BikeDFW

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. Be one of the first 100 Founding Ride Kind North Texans. Take the pledge: bikedfw.org/ride-kind.html #RideKindNTX #NorthTexas

Every rider deserves to feel safe. This #GivingTuesday, BikeDFW is raising support for education, bike lights & safer streets across North Texas. A gift of $10 goes a long way. Give here: zeffy.com/en-US/donation…

Every rider deserves to feel safe. This #GivingTuesday, BikeDFW is asking 150 friends to give $10 for 10 miles to support education, bike lights, and advocacy across North Texas. Watch for our donation link tomorrow. 🚲💙

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.

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:
