I'll second Crosslink. I use them for all my custom frames at Violet Crown Cycles (http://violetcrowncycles.com). I had a little trouble with the finish early on (About 3 years ago), but they always re-shot the frame to fix it at no charge. Since that time, they worked out the kinks and I've been very happy with their work. As other positives, the price is far lower than wet paint, more durable, and better for the environment. Unless you need 2 tone or pictorial designs on your frame, there really isn't a reason not to go powder coat these days.
Michael,
My children's school, St. Elmo Elementary, is on the Safe Routes to School program this year. At our campus, the current focus is getting regularly walking. The bike push will be coming later in the year. Maybe that is what is happening at Kealing?
I do not fault the staff. This year they have 4 people, but they are responsible for the entire city (I believe 5-6 campuses city-wide.) I think the larger problem is lack of resources, not too many. The Safe Routes to School program should be done at every campus, every year. Would that be expensive? Yes, but cheaper in the long run than just one highway fly-over which we would not need if we made the city truly bikeable/walkable (not to mention the 100s of millions saved in health care costs.)
I wrote more about this here including the strange absence of involving drivers in making routes to school safer: http://austinontwowheels.org/2011/09/16 … -the-bull/
Michael,
I try to post all of them on my Google events calendar: http://austinontwowheels.org/cycling-events-calendar/. This includes all the social rides I am contacted about or hear about, not just Social Cycling Austin.
Social Cycling Austin now has 3-4 weekly rides in addition to the Thursday Night Social Ride. They vary from ladies only to yoga to a beginner friendly ride. Not all are weekly so I recommend you join their Facebook page to make sure you learn about them.
The Gazelle Cabby is SOLD.
Other Dutch Bikes and accessories are still available: http://livingontwowheels.org/bikesale.html We'll be at Frankenbike tomorrow, Saturday, May 28, 10-4 with the demo sales items. This month Frankenbike is at BikeTexas, 1902 East 6th St. We'll be offering a special additional discount for Frankenbike shoppers. We'll have the ability to process credit cards while at Frankenbike so you can use plastic if you like (Visa, Mastercard, Discover.)
This spring, Austin on Two Wheels hosted a series of guided social rides in and around downtown. We had Dutch bikes available for rental during the rides and had other commuter/transportation accessories available as well. The series ended in April and now we have the rental bikes on sale for 40% or more off. We also have brand new, never opened or used pannier bags, locks, child seats and front baskets on sale for 50% off.
More on what's for sale here: http://livingontwowheels.org/bikesale.html
I'm offering free home delivery on the bikes to homes in the City of Austin and also have shipping available if you know someone outside of Austin that is interested in picking up a Dutch bike.
Augenwinkel,
The Master Bicycle Plan has the force of an ordinance. It's not just general policy guidelines. This issue came up with the Nueces Bicycle Boulevard which is specifically mentioned in the Plan. I'm not sure what legal tap dancing the staff came up with to abandon Nueces, but anytime something is mentioned in the Plan, it is meant to equivalent to an ordinance.
Michael,
The Council meeting in question was the one where they passed the Master Bike Plan, June 11, 2009.
I'm leaning towards voting for Tovo in Place 3, but I just saw her TV commercial where she attacks the City Council for raising parking fees downtown. I'm sorry, but I don't want another politician defending the ridiculous subsidies we give car drivers. (Plus she complains about water fees going up while being an opponent of WTP 4. You are either for putting real market costs on water to drive conservation or for building more capacity. Being against both isdisingenuous.)
Elliott McFadden
His name was Andrew Runciman and was only 24. Was a hit and run: "A preliminary investigation shows that the victim was riding his bicycle southbound on S. Lamar Blvd when a dark colored SUV, also traveling southbound, struck his bicycle and then left the scene. The victim is reported to have been traveling in the far right lane of S. Lamar Blvd."
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call APD Vehicular Homicide Unit Detectives at (512) 974-8164.
Michael,
I was at that meeting you are talking about it. It was really strange. The rest of the Council was being so positive, and she did this finger wagging that seemed like political posturing to me. There was no other good reason for it at the time.
Regarding the parking in bike lanes, I could be remembering this wrong, but I think the Master Bike Plan calls for parking bans in all bike lanes by 2020. Bike/Ped have been implementing this neighborhood by neighborhood with improvements (my neighborhood got the Exposition Road treatment this winter -- now there is no parking in any bike lanes.)

Whoa, Stu, I'm not seeing hostility in this thread, just a disagreement on your suggested course of action. Forums like this should be a dialogue, and if you throw something controversial out there, you should expect a spirited debate.
I can honestly say this is the lamest idea I've ever heard. Imagine the NAACP, "We don't like how politicians are ignoring us on segregation. We'll show them by not doing anything about it." I've been pretty disappointed with the cycling community's ability to take this on and think more than 1 step ahead, but doing nothing gets you absolutely nothing.
Just a quick reminder that our second social ride, the Eastside Home Tour (http://livingontwowheels.org/eastsidehometour.html) is this Sunday morning.

If you want your frame repaired, DO NOT have your friend do it unless he/she is a frame builder. Not only does the person repairing the bike need experience in understanding the loads on the frame and if the repair can make it safe to ride, a frame builder will also make sure the frame is back in proper alignment. Someone who is a welder will probably not know how to do that and you could get left with a frame that pulls to a direction or gives you the death shimmy at high speeds.
The Surly Cross Check is a steel frame so it is possible that it is repairable (for the curious reading this, in general aluminum and carbon frames are not repairable after crashes and should be replaced.) I am a frame builder, but I don't really do repairs. I'd recommend Jame Flatman at Alchemy Bicycles: http://alchemybicycles.com/contact. He's an excellent frame builder, and the person I refer repair inquiries to. Take your frame to him, and he'll tell you if it's repairable and how much it will cost. Then you can determine if you want to repair or replace.
This Saturday is Austin on Two Wheel's Boggy Creek Farm Picnic Tour, the second (formerly third until we rescheduled the Pampered Pedal, http://livingontwowheels.org/pamperpedal.html, to May 1) in our three part social ride series Discover the City on Two Wheels, and we hope you will join us. (The ride is limited to 48 people, and we currently have only 15 spots left. Please register today to secure your spot: http://livingontwowheels.org/boggycreek.html)
This tour will give you an opportunity to explore one of Austin's best organic urban farms followed by a picnic lunch at the farm prepared by local chef Chris Howard.
We'll start at our ride host BoConcept at 430 W 2nd St in the 2nd Street District and take a leisurely ride a few miles to the east to Boggy Creek Farm. You will have a chance to purchase locally grown produce fresh from the field and will be guided on a personal tour of the farm. After the tour, we'll have a meal cooked with ingredients from Boggy Creek Farmand a brief Q&A with the chef on how you can prepare this meal yourself. After lunch, we'll ride back together to BoConcept where we'll have a drawing for gift certificates from Bicycle Sport Shop and BoConcept. Total ride distance approximately 8 miles round trip.
Farm tour, bike valet, ride guides, and your choice of a turkey or vegetarian lunch are included in the ride registration. BYOB.
