Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏

The bicycle education program at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center was founded by Bicycling Monterey in April 2012 and still rolls on in April 2025!

The bike tech class series—providing bicycle repair and maintenance instruction—is only possible because of two volunteers who stepped up in 2012 and still continue volunteering on this 13th anniversary: Frank Henderson and Luciano Rodriguez.

A quotation from J. M. Barrie

MRS. DARLING: (from the window) Peter, where are you? Let me adopt you too. (She is the loveliest age for a woman, but too old to see PETER clearly.)
 
PETER: Would you send me to school?
 
MRS. DARLING: (obligingly) Yes.
 
PETER: And then to an office?
 
MRS. DARLING: I suppose so.
 
PETER: Soon I should be a man?
 
MRS. DARLING: Very soon.
 
PETER: (passionately) I don’t want to go to school and learn solemn things. No one is going to catch me, lady, and make me a man. I want always to be a little boy and to have fun.

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
Peter Pan, Act 5 (1904, pub. 1928)

Woodcraft Folk has had a strong relationship with the consumer co-operative movement and a distinctive philosophy based around education for social change, it has played a major role in promoting a progressive approach to informal learning by children and young people.

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Little of all we value here
Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year
Without both feeling and looking queer.
In fact, there’s nothing that keeps its youth,
So far as I know, but a tree and truth.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Poem (1858-09), “The Deacon’s Masterpiece,” Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 2, No. 4
