There’s a new kid on the block in the Dallas bike scene. Head on over to http://bikefriendlykh.wordpress.com/ and say “hi” to Bike Friendly Knox-Henderson.
Their charge is to: “…improve cycling infrastructure in Uptown and East Dallas.” I’m excited to see these guys on the scene cuz, after all, this is my hood.

The Dallas Observer put together a great article on the issues facing Dallas’ cycling community. Not only do they do a good job of talking towards the future of cycling in Dallas, but a nice job of explaining how Dallas arrived where it is today.

Along with a video interview of Danish planner, Jan Gehl, Bike Friendly Oak Cliff has a nice point of view on bicycle infrastructure and shared streets:
“This is a major point we stress at BFOC when discussing bicycle lane and boulevard development. It’s not merely a way to allow cyclists safe space to ride, but the implementation changes the overall psychology of a street, making it notably focused on people. It’s one tool of many that cities experiencing major revitalization and redevelopment have used with great success (ie. Portland, Austin, Boulder).” -BFOC

I’ve posted a found version of Dallas’ bicycle helmet law to my personal site. Find the original page here.
Considering the city of Dallas has stated that they will once again begin enforcing it’s silly/heavy-handed law I thought it was time to talk about what we as citizens can do to fight back. Read more after the jump.
