News By Bike: Links for You to Read (Dec 18)

Looking for some weekend reading? Look no further than these links we thought were worth sharing this week: 

 

From BikeTexas:

Forgot to order from our gift guide? The post office deadline for regular shipping is upon us, but give us a call or send us an email when you place your order and we can adjust the shipping prices for pre-Christmas delivery. No rush? No worries– we’ll still send your order even if it won’t arrive before December 25.

It’s #FundraisingFriday— donate or join today and we’ll send you a bonus free gift!

Our communications/office manager is slightly obsessed with tying bicycles and musicals together as often as possible.

 

From around Texas:

CycloBia Brownsville is tonight– don’t miss out!

Work is still progressing, albeit with delays, on a rail-trail in Tyler.

 

From elsewhere:

A look at the science behind traffic engineering–and how that science points to roads built for people.

US DOT & Vulcan announced a reward for the Smart City Challenge winner. Our office nerds were a bit too excited about this news for a few minutes.

Is better data one of the keys to safer streets?

Check out this cool wayfinding project in the “other” Arlington.

Found a brilliant way to share safety messages, Iowa DOT has.

Check out this fun and crafty idea for old bike tires! (Maybe a winter break project for your kids?)

“’Until the idea of a cyclist as the sports person or as a poor man is removed from the equation, very few authorities are going to support cycle-oriented development,’ Palmer says.”

 

This is your last brand-new weekend reading of 2015–look for a roundup of our favorite stories of the year next Thursday (since we’ll be doing something else on Friday). Happy holidays, and as always, have a great weekend!
