The Delridge Greenway
Emily E Kathrein
Fri. Nov 15, 2013 1:25pm
If we are going to plan, design and build a brand new place to bike and walk in Delridge, let's make sure we get it right. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is hosting an open house in Delridge this Tuesday, Nov.19, that will give neighbors a chance to show support for the Delridge Neighborhood Greenway along 21st and 17th avenues SW between the West Seattle Bridge Trail and SW Cambridge Street.

My Electoral Cycles experience
Lisa D Roberts
Thu. Nov 14, 2013 10:05am
My work with this campaign and with the Electoral Cycles workshop is not over yet, but I found this experience to be one of the high points of my year thus far. I have found that I do have a voice and the power to push for changes that are important to me. And I am going to use that power to make my city one of the best to live in - whether you choose to walk, drive, ride transit or bike.

A Salute to Lamar Bass
Anne-Marije Rook
Tue. Nov 12, 2013 3:24pm
A member since 1988, Lamar Bass has been a fixture at Cascade Bicycle Club for many years. He has been an avid rider, a mentor, Cascade Advocacy Committee member, a ride leader, a major donor and an irreplaceable super volunteer. Anyone who has visited or called the Cascade office in the past 13 years has probably met him, as he would regularly put in 60-70-hour weeks.

“[Bike share] encourages slower, comfortable, leisurely biking. It's something I can see myself doing every day."

November marks the one-year-anniversary since Holly Houser took the helm at Puget Sound Bike Share (PSBS), the nonprofit partnership of public and private organizations working to bring bike sharing to King County. Currently on track for a spring 2014 launch, PSBS will introduce bike sharing to King County with 500 bikes at 50 bike share stations, and has a long-term goal of 2200 bikes at 220 stations throughout the region. Vancouver B.C. and Portland will launch their bike sharing programs around the same time.

A downtown network of protected bike lanes

The Seattle City Council is moving one giant step closer to making downtown streets like Second Avenue and Fourth Avenue great places to ride a bike. The City Council is currently in its final days of adopting the 2014 city budget. Mayor Mike McGinn proposed $10.5 million for bicycle infrastructure, which was less than in 2013 but much higher than previous years. It’s a long ways from where we need to go, but it’s also a good start.

Good with a wrench? Come to our maintenance party

It's that time of the year when our fleets of bikes return to Cascade after being used by students throughout the region in their P.E. classes for Basics of Bicycling. Hundreds of kids have either learned to ride a bike or have improved their bike handling skills and road safety knowledge through this program. We now need to get them in good working order for the winter and spring P.E. classes.

Get On The Bus
Kailey Duffy
Fri. Nov 8, 2013 8:02am
The leaves are falling, the air is crisp and buses of students are excitedly heading to school. While all of these things are typical of fall, what stands out is that the school buses of which I speak are not yellow, motorized or even a physical bus. There is no driver, no vinyl seats, no plumes of black smoke issuing out of the back.
