Fort Worth TX Mayor Moncreif speech excerpts; Commuter Rail, street cars, and other alternative modes of transportation also remain a priority for me and this City Council. Unfortunately, Fort Worth and other major metropolitan areas are finding out the hard way what a mistake it was to design and build cities around automobiles years ago. Friends, we cannot continue to focus solely on building more roads for more vehicles. That’s counter productive at best. Business as usual is dead! North Texas requires a transportation overhaul. No more band-aides, no more patches—a complete overhaul! Regrettably, it’s becoming more and more obvious that we cannot depend on the state or federal government to help us in the near term. In fact, there is no guarantee of any new money to build any new roads in Texas after 2012. Frankly, I’m tired of talking about this. This afternoon, workers at BNSF…employees at Lockheed Martin or Bell Textron…even many of you in this room will leave work and then s...

While we believe our BikeRegistry Decal Kits are THE key component of any proactive bike protection strategy, we also advocate using a high quality security chain ( versus U Lock or Cabl e) for long-term parking of your bike in high-risk environments. CHAIN - This 3/8” trapezoidal (4 sided) link chain, manufactured in Austria by  PEWAG, GmbH  is “case-hardened” to resist cutting by 3-foot long bolt cutters, hack saws, reciprocating saws and/or electric grinders. In  tests  we have found PEWAG's trapezoidal cross section much more difficult to shear cut than our asian competitors lower quality, cheaper-to-manufacture hexagonal (6 sided) design. We use an oxy-acetylene torch to cut bulk material into one (1) meter lengths (39").  YouTube . You will not find anything like this at your local  big orange box  hardware store. PEWAG has produced the finest quality chains since 1730 (that’s 279 years of experience dealing with the bad guys). Chain is sheathe...

I didn't know if it would be work riding so I didn't formally schedule a TNR. I called Brett and asked him if he was interested in getting out for a ride. We headed out from Hudson up north through the neighborhoods past Morse to 161. We stopped at Taco Nazo for a taco and then headed north to Schrock. Took Schrock all the way across to High St. Down to 161 and then down the hill to the trail. The trail was clear all the way down to the Park of Roses where it became a mess. We walked over to a road that connected up with High Street. Down High Street to Duncan and back over to Hudson. 22.5 miles total. Temps in the low 30's.

By Kirsten Robbins Group rides over 50 now require a permit in NYC. (Time's Up!) A federal judge has ruled that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) can now require bike groups, such as Critical Mass, to apply for a parade permit before taking to the city’s streets. The ruling by Judge Lewis A Kaplan has caused upset among cycling advocates like Time's Up!, who believe it is another case of NYPD harassment against cycling groups – as famously caught on video during a  Critical Mass ride in 2008 . more...

Leave it to a bunch of engineering students at Yale to design a crazy  spokeless bike . It's not the first spokeless bike we've seen, but it looks a lot more like a real bike than  past models . Only the back wheel is spokeless, but that's just because they only had a limited amount of time and money to build this. It would be pretty simple to do what they did to the back wheel to the front wheel. As for how it works: more...
