Free Lessons!
Caitlin at the Coop will be giving free basic bike maintenance and commuting lessons Thursday September 9th, 2010 at 6pm at Mountain View Market.
Cyclist vs. Pedestrian
They say two wrongs don’t make a right, this time it certainly made for laughs. It’s awesome how amicable the confrontation was. They both pointed out each others faults, accepted their own, and went their separate ways. If your on a bike ride with traffic. If your a pedestrian use a crosswalk.
Public Transit ridership down
As the city of Las Cruces grows, bus ridership has declined. I suspect the reduction of the budget and the general attitude towards public transportion. It’s similar to the citys approach to bicycle facilities… the low numbers from studies are given as reasons why progressive urban ideas are not implemented…

Save the Bike Lanes!
A very small minority of our City of LC Council persons (Councilor Dolores Connor) have objections to the planned (planned, reviewed, accepted) restriping for Solano from Missourri to University Ave when they refinish that section. The MPO and City came by the money partially because of their TIP proposal which called for a road diet the same as the striping on Solano from Lohman to Missourri. The continuation of the road diet and bike lanes from Missourri to University Ave will make the section of road diet from Lohman to Missourri less isolated and more useful. Many of us were amazed at the attmept of the Solano Road diet because it seemed unplanned and seemed to be an island of bike lanes.
From a local commenter to the City Council (local cyclist advocate-well keep anonymous):
