@bikeleague.bsky.social has released the 2024 Bicycle Friendly State Report Cards! Texas "spends a very low amount of federal funding on biking and walking per capita–less than the cost of one Whataburger Jr. annually per person.” www.bikedenton.org/news/texas-r...

"If you care about the bottom line, and you care about budgets and taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver."

Thank you to Denton City Councilmember, Brian Beck (District 2), for requesting staff look into this issue during yesterday's Mobility Committee meeting.

A new pedestrian crossing lacks basic infrastructure for safe crossing. City staff have not shared any plans or commitment to address the safety concerns despite multiple requests by Bike Denton since September 8. #DangerousByDesign #VisionZero www.bikedenton.org/news/new-ped...

Bikes are allowed to be on the road, in your lane. Period. Whether you're driving, cycling, rolling, or walking, we all deserve to get home safely. Share this video to help spread the word about sharing the road responsibly: youtu.be/IJN3fTsg76g?...
