Undercover Houston Cops On Bikes Are Nabbing Drivers Dangerous To Cyclists

www.fastcoexist.com


In Houston, cops are taking a novel approach to arresting jerks who cut off cyclists. They’re going undercover on two wheels, and when things get too tight for the law, they’re calling in for support.
In 2012, if you were cycling around the country, Houston ranked as one of the worst cities to make a stop. Out of 51 American cities in the last Alliance for Biking and Walking report, listed from low to high cyclist fatalities, Houston beat out other lethal cities for number 41.
Houston ranks near the bottom of U.S. cities for bike safety.
But Houston could turn itself around, especially now that it’s implementing a “Goal Zero” bike safety program that aims to keep all its cyclists alive. Last Tuesday, Mayor Annise Parker announced a series of changes to the way the city went about its transportation business. Among …

Houston Will Get Its First Bicycle Master Plan in 20 Years

By Michael Barajas        blogs.houstonpress.com


While the death of Chelsea Norman — hit by a driver in Montrose while biking home from her Whole Foods job and left to die in the street — helped raise awareness about the pitiful state of bike safety in Houston, bicyclists keep getting hit by cars here. At least eight have been struck and killed since Norman’s December 2013 crash, according to local advocates.
When it comes to large cities, Houston’s still at the bottom of the pack when it comes to being bike friendly, says Michael Payne, executive director with BikeHouston. “Houston is in bottom quartile compared to our peer group, in terms of investment and in terms of …

Bicycling commuter not stopped by cold, snow

CARRIE COCHRAN, The Cincinnati Enquirer        www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com


MADEIRA, Ohio – When Fraser Cunningham stepped outside of his Madeira home Friday morning, it was still dark.
It was darn cold, too. His Garmin told him it was minus 10 degrees.
And, just like he’s been doing every single morning at 5:30 for more than 18 months, the 56-year-old GE engineer hopped on his bicycle and rode to work.
It was so cold, that his eyes literally froze open during the trek.
“It’s better than freezing shut,” he said.
Cunningham hadn’t missed a day commuting by bicycle since July 22, 2013. Hoping …

Jalapeño 100 bicyclists go the distance

By TRAVIS M. WHITEHEAD Staff Writer        www.valleymorningstar.com


HARLINGEN — A strong wind confronted the riders in the 25th annual Jalapeño 100 bicycle ride Saturday, but they stayed the course.
“Going against the wind was tough,” said Marcello Furlan, 75. “Coming back was a pleasure.”
Furlan was one of 701 bicyclists who came out early Saturday for the event.
There were five courses of varying distances: 12 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles, 62.5 miles and 100 miles. They all began at the Oil Mill Pavilion at 906 Fair Park Blvd. The …

Selma to Montgomery: On bikes, riders experience history

Kym Klass, Montgomery Advertiser


Editor’s Note: Montgomery Advertiser reporter KymKlass was one of 350 cyclists who took part in Saturday’s Selma to Montgomery Voters Rights March bike ride, starting at Riverside Park in Selma, and finishing 54 miles later at the State Capitol Building.
SELMA – The journey started here, on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, and took cyclists on long, rolling hills in Dallas and Lowndes counties.
The 54-mile route from the bridge to the State Capitol Building took 350 cyclists through history — on a route and through a time that was met with violence, anger, but also with perseverance and an unparalleled strength. …

Bob Seger rocked our Valentine’s Day, & Ready2Roll MS 150 Training; Weeks 4 & 5

The Surly Biker

So last weekend was Valentine’s Day, and because we had some hoopla scheduled we skipped the Ready 2 Roll training ride. Not a big deal. So, no pictures from last week. Instead, we went with another couple to the Hobby Center in downtown Houston to see a show: Kinky Boots. And it was fabulous. Lots of fun, super funny, and even as a guy who doesn’t attend many musicals – had a great soundtrack. Highly recommended – not for the kids though. Just adults.
After the show we went further into downtown to Prohibition Supperclub & Bar for a special Valentine’s Day dinner. It was a pretty swell place. We didn’t see the show there, as we had just …

Is It Getting More Dangerous Out There?

Bike Noob

My friend Ramon H. from the Rio Grande Valley recently had a shock when a drunk driver plowed into several members of a group ride he was in. Two were banged up, and one went to a local hospital’s ICU. Ironically, the group was riding in honor of another of their cycling circle who was killed a year ago — again, by a drunk driver.
The crash rattled Ramon, and he is reassessing his commitment to cycling.
“At this point,” he wrote me, “I am not sure what the future holds for me as it pertains to pre-dawn cycling or road cycling in general.  This …

I look forward to the Walburg road race every year. The rolling windswept course suits me. Last two times I’ve done the Pro 1 race there I’ve been third and fifth.
Two years ago I lined up at Walburg having not raced in a few years. I’d been riding for about 7-months after a solid 5-year hiatus. I was 30-pounds over weight. I had hairy legs. I filled my jersey and shorts out like a burrito. I was not on par with the elite riders but because a previous version of myself had raced at that level, I was still considered “elite.” On paper at …

Benefits of a Bicycle

by: Omar C. Garcia        gobeyondblog.com

When I was a kid, my bicycle was my passport to adventure. Back in those days bicycles pretty much came in one style — basically in some variation of the iconic Western Flyer style. Single speed. Big tires. Padded seat. A kickstand. And, of course, those colorful streamers on the handlebar grips. This was cool stuff back in the day. I still remember saving money to accessorize my bike. I bought a basket that attached to the front forks so that I could carry my books to school. Nerdy by today’s standards. Probably nerdy in …
