Cycling Space City- discovering Houston's bicycle culture!
When we moved to Houston we had no idea it would be a decent bicycling town. The mixed use paths along the bayous, bike lanes from the Heights into Downtown, largest MS 150 bike ride in country, critical mass, yep not bad. Join us as we discover Space City's bicycle culture with candid bike shop reviews, discussions of bike routes, and issues effecting Houston's bike community.
The other day I passed a group of cyclists who were stopped at the end of George Bush Park and I heard one of them say, "I've heard that from the last 4 mayors". I'm sure they were talking about the newly released draft of the Houston Bike Planand the new mayor stating he wanted to make Houston a more bike friendly city. The release of the plan has generated a good amount of publicity. Bike Houston had their annual meeting last night and the release of the draft was a major part of the agenda. You can read more at the following links:
Bike Houston has short video "Why I Bike Houston" where people discuss why they ride. They are encouraging everyone to add a video or photo of why they ride to their social media accounts. I'm gonna have to think on what I post...check it out.
