BikeTexas Annual Meeting: September 23

Every September, BikeTexas members come together for the Annual Membership Meeting. We hear from board members and staff about where we are and where we’d like to be in the next year. We share successes and setbacks. Most importantly, we’d like to hear from you.

We invite you to join us on Sunday, September 23, from 3:30 to 6 PM as we celebrate the work of another year together. We’ll meet from 3:30 to 4:18, with a reception to follow in the BikeTexas office. Register now to attend. The Annual Membership Meeting is open to the public.


Bicycle Advocacy Becomes Art at Northside ISD

Hayden Miranda got an assignment from his ALPHA teacher, Mrs. Rustan: interview a non-profit and then create a piece of art representing what he learned about the organization. The assignment theme? “Origins of Change.” Hayden’s non-profit choice? BikeTexas.

Hayden did his research on our website before picking up the phone and calling our office. After interviewing Lynn Haas, he got to work creating his masterpiece. Hayden’s mom Vikki says, “Hayden chose BikeTexas as his non-profit org to encourage kids to ride their bikes but follow safety rules and equipment. We had recently had a neighbor friend who crashed on his bike and knocked out teeth and had stitches.”

Once students had completed their artwork, they were ready for the big time: Northside ISD’s non-profit showcase, a gallery-style exhibit. Hayden and his classmates shared their artwork with students and adults who came to see the hard work on display.

Mrs. Ruston says, “The goal for each student was to open their minds to non-profit organizations and the importance of being the voice of change.” We’re honored that Hayden chose BikeTexas and we love the beautiful art he created!

Through the Eyes of a Hotter’N Hell Newbie

Annual Meeting, Advocacy Art, BikePedEd and More: BikeTexas Today September 2018I attended my very first Hotter’N Hell Hundred this year, representing BikeTexas. I was in good company: in addition to BikeTexas staff, we were joined by Robin and Zach, our wonderful volunteers from Cycle Clear Lake. Zach is an urban planner and Robin is a space radiologist for the Johnson Space Center.

I have passed through Wichita Falls a few times, but this was my first time to stay there. I was blown away at how great the experience was.
