and the brand’s clothing and helmets don’t break the bank either.
