CycleMAYnia returns this May with more than 30 ways to ride, explore, and connect across Santa Barbara County.

From family rides and guided tours to bike-to-work events and safety workshops, there’s something for everyone—whether you’re a regular rider or just getting started. This year’s theme, “Pedal Forward,” celebrates the simple joy of biking and the forward momentum it builds—connecting communities and opening up more ways to get around.

Ride to an event for a chance to win prizes, including an e-bike, and don’t miss the countywide Bike Challenge where workplaces compete by logging trips.

Even better, bike to the bus and ride fare-free all month on participating transit services—making it easier to mix biking and transit for everyday trips.

🎁 We’re wrapping up the AI Bike Map project’s 12 Days of Mapping! Today’s focus: median islands, diverters, forced turn islands, and full or partial street closures.

Here’s how to contribute before the first round of machine learning is applied:
1️⃣ Click the map-a-thon button at 🔗 sbcag.org/project/aibikemap/
2️⃣ Drop pins where you see these features in your neighborhood or along the commute.

Your input helps the AI model understand real community conditions when assigning levels of comfort.

👉 And remember—mapping doesn’t stop here. As conditions change, every pin you add will shape the final and future versions of the bike map.


________________________

¡Estamos terminando los 12 días de cartografía del proyecto AI Bike Map! El tema de hoy: isletas centrales, desviadores, isletas de giro obligatorio y cierres totales o parciales de calles.

Aquí tiene cómo contribuir antes de que se aplique la primera ronda de aprendizaje automático:
1️⃣ Haga clic en el botón map-a-thon en sbcag.org/project/aibikemap/
2️⃣ Marque con un pin los lugares donde vea estas características en su vecindario o en su trayecto al trabajo.

Su opinión ayuda al modelo de IA a comprender las condiciones reales de la comunidad a la hora de asignar niveles de comodidad.

Y recuerde: la cartografía no termina aquí. A medida que cambien las condiciones, cada marcador que añada dará forma a las versiones finales y futuras del mapa de bicicletas.

🚦 Streets aren’t always straight—and that’s intentional. Features like chicanes, curb extensions, speed cushions, and realigned intersections are designed to slow traffic and make biking and walking safer.

Take part in the AI Bike Map project’s 12 Days of Mapping:
1️⃣ Click the Map‑A‑Thon button at 🔗 sbcag.org/project/aibikemap/.
2️⃣ Pin locations where you see these features in your community.

Your input helps the AI model consider roadway features as it looks to assign labels of high, medium, and low comfort to every street and path in the region.

👉 Keep following along as we highlight more features and add what you see to the map!



----------------

🚦 Las calles no siempre son rectas, y eso es a propósito. Elementos como las curvas cerradas, las extensiones de los bordillos y badenes y las intersecciones realineadas están diseñados para reducir la velocidad del tráfico y hacer que andar en bicicleta y caminar sea más seguro.

Participe en los 12 días de cartografía del proyecto AI Bike Map.:

1️⃣ Haga clic en el botón Map-A-Thon en 🔗 sbcag.org/project/aibikemap/.

2️⃣ Marque con un marcador los lugares donde ve estas características en su comunidad.

Su ayuda permite al modelo de inteligencia artificial tener en cuenta las características de las carreteras a la hora de asignar etiquetas de comodidad alta, media y baja a cada calle y camino de la región.

👉 ¡Siga atento, ya que iremos destacando más funciones y añadiendo lo que vea al mapa!

🗺️ Think you know your streets? Join us for the AI Bike Map project's "12 Days of Mapping," where your input will help update Santa Barbara County’s outdated bike map.

Here's one example of how you can help:
1️⃣ Visit the Map-a-thon website 🔗 sbcag.org/project/aibikemap/
2️⃣ Consider dropping pins into the website about traffic calming features you see every day in your neighborhood or on your ride.

By following these steps, you’ll help equip the AI model to learn about real comfort and safety conditions — shaping smarter, safer routes for everyone.

👉 Over the next 12 days, we’ll share pictures of traffic-calming features you may recognize. During the Map-A-Thon, look for them in your community and add them to the map!



---------------------------------

🗺️ ¿Cree que conoce bien sus calles? Participe en el proyecto "12 días de Cartografía" de AI Bike Map, donde su aportación ayudará a actualizar el anticuado mapa ciclista del condado de Santa Bárbara.

Aquí tiene un ejemplo de cómo puede ayudar:

1️⃣ Visite el sitio web de Map-a-thon. 🔗 sbcag.org/project/aibikemap/

2️⃣ Considere la posibilidad de añadir marcadores en el sitio web sobre las medidas para reducir la velocidad del tráfico que ve todos los días en su vecindario o en sus desplazamientos.

Al seguir estos pasos, ayudará a equipar al modelo de IA para que aprenda sobre las condiciones reales de comodidad y seguridad, lo que permitirá diseñar rutas más inteligentes y seguras para todos.

👉 Durante los próximos 12 días, compartiremos fotos de elementos para moderar el tráfico que tal vez reconozca. Durante el Map-A-Thon, ¡búsquelos en su comunidad y añádalos al mapa!

🚲✨ Help Shape the Future of Biking in Santa Barbara County! ✨🚲

We’re building a community‑driven bike map to make our streets safer, connected, and accessible for bicyclists of all ages and abilities.

👉 The time has come to contribute your local knowledge — from hidden shortcuts to new bike lanes, pavement changes, and construction zones. Together, we can create a tool that reflects the real experiences of riders across our region. 🗺️

SBCAG is accepting applications for a 12-member ad hoc working group to influence a new countywide bike map using artificial intelligence (AI).

Funded by a $480,000 grant from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the AI Bike Mapping and Wayfinding Project is a partnership between SBCAG, UC Santa Barbara, and Simon Fraser University (SFU). The project will use AI to classify bike routes based on comfort levels, with input from the working group to reflect real-world biking experiences.

SBCAG encourages applicants from across Santa Barbara County with varied backgrounds, biking habits, and transportation needs. The project will build a bike map that truly represents the community—and can serve as a model across California.

The public can apply online in English or Spanish for one of the 12 available spots on the ad hoc working group. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on August 12, 2025. To learn more about the project or to apply to be in the working group visit www.sbcag.org/project/AIbikemap.
SBCAG está aceptando solicitudes para formar un grupo de trabajo ad hoc de 12 miembros con el fin de influir en la creación de un nuevo mapa ciclista para todo el condado utilizando inteligencia artificial (IA).

Financiado con una subvención de $480,000 del Departamento de Transporte de California (Caltrans), el Proyecto de Mapeo y Orientación para Bicicletas con IA es una colaboración entre SBCAG, la Universidad de California en Santa Bárbara y la Universidad Simon Fraser (SFU). El proyecto utilizará IA para clasificar las rutas para bicicletas en función de los niveles de comodidad, con la colaboración del grupo de trabajo para reflejar las experiencias reales de los ciclistas.

SBCAG anima al público de todo el condado de Santa Bárbara con diferentes antecedentes, hábitos ciclistas y necesidades de transporte a presentar su solicitud. El proyecto creará un mapa ciclista que represente fielmente a la comunidad y que pueda servir de modelo para toda California.

El público puede presentar su solicitud en línea, en inglés o español, para uno de los 12 puestos disponibles en el grupo de trabajo ad hoc. La fecha límite para presentar las solicitudes es el 12 de agosto de 2025 a las 5 p. m. Para obtener más información sobre el proyecto o para solicitar formar parte del grupo de trabajo, visite www.sbcag.org/project/AIbikemap.
