Sylvan Avenue Bike Lanes proposed
Bike Friendly Oak Cliff

On December 10th at 6PM, the City of Dallas will hold a public meeting to review plans for converting the six lane Sylvan Road to four lane, with bike lanes and sidewalks. Currently, the street has no sidewalks, and a blind curve near Colorado that increases accident potential on the roadway. Be sure to head out to show your support for the proposed alignment. The larger the turnout, the better chance…

Our Saturday Morning Rides: 25 years and still going strong!
North West Cycling Club
No other city in the nation can boast a cycling club like NWCC. And no other city has anything approaching NWCC’s famous “Saturday Morning Rides”.

For over 25 years, 52 Saturdays a year, rain or shine, cyclists numbering from 75 to well over 200 converge on the parking lot at Zube Park in far northwest Harris County. Many are club members; and many are non-club members who are always welcomed guests.

Club members volunteer to be the Saturday “Ride Starter”. By megaphone the Ride Starter welcomes everyone, gives a few Club announcements, then calls out the pace groups. Pace groups include “New Riders”, 14-16 mph, 16-18 mph, 18-20 mph, and 20+ mph.

Pace groups will cover distances from 20 to over 80 miles, riding on well-paved, quiet country roads in Harris and Waller Counties. Hours later, as the riders return, the Ride Starter sets out coolers of Gatorade and.

Of course, if you have a smart phone that requires a password in order to access anything on your phone, you’ll have to become a little creative.  Why?  Because…
