Bike Friendly Oak Cliff has an interview with Boston’s Bike Coordinator, Nicole Freedman. Guess what? They’re installing bike lanes like crazy up there, trying to catch up with other cities. For even more National Bike Summit news, look no further than D.C.’s own TheWashCycle, which reports on the free sessions and speeches. The Bicycle Advocacy [...]

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 [...]

Miami has been trying to ramp up their bike infrastructure in a huge hurry the past couple years. The Mayor has committed to spending at least $1 million on bike lanes in 2009, Transit Miami reports. Elliott’s put together a great list of photos from NAHBS, but I couldn’t help but want to share this [...]

What I’ve seen in the past week that I wanted to share with Austin Bike Blog readers: Brain Pickings, a side which focuses on “brilliant ideas” has an interesting post about bike culture innovations. A couple of the ideas are pretty good. Unfortunately, two of them are also on our Dumbest Product of the Week [...]

There’s some really great cycling news out there, the national stimulus package notwithstanding (although having $10 billion for transit in there can’t be all bad, can it?).
