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.

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.

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.

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.
