Great time riding yesterday at our monthly coffee social with everyone! Make sure to come out for next month’s at Merit Coffee on November 8th 🚲

We did it, y’all! Almost three years of hard work, and we now have a new bike plan! Let’s keep it going! Next up is budget season where we’re asking for more funding, key staff positions, & more efficient construction as we speed up implementation. Get involved at dallasbicyclecoalition.org/signup

HB 3187 (the Texas House bill to cut DART) died last night! Time ran out to schedule it for a vote on the House floor. Huge victory for @ridewithdata.org! The game’s not over yet, because SB 1557 (that does the same thing) is still floating out there, but the HB dying is major progress.

May is Bike Month! Get involved at any of these events: - May 16: Bike to Work Day at Akard Station - May 17: Dallas Bike Ride (20 mile car free social ride) Use code TEAMDBC for early bird prices! - May 28: Pack City Hall for the Bike Plan Vote 🗳️ Get on the saddle and join us!

Dallas has the lowest voter turnout of any major US city. This is why we continue to see a Dallas with slow change. Join Urbanist groups of Dallas to go to the polls this Sunday. Vote for a walkable, bikeable, transit rich, affordable Dallas. Vote for Urbanism.

Join us tomorrow at Four Corners Brewing Co for our Spring General Meeting! Speakers: Catherine Richardson, NCTCOG Regional Bike Safety Action Plan Rose Thompson, Black Women Who DFW Tameca Harris, Bike Friendly South Dallas This event is free to attend, but please RSVP so we know to expect you 👇

This year, Dallas was named a Bronze level Bicycle Friendly Community! But what does that mean & how do we improve? Join the Dept. of Transportation & Public Works in partnership with the Bike League for a 1.5 day workshop on April 23-24 to discuss opportunities to make cycling safer in our city.

Leave a comment on the bike plan at dallasbikeplan2025.org! Join DBC in sending a clear message to our city's leadership- we need more funding and we need to build a basic bike network faster than 20 years. Dallas roads are dangerous, and this is a solution.

Today we’re announcing our 2025 advocacy goals to the public! Pass the Bike Plan 👉 Build the Bike Plan 👉 Make it safe We need more funding and we have to build faster. Dallas roads are dangerous and this is a solution 👇

Community advocacy is necessary to be sure Dallas not only passes the forthcoming Dallas Bike Plan but also to be sure the city implements the projects citywide. Dallas had a great plan in 2011, but very little of it was built. youtu.be/kcnE0v5ufDg?... @bikedallas.bsky.social @bikedfw.bsky.social

“A new study of early separated lane projects in the U.S. across six cities finds a rise of ridership between 21% and 171% after the lanes were installed.” The pretty strong and convincing case for protected bike-lane networks in cities. In @fastcompany.com

It amazes me how passionately small business owners fight to preserve street parking for vehicles that eclipse their very presence, while pushing back against human-scale forms of transportation that blend seamlessly into the urban fabric.

Urban life thrives when designed for people, not just cars. Safe, active routes give families the freedom to enjoy the journey, transforming routine trips into experiences full of connection and discovery.

Dallas has a new city manager. My new blog post details how critical she is to funding, planning, and building a safe citywide on-street bike network for all ages and all abilities. @bikedallas.bsky.social @biketexas.bsky.social #Dallas #VisionZero dallasbicyclecoalition.org/blog/post/ne...

Thank you @keranews.org for the coverage! Dallas is behind our peers & it's not close. Dallas has 38 mi of on street bike lanes, 51 mi of shared lanes, & 115 mi of trails. We need to think big as a city & escalate implementation after we pass the bike plan! www.keranews.org/news/2025-01...
