Sorry to start the roundup with sad news, but 52-year-old Burleson County cyclist Donald Nelson was killed last Monday outside of Caldwell. On Wednesday, a six-year-old was run over by an SUV in Dallas. Which vehicle is the dangerous one again?
Rob D’Amico reports in a “virus-induced fog” (his words, guess I’ll trust him that he was pretty sick) on the latest iteration of the Safe Passing Law at the Leg. Here’s hoping we can finally get this thing done, make people a little safer on the road, and get on to the next big bill for bikes.
Aww… Long-distance rider Robert Hollandsworth cut short his bike tour in Langtry, Texas due to falling in love with one of the city’s remaining 18 residents!
Dallas is getting train connections to DFW airport by around 2013, The Transport Politic says. Man we are so far behind.
My Green Car (ahem) is really excited about the imminent unveiling of the WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED BICYCLE. It’s inspired in part by car racing tech, and from the description it sounds like I’d probably need my own team of mechanics to ride it. The cost is a bit out there, too, at around $35,000.
Last but not least, wow! Our very own Tsunami Cycles got a brief mention in TreeHugger. We’re gonna do a profile of that great local shop just down the road from our office later this week, too.
