\nAs San Antonio\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s streets prepare for an estimated influx of 1.1 million people over the next 25 years, city officials have said they are counting on alternate forms of transit to alleviate the strain.
\nAbout 325,000 residents \u00e2\u20ac\u201d out of about 2 million living in Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe and Kendall counties \u00e2\u20ac\u201d cycle at least once a month, according to a recent survey by the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, a …<\/p>\n

Bike thief now has three of my bikes….<\/a><\/h2>\n

I had three bikes stolen from my garage early Saturday morning in south Austin. My garage is detached from the house but it’s in my backyard and they managed to pull this off without me, my wife, or my dog hearing anything. The garage was locked but the bikes weren’t locked up to anything inside the garage. I have three other bikes that weren’t taken. They didn’t touch anything else.
\nThese MFers are pretty ballsy or maybe just stupid. I have a pretty gnarly looking pitbull. Huge head, cropped ears, looks like she does nothing but lift weights all day. Either they didn’t care about my dog or didn’t know about her. Makes me wonder how much research they did.
\nThey are lucky I didn’t wake up. I still can’t believe my dog didn’t detect them as …<\/p>\n

\nLast Year as I started this blog, I wrote about how two accidents that didn’t need to happen.\u00c2\u00a0 One was Jose Carlos Macy who died across from the HEB on W Commerce and Calaveras and another Chase White on Broadway right before Hildebrand.\u00c2\u00a0 One year late nothing has changed, these\u00c2\u00a0 stroads are still terrible places to ride your bicycle.
\nJose Carlos Macy was riding home along the 5ft bicycle lane on W Commerce St when two people decided to turn W Commerce into a race way.\u00c2\u00a0 People are unaware that when they’re driving, the size of the lane that they’re traveling in will either encourage or discourage speeding and the wider the lane, the more accidents are likely to happen.\u00c2\u00a0 W commerce St has two 12 ft lanes and only 5ft for a bicycle lane on the left hand side while the right hand side is 9ft wide.(Image …<\/p>\n
