Shouts out to @reubencollins on ze Twitter for tweeting this article about people looking to have the resurfacing project on Snelling Avenue in St. Paul include bike lanes. This is a reasonably good article, with some gaps. The main gap is really surrounding the concept of Complete Streets, and I’m not strictly certain that’s on the author [...] January 7th, 2012 | Category: bicycle commuting, bicycle facilities, bicycle routes, bicycle safety, bicyclists, bike lanes, complete streets, crosswalks, cycling in the media, enforcement, engineering, evaluation, jerks, minnesota, pedestrian access, public meetings, road construction, roadway design, roadway use, share the road, st. paul, traffic accidents, traffic calming, transportation options, urban planning | 3 comments - (Comments are closed)
So, there’s been a bunch of buzz about Minneapolis and bicycles lately. Grist is all a-flutter about Minneapolis as a bicycle town. There’s the kerfuffle about the Minneapolis bicycle coordinator hiring, as evidenced in this Star-Tribune story (and the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition’s recommended response). There was a bunch of gushing praise about bike-sharing and infrastructure following [...] August 27th, 2011 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle routes, bicycle safety, bicyclists, bike lanes, bike sharing, bike trails, Bike Walk Twin Cities, common sense, complete streets, cycling in the media, encouragement, engineering, evaluation, federal funds, legislation, minneapolis, minnesota, non-motorized transportation pilot program, politics, road construction, roadway design, roadway use, share the road, st. paul, suburbs, taxes, traffic calming, transportation options, urban planning | 14 comments - (Comments are closed)
Last night’s Good Question on WCCO was about bicycle law. I and a member of the Minneapolis Bicycle Ambassadors spoke to WCCO on the topic. The coverage is pretty reasonable (although they did spell my name wrong online, ooga booga). It hit two of the things I emphasized, although some of the quote was me, some from [...] June 9th, 2011 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle alliance of minnesota, bicycle commuting, bicycle laws, bicycle safety, bicyclists, bike education, bike to work week, cycling in the media, cycling on TV, education, league of american bicyclists, minneapolis, minnesota, roadway use, share the road | 8 comments - (Comments are closed)
Tonight’s Good Question with Jason Derusha on WCCO News at 10 will be on the subject of bicycle safety, specifically the laws for bicycle-car interaction. I will be a part of the segment, talking about bike laws and bicycle safety. Given my feelings about media coverage of bicycles, this is a moment in which I’m trying to [...] June 8th, 2011 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle commuting, bicycle safety, bicyclists, bike to work week, cycling in the media, cycling on TV, encouragement, legislation, minneapolis, minnesota, politics, roadway use, share the road, traffic calming, transportation options, vehicular cycling | Comments are closed
Regular readers of this site will know that I can be a bit of a crank about certain types of bicycle facilities: Signage alone doesn’t make a route ‘bicycle-friendly.’ Paint jobs sometimes just indicate what the knowledgeable already know. Generally speaking, every type of bicycle facility has its own drawbacks. Frequently, [...] February 2nd, 2011 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle bridges, bicycle facilities, bicycle routes, bicycle safety, bicyclists, bike education, bike lanes, bike trails, cedar lake trail, children on bikes, common sense, complete streets, cycling in the media, engineering, europe, evaluation, minneapolis, minnesota, road construction, roadway design, roadway use, share the road, st. paul, transportation options, urban planning | Comments are closed
There has been the expected annual spate of winter cycling stories on multiple local news channels and sites – from the Strib and PiPress to features on local news and radio programs. There is a common theme to these stories: Hey, look at the freaks! Sure, many of the stories have positive elements, such as the riders [...] January 24th, 2011 | Category: bicycle commuting, bicyclists, cycling in the media, cycling on TV, encouragement, minneapolis, minnesota, transportation options, winter cycling | Comments are closed
