Beyond Bike Lanes meeting scheduled
Like the idea of cycling but worried about putting foot to pedal?
I love the sound of the Austin Cycling Association’s Beyond Bike Lanes program.
The series of neighborhood gatherings is designed to spur discussion about personal barriers to cycling and intimidation factors, and provide practical advice on everything from route planning to basic safety practices. (Light up! Ride in a predictable way! Obey traffic laws!)
Hopefully, the meetings will ease the worries of new or potential cyclists, and encourage some to make biking a part of their daily life. (I love riding my bike to work most days.)
The next meeting is scheduled for 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15 at The Peddler Bike Shop, 5015 Duval Street.
City of Austin Bicycle Maps, educational information, refreshments and free rides on a Fat cruiser will be provided.

Bob, I’m assuming you are talking about cars.

Rule 3. If it isn’t safe to share the lane, don’t share it. Rule 4. Support the League of Bicycling Voters, Austin’s voice for cyclists.

Rule #0: Obey the laws of physics to avoid injury.
All other rules, regulations and expectations are secondary. Use your brain and don’t expect other’s actions and motivations to be in your best interest, as they are likely not.
