Several intersections become bike-friendlier
from Bike Denton by bikedenton
Have you ever been stuck at a red light that won’t change? If so, there are a few Denton intersections that WILL change for bicycles now. When fewer cyclists run red lights, there are fewer accidents, fewer scofflaws (which enhance negative stereotypes), and cyclists get a better sense that the system is accommodating them. In towns all over…

September 7th Bike Ride – Still in Savannah, GA
[iframe http://connect.garmin.com:80/activity/embed/48067051 465 548]
I am still in Savannah for today. Today’s ride was much better route-wise since I knew how most of the bike lanes are arranged. I did not get lost but traffic was busier today now that Labor Day has passed. School buses were on their routes when I rode this morning. I stuck to the roads with bike lanes or wide shoulders that were equal to or wider than the bike lanes. This must have been what the 8 other bicyclists I saw had in mind. I passed them with in the opposite direction while I was headed back to the hotel. We exchanged waves from opposite sides of the 4 lane road. The weather was ride perfect but very humid at 84%. Partly cloudy skies, 78 degrees, and north 4 mph breeze were waiting when I started.
Today’s ride statistics from my Garmin Edge 305:
- miles 23.73
- riding time 1:32:43
- average speed 15.2 mph
- max speed 18.7 mph (I do no think this is correct)
- average cadence 85 rpm
- max cadence 104 rpm
- elevation gain and loss 45 ft.
- minimum elevation 1 ft., max elevation 41 ft.
- September miles 114.62
- YTD miles 3859.17
