Advocating for bicycling and bicyclists in North Texas

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

The best bike plan starts with a better car plan.

Dutch cities don’t just graft bike lanes onto busy streets. They practice “ontvlechten”; structurally untangling cycling and driving by limiting car speed and access.

Fewer conflicts. Calmer streets. Networks that actually work.

Tonight we launched Ride Kind North Texas — a regional commitment to empathy and shared responsibility on our streets and trails.

We’re thrilled to announce Mike Keel as the 2024 UPSHIFT Lifetime Achievement Award recipient! 🙌💙

Mike has spent decades mentoring riders, building community, shaping trails, and lifting cycling across North Texas. His impact is everywhere — and this honor is long overdue.

For taxpayers, bike infrastructure is a gift that keeps on giving. An asset that returns annual savings in congestion, maintenance, safety, pollution and healthcare over its lifetime. Stop asking whether your city can afford to invest in cycling. Ask whether it can afford not to.

Nice! It's a reminder that e-scooter riders help beef up the argument for building more protected lanes.

Irving voted to take DART to the ballot—but the message in the room was clear:

Don’t walk away. Work together. Choose connection.

Tonight, our community packed Plano City Hall to speak up for connection. Cyclists, riders, neighbors, and advocates stood together because mobility is more than infrastructure — it’s community. The vote didn’t go our way, but the message was clear:
