Here are America’s Best New Bike Lanes of 2023
by: Ron Johnson | momentummag.com
Every six months of so, Momentum publishes a crowd-sourced list of the worst bike lanes on the planet. It’s fun, and hopefully the naming and shaming plays a role in bringing about change. But it’s also important to give a proverbial pat the back when good things happen. And that’s what bicycle advocacy organization People For Bikes did recently with the publication of a list of the best bike lanes in America.
The surge in bike lane projects witnessed last year is just the beginning, with thousands more in the pipeline and an unprecedented influx of federal funds promising an even brighter future for cyclists.

Day 7:Alpine to Marathon: 22mph tailwinds, yes please
Thursday January 18, 2024, 31 miles (50 km) – Total so far: 274 miles (441 km) We only had thirty miles to cover today, the temperature was warming up, and we were going to have a lot of wind. Thankfully entirely on our backs.
Before we left Alpine we got coffee and breakfast sandwiches from the Bread Garden. The owner Gavi bakes all of her bread and we were able to try her fresh baked English muffins. Incredible! Highly recommend stopping there while going through Alpine. She also carries to go sandwiches and lots of healthy snacks
The ride today was gentle ups and downs, continued great shoulders, and a nice downhill into Marathon. Highway 90 is really a dream road to ride.
We got into Marathon early so we stopped at …
Day 8:Marathon to Sanderson: Here come the headwinds!
Friday January 19, 2024, 55 miles (89 km) – Total so far: 329 miles (529 km) We’ve been lucky so far. We have had tailwinds most of this stretch in Texas. Today, we got the strong headwinds all day. And it was cold.
We woke up in our tent at 6am to the wind whipping every which way. We finally dragged ourselves out at 8, packed up, and went to get coffee and something to eat. We probably should have gone back to the French Grocer but chose to try the V6 coffeeshop attached to the Gage Hotel. It was overpriced and a bit snobby for us but it was fuel for our long day.
It was just above freezing when we left Marathon and the …
