College Station City Council Considering Changes To Regulations Covering Ridesharing Bicycles And Related Vehicles<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

After the College Station city council issued a proclamation for National Bike Month at its last meeting, there was an update on regulations covering ridesharing or dockless bicycles and related vehicles.<\/p>\n

No action was taken on nine changes proposed by staff to city regulations. The list includes setting a 15 mile per hour speed limit and lower in designated areas, allowing electric bicycles and scooters, and requiring a specific percentage of spaces in bicycle racks for traditional bikes.<\/p>\n

Councilwoman Elizabeth Cunha said there was not enough room for regular bicycles due to the …<\/p>\n

Shaun’s east-to-west solo Route 66 tour<\/a><\/h2>\n

Day 30: Erick, OK to McLean, TX<\/h4>\n

Monday May 2, 2022, 47 miles (76 km) – Total so far: 1,223 miles (1,968 km)\nWhen I look back at this tour in a few months, if someone asks me to describe it in one word, that word will have to be "WIND!"<\/p>\n

Today was another day of grueling headwinds, but it was warm, and the roads were quiet. My legs were completely "done" at the end of the ride!<\/p>\n

I had a few notable stops today. First I stopped at the Conoco Tower Station in Shamrock, and met some wonderful ladies! I talked to Theresa and Hazel for a half-hour or so. We talked about the wind, and I mentioned that I was going to unfriend anyone on Facebook who told me I was going the wrong way. Hazel said she had Facebook, but didn’t know how …<\/p>\n

Day 31: McLean, TX to Conway, TX<\/h4>\n

Tuesday May 3, 2022, 48 miles (77 km) – Total so far: 1,271 miles (2,045 km)\nThis was the least windy day yet! It was amazing. I forgot what it was like to ride like this! It felt effortless and peaceful even when I didn’t have a slight tailwind! The headwinds are back for the next couple days, but I loved this respite.<\/p>\n

I stopped to take pictures a couple times, but mostly just kept riding. This was the first leg of the trip that took place on the Interstate highway (I-40). It was just fine. The trucks are noisy, but the shoulder was generous and clean. A few of the truckers gave friendly honks and waved. This happens when …<\/p>\n

Video: Man biking across country for traumatic brain injury awareness passes through Texoma<\/a><\/h2>\n

SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) – \u201cWhat a day, what a day, got the wind at my back, sun in my face,\u201d said biker William Galloway as he neared the Texas border from New Mexico.<\/p>\n

Galloway knows the American roads well.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraffic beeps at me sometimes,\u201d said Galloway. \u201cMust look too sexy on my bicycle.\u201d<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t always live his life speeding down the side of the road.<\/p>\n

Seventeen years ago, his world stopped.<\/p>\n

He said a drunk driver hit him, and he suffered a traumatic brain injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just so frustrating because I wanted to take it out on the guy that hit me, take it out on the system,\u201d said Galloway. \u201cI didn\u2019t ask …<\/p>\n
