This is awesome! Tennessee is one of twenty states (well…nineteen states and the District of Columbia) who will participate in the Safe Routes to School project. The project aims to encourage physical activities for kids, primarily lower income students. One way of doing this is to create easier ways to walk and bike to schools.

One thing that we have learned from the Workshop is that many students simply can’t bike to school because there are too many busy roads and intersections for them to cross. They want to use their newly tuned bikes, but it just isn’t safe for them to bike to school. An initiative like this could change Nashville’s future. If kids can start walking and biking to school, they will understand the ease and enjoyment of commuting without a car. Organizations are encouraged to join the project, contact Drew Jacobs at tenessee@saferoutespartnership.org for more information. Spread the news!

Good news, Murfreesboro. The county commissioner of Rutherford County has announced the creation of a bicycle committee, who will advise on plans for new bike lanes, “Share the Road” signage, bike parking, and ways to encourage healthy relationships between cyclists and drivers.

Murfreesboro has had an active cycling community for years, ranging from mountain and road riders to commuters and fixed. Considering the number of students, the relatively flat terrain, and small size of the town, it is truly a great place to ride. Hopefully bike lanes and paths will encourage growth in this already growing scene. Right oooonnnnnn.

I encourage anyone who has a passion for bicycles to check out the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. A three day convention for cyclists, builders, and companies, you could say it is the independent’s Interbike (which, if you are unfamiliar with, is the largest bicycle merchant convention held annually). We attended last year’s Handmade show in Indianapolis, and are getting super excited for this year’s show, which is in Richmond, VA (a sister city to Halcyon…check out our friends Books on Wheels, who we will definitely be kicking it with while in RVA this year).

If you plan on attending, let us know! Last year, we had a great Nashville representation and met other cyclists from all over the world.
