For Throwback Thursday this week, a peek back at Novembers past at BikeTexas. Post title is from the Clyde Watson poem.
BikeTexas and TxDOT worked together to fight off a bike ban in 2005.
Take a look at some bond elections that benefitted bicycle infrastructure in Texas, also from 2005.
Burkburnett ISD joined the Safe Routes to School program in 2006 with their first teacher training.
The proposed Old Texas 20 bicycle route took some strides forward in November of 2006.
Brownsville held their first CycloBia in November 2012. In the two years since then, the program has grown to a four-times-a-year event, with some of them held at night. Brownsville hopes to soon become the U.S. city that’s hosted the most Open Streets events.
Here’s to many more great Novembers for people who ride bikes in Texas!
