Governor Perry VETOES Safe Passing Bill
A message from BikeTexas:
Dear fellow Texas cyclists,
We are stunned. After passing SB 488 through both houses of the legislature with overwhelming bipartisan margins and responding to every legislator's concern with information or compromise, Governor Perry killed the bill today.
In spite of the huge number of phone calls in the span of two very intense hours, Governor Perry vetoed the Safe Passing bill, SB 488.

Cycling the Kentucky Bluegrass
The Bluegrass Region…The Heart of Kentucky.
If you are looking for a beautiful place with great country roads and low traffic to cycle, take a trip to the Kentucky Bluegrass Region. You can ride short or long distances, rolling terrain to challenging hills, horse farms or open farmland. It’s all beautiful and just waiting for you to enjoy it. Be sure to check out a few of our pictures in the Image Gallery.

Cyclists in Suits Day at the State Capital in Austin - 2009
It’s that time again. The legislature is in session and we are headed to Austin to lobby our Representatives and Senators to pass the Safe Passing Bill. Basically, the Safe Passing Bill would require motorists to allow at least 3-feet of distance before overtaking and passing a cyclist as well as all types of vulnerable road users; i.e. pedestrian, wheelchair, tractor, etc. Thirty-one of us boarded the BikeDFW bus very early Monday morning, April 20th, 2009, for the trip to the capital. We arrived in Austin about 8:00am and met with a delegation from BikeTEXAS (formerly Texas Bicycle Coalition). Also meeting with us were cyclists from Austin, BikeHouston, LMRA Bicycle Club, San Antonio Wheelmen, and other clubs and businesses.
Spring Family Ride & Gathering - April 26th
We thought we were going to cancel the ride but the rain left just as quick as it came. Paul, Doug, and Brian left the house about 2:30pm for a casual 20-mile ride. Temp was great but there was still a little wind. The rest of us gathered about 4:30 and dinner was served about 5:15pm. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to the ride and get-together.
We'll have a family club ride Sunday afternoon at 2:00pm from Paul and Lynne Harris'. The ride will be about 20 miles and take in some of the hike and bike trails through the mid-cities and Grapevine and back on some back neighborhood roads. After the ride, the club will be serving a lasagna dinner.
