We ambled into Ferris and meet the City Manager Eric Strong. Presented a check and “checked” out a few things on the rally checklist. We then ambled on to visit the Chief of Police Sam Love.

City Wants A Bike Boulevard Downtown
02:10 video
A one mile stretch of Nueces Street will be transformed into a safe haven for bicyclists under this new plan, but drivers will have a harder time navigating the changes. Cars outnumber bikes on Nueces Street in downtown Austin now, but the City of Austin is trying to reverse that trend with Austin’s first bicycle boulevard.

A Ride in Austin Texas
by admin
This last week our editors had a chance to ride the roads of Austin Texas as part of an organized group ride presented by the Austin Cycling Association (ACA). Austin has quickly become known as the hip part of Texas where it is actually okay to lean slightly to the left. The city displays this liberal slant by creating, signing, and maintaining usable bike lanes and pedestrian walkways. …

by The Texas Triffid Ranch – Odd Plants and Oddities
“And the Bikepath Warrior? That was the last we ever saw of him.”
Okay, I’ve been bicycling to work and for errands for nearly six straight years, only driving when the weather was too foul, and I’ve been biking for a lot longer than that. In that time, I’ve come perilously close to being taken out on Dallas streets by inattentive, arrogant, and/or senile drivers more often than I’d care to admit to the Czarina. …
