New to bicycleaustin forums here, but I got a link to this specific forum sent to me a couple of weeks back by a co-worker. So, a group of friends and I also joined up on the 20th. Good times! Thanks for the post owlman. Made me a believer in these forums. So, I signed up. Good thing the weather was much warmer last week...right?

This is my point. On Westbank, 360. Nobody has to go around them...plenty of room for both. Throwing them over the guard rail? Anyway, I'm new to these forums and just wanted to share my thoughts on this one. Got a link sent to me a couple of weeks back from a friend with info about the trail of lights ride back on the 20th. Thought I'd join the forum to peruse more stuff going on here in Austin. Stumbled upon this message board and figured I'd comment...since your actions seemed a bit over the top to me is all. I still say, "just ride your bike."

The legal jargon on this forum caught my interest. However, after reading through this forum, I'm a bit annoyed. A church's temporary signage, really? This has got you all bent out of shape? You should relax man. No matter your religious beliefs, there are way more important things to worry about in this world. Just ride your bike.

I don't live in Westlake Hills, but I have ridden the bike lanes over there for many years. You and I both know that there is more than enough room for some temporary folding signs (no matter what may be on them) and for me to enjoy my ride at the same time. I see that your first post back in July gained no response. Wonder why? Nobody cares about signage being on the road unless it's causing danger to those trying to ride around them. This is obviously not the case here. Then, I see this new post a few days back, and the only response has been a cut and paste from the Texas State Transportation Code. Again, nobody really cares about this, except you. Just ride your bike.
