Bike to Bastille On Bishop
We’ll be hosting the bike parking corral again this year with Bike DFW – right at Bishop & 7th near Bishop Street Market, from 5pm to 11pm. If you live in North Oak Cliff, you have the distinct privilege of being able to bike to Bishop Arts and not have to fight for parking! It’s […]
Sharing the City with Bike Share
It’s incredible how many bikes appeared so suddenly. And then came the users: experts to novices, biking EVERYWHERE. It’s a shame to see people defacing property the way we’ve seen people destroy some of these bikes. Thrown in the Trinity and into White Rock Lake? Rows of bikes driven over?! Seriously? There may be too […]
Protected Bike Lanes on Sylvan!
another connection across the river now has bicycle facilities. The newly re-built Sylvan Ave bridge now has a protected bicycle lane running in both directions for cyclists to cross the river and access the Trinity Skyline Trail (access soon to open). To get here from Oak Cliff, head north on Beckley or Sylvan Ave. The […]

Jefferson Cycle Track: Traffic Control (while we wait for the streetcar)
We know how difficult it’s been to deal with the street car construction as bicyclists and drivers (yes, we drive cars too, and pay to build road!) The city has been very accommodating when we’ve been frustrated at accessing the Jefferson St cycle track during so much change. However, see this post on BikeableDallas.com about […]

Dallas, You Just Lost Some Cool Points
We can all agree on the “Best State in the Union,” however most Texans disagree on city superiority. I imagine the argument has raged since William Barret Travis first drew a line in the sand. We may always disagree on the best city in Texas, but we can agree on what makes one city “cooler,” […]
Edgefield Ave: Oak Cliff’s North-South Cycling Route
Yesterday I discovered my new favorite bicycle route! As a cyclist, I often struggle to find a safe, north and south bike route that allows access to all areas of Oak Cliff. Most of the north-south through-ways in Oak Cliff are very hilly, have high speed traffic and are not exactly what I would call […]
