Tips for Biking in Merced

May has been national Bike Month, a time for people across the country to celebrate the benefits of biking. But even as the month comes to a close, biking continues to offer gains for our health and the health of our communities. From improved fitness and cardiovascular health, to less traffic on the road and cleaner air, biking can be a great way to stay active in our daily lives and to get out into our neighborhoods.
 
In Merced, it’s possible to stay on a bike year-round thanks to a large network of trails and dedicated bike lanes that run throughout the city and beyond. With a little knowledge and a few key techniques, a bike can take you almost anywhere you need to go. See below for a roundup of resources that will help you get to your destination safely, while staying active.
 
Road Safety
It’s essential to wear a helmet to prevent head injuries when biking, especially when you will be sharing the road with cars. Youth under 18 years old (who may be particularly vulnerable to head injuries) must wear a helmet while biking according to California state law.
More tips and regulations for safely sharing the road are available from The Merced Bicycle Coalition, a great source for any bike-related questions in Merced.
 
Maps
So you can plan out the best route to ride, detailed maps of Merced’s many bike lanes, paths, and trails are available. Google Maps offers an interactive map of the area that lets you zoom in on where you need to go, and the City of Merced has drawn up a downloadable map that you can print or view on your mobile device to keep you on track during your ride.

Get Involved
There’s a lot happening right now to make Merced even safer and more accessible for bike riders. New bike lanes and other roadway improvements will be included in the City of Merced’s Safe Routes to School/Active Transportation Plan, and groups across the county are currently developing a Regional Transportation Plan that will also help out bikers. To learn more or get involved with the local planning efforts, contact us for up-to-date information!


Consejos para andar en bicicleta en Merced

Por Katie Johnson
 
El mes de mayo a sido el mes nacional del uso de la bicicleta, es el momento para que las personas alrededor de la nación celebren los beneficios de andar en bici. Aunque el mes ya casi se termina, andar en bicicleta nos ofrece muchos beneficios a nuestra salud y la salud de nuestra comunidad. Desde ayudarnos con nuestra resistencia y salud cardiovascular, hasta para tener menos trafico y contaminación en las calles, andar en bicicleta también puede servirnos para mantenernos activos diariamente y para salir a pasear por nuestra vecindad.
 
En merced es posible andar en bicicleta durante todo el año gracias a las rutas interconectadas y a las calles dedicadas para andar en bicicleta que corren por toda la ciudad. Con un poco de conocimiento y un poco de técnica, una bicicleta te puede llevar a donde necesites o te guste ir. Enseguida podrá ver una lista de recursos e información para ayudarle a llegar a su destino seguro mientras se mantiene activo.
 
Seguridad de las calles
Es esencial que use sus cascos al andar en bicicleta para prevenir lesiones en la cabeza mientras pasea, especialmente cuando comparte la calle con los carros. Los menores de 18 años (quienes pueden ser más vulnerables en recibir lesiones de cabeza) tienen que usar casco de acuerdo a la ley de California.
Para más consejos y regulaciones de cómo compartir la calle puede ir a The Merced Bicycle Coalition, un recurso que le puede ayudar con cualquier pregunta acerca del uso de las bicicletas en Merced.
 
Mapas
Para que usted pueda planear la mejor ruta, hay mapas de Merced con detalles acerca de las calles, caminos y banquetas disponibles en donde puede andar en bicicleta. Google Maps también ofrece un mapa un poco más interactivo del área, el cual le deja acercarse o hacer “zoom” a donde usted desee ver. La ciudad de Merced también a dibujado un mapa que puede descargar e imprimir o ver en su celular para mantenerse al tanto de su ruta.
 
Manténgase activo  
Hay muchas cosas que están sucediendo para ayudar a Merced a que sea un lugar más seguro y accesible para el uso de las bicicletas. Nuevas calles y caminos para andar en bici serán incluidos en los planes de Merced Safe Routes to School/Active Transportation, y hay más grupos alrededor del condado que están desarrollando un plan para la Transportación Regional que ayudara a los que andan en bicicletas. Contáctenos para información al día de como enterarse o formar parte de los planes locales.
