This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

Despite the irresponsible driving of Gabrielle Nestande, Courtney Griffin would probably still be alive and well if there had been sidewalk on the side of the street where she was walking.  In this and in many of last year's 28 pedestrian deaths, the city is partly to blame for not providing sidewalk on both sides of every street. This is criminal negligence.
