The Travelling Man in Deep Ellum
Grabbed this shot while riding around Deep Ellum this afternoon. Awesome day out, and DART was testing the much anticipated green line just behind us. Our friend, Brandon Oldenburg, was one of the artists who created this piece and happens to be an awesome creative head over at ReelFX. I don’t want to jump to […]
Want To Go Car Free? Let’s Do The Numbers
My wife just got a job at SMU, and was able to nab a coveted (by me) DART pass for a discounted rate. With that in mind, we’ve had several friends who I envy that have officially gone car free, and wanted to do the breakdown to see how much we’d save by also making […]
Picture of the week
(from the nowtopian) A new bikelane and plaza on Broadway in New York. 6 months ago, these were car lanes.
Bike vs. Bus Study in Cartoon Format
Ran across this on Copenhagenize.com: This person in Brisbane charted out the time/costs/etc. for traveling to work via bus, and via bicycle for one week respectively. Would love to see a similar chart by people in Dallas, including traveling by car. For me personally, I know the cost in gas+parking downtown+amortized monthly car payment is […]

Marie’s Bike
If you’ve ever strolled through the Bishop Arts District and in front of Zola’s Everyday Vintage shop, you’ve undoubtedly seen this classic 3-speed chained to the tree out front. We always wondered about it, and recently went in to ask the store’s owner, Annette, its history. She told us some details about a girl who […]
Stop in the Name of Shop
Repost from Copenhagencyclechic.com: Ah, the freedom of the bicycle. Riding along the safe, separated bike lanes in the rain she spotted something in a shop window that tickled her fancy. Hand up, coaster brake gently to a stop and in under 20 seconds she was inside the shop. It’s no secret that bicycle lanes are […]
