From around Texas:

Abilene’s PD got a donation toward their growing bicycle division.

Even more good news from Abilene: the city is looking into growing the bicycle network, especially so more kids can walk or bike to school.

People who ride bikes in Wichita Falls support safe passing legislation.

BikeHouston boils down the Houston Bike Plan.

Books + bikes– a match made in paradise! And also at Macon Elementary in Dallas.

Volunteers in San Angelo will clean up the Red Arroyo trail tomorrow. Can you help?

Check out Brownsville’s video ahead of the League’s Stephen Clark’s visit to the city this past week.

The City of Tyler is seeking grants to expand their bicycle network.

From elsewhere:

DC is making it easier for businesses to install parklets in parking spaces.

The bike helmet law that was before the California legislature has been softened in the face of massive opposition.

California is also making progress with protected bike lanes.

Have a great weekend!
