I found this interesting article on The Atlantic about the areas of growth in bicycle commuting. While we’ve all seen the large number of articles regarding the growth of cycling commuting, it is interesting to see the geographic concentrations of this growth. Unfortunately, Oklahoma City shows no growth (we sit at a 0.1%...

Car Free OKC: Recap
So today was my first day back to driving. I drove primarily just for the contrast and to mark and end to the experiment. Boy, was the irony suddenly laid on thick. I climbed in my car, turned the key and nothing happened, just a clicking noise as the starter motor tried to turn...

Car Free OKC: On Feeling Vulnerable
So I started the day furious and frustrated. The car free experiment for this month fell apart today and it fell apart for completely unnecessary reasons.

Car Free in OKC
For the past year, I have participated in a few 30 Days of Biking events. I truly love participating in these events and it reminds me of how much I love cycling. Lately, I have thought about my days in Chicago. My bicycle was my only means of transportation and it was incredibly liberating....

Norman Updates Bicycle Routes
Norman is improving and expanding the bicycle routes throughout the city. Hopefully Oklahoma City will start improving the street routes as well. I’d love to see a route going down to Norman and out to Lake Thunderbird for a great camping weekend. Yellow “Share the Road” signs to urge motorists and bicyclists to coexist...
