I do my best on the Tulsa side of things and will continue to do so. If you haven’t already found it, you should check out Bike Walk Tulsa (http://bikewalktulsa.org). Of course, I think the more active transportation blogs the better so start one up! I’d love to read it.

Hopefully also covering some Tulsa stuff, too; been thinking about starting a companion to this and Bike Portland, but haven’t really thought of a good name or got it off the ground at all.

Comment on Who’s Bike Commuting and Where by Kim Waggoner

I’ve commuted to work via bicycle on and off since 1974, then non-stop since & year round since Nov 2007. The distance was 12 miles each way in SLC back in the early 80′s and 8 miles each way later. I’ve lived in Here Edmond, OK, since 1996. My commute here is just five miles each way. An east-west commute so prevailing winds aren’t much of an issue. Spring to fall when daylight is longer, I often take in a longer ride, 20-35 miles going home, joining a group ride along the way when possible.

I don’t have to work on the 4th, so I may try to attend both days. I don’t see myself as a powerful cycling advocate, but I am very interested in seeing the cycling climate improve in Oklahoma City and in the state. Perhaps more can be done beyond placing “Share the Road” signs on bike routes.

Comment on Car Free OKC: Rain? Don’t Sweat It! by Tim

Since I’ve only been commuting seriously for a few months now, and before it was only fair weather commuting, I got to experience my first rainy commute a couple of weeks ago. My bike already has fenders so the only preparation needed was packing everything in my panniers inside trash bags, and buying a $2 rain poncho. The rain was semi-heavy, so I wasn’t expecting to see anyone else out on a bike, but halfway through my ride I saw the unmistakable flash of a blinking rear LED ahead and later caught up to a fellow commuter. The poncho kept everything surprisingly dry with the exception being my feet. Not only was the ride not as bad as I was expecting, it was actually fun! And I like to imagine what people think when they drive past.
