On March 15, the Blaine City Council voted 5-2 against a design, bid and build project to build sidewalks on 91st Avenue and Jackson Street near Westwood Middle School in Blaine. The project would have been paid for 100% by a Safe Routes to School grant previously discussed. The application was the third application made by city [...] March 31st, 2012 | Category: anoka county, bicycle routes, bicyclists, biking with kids, blaine, children on bikes, crosswalks, evaluation, federal funds, jerks, legislation, minnesota, pedestrian access, politics, public meetings, safe routes to schools, sidewalks, suburbs, traffic calming, transportation options, urban planning | One comment - (Comments are closed)
The other day I referenced the sheer amount of street traffic that comes into play from parents driving their kids to school. There are similar figures available for how much filth the school pickup carline emits (right next to the school!). Getting at least SOME of these trips done via biking or walking is huge for traffic [...] March 26th, 2012 | Category: bicyclists, biking with kids, children on bikes, complete streets, safe routes to schools, sidewalks, traffic calming, transportation options | Comments are closed
The little dude abides. After the Women’s Cycling Forum on Wednesday, I posted about how some of the messaging made me rantier and more cranky than usual.

BikeMN is leading the Minnesota delegation, and has arranged legislative visits for all of [...] March 22nd, 2012 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle alliance of minnesota, bicyclists, bike events, encouragement, enforcement, evaluation, federal funds, league of american bicyclists, legislation, minnesota, politics, roadway design, roadway use, share the road, transportation options | Comments are closed
As part of this year’s National Bike Summit, there was an afternoon Women’s Cycling Forum. The promotional description was quasi-promising: Women still cycle at much lower rates than men in the United States — making up just 24 percent of bike trips in 2009. But that trend is shifting. We’re eager to learn from our peers, share [...] March 21st, 2012 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle commuting, bicycle retailing, bicycle routes, bicycle safety, bicyclists, bike education, damn lies, encouragement, league of american bicyclists, share the road, transportation options, twitter, washington, women | 5 comments - (Comments are closed)
I realize I haven’t said much about the Bike Summit here at Ride Boldly! Which, let’s get down to it: It’s been bloody nice. I’ve been working something that semi-resembles a normal job during human hours. One that requires the wearing of pants. I’ve been busy, okay? But. I provided a recap to our friends at BikeMN [...] March 17th, 2012 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle alliance of minnesota, bicycle laws, bicycle safety, bicyclists, bike events, enforcement, engineering, evaluation, legislation, minnesota, safe routes to schools, share the road, st. paul, suburbs, transportation options, urban planning | Comments are closed
