Friday Reading: Links You May Have Missed (Sept 5)

In case you missed it: Here are some links we thought were worth sharing this week. Happy reading!

From BikeTexas:

The first KidsKup of the fall was spectacular 

One of our staff ordered some music off Amazon earlier this week (via Amazon Smile supporting BikeTexas, of course), then tweeted about it, and the artist tweeted back. She hasn’t stopped smiling since, but we’re giving him a mention because not only does he like bikes, but this song is perfect for the first weekend in September.

From around Texas:

The Woodlands is considering a master bike & pedestrian plan 

And Amarillo Traffic Commission is discussing widening shared roads to benefit people who ride bikes 

Good news, this time from Dallas: Buffered Bike Lanes Coming to Sylvan/Tyler-Polk

From elsewhere:

On showing patience with new, inexperienced people on bikes

Read while Dad rides

The University of Kentucky has a free bike program for students

Trading some driving trips for walking trips is kind of tough in many parts of the country

One very sweet story about an 8-year-old triathlete who loves his brother

Add bike lanes, subtract delays

Finally, another one for the “nice to have confirmation” file: People are healthier in states where more people bike & walk to work

Happy reading & have a great weekend!
