Another roadblock for bike-sharing at Fair Park after Landmark Commission denies Parry Avenue station

By Robert Wilonsky        cityhallblog.dallasnews.com

That Fair Park bike-share just hit another speed bump: At its meeting this afternoon the Landmark Commission voted against the proposed Parry Avenue station outside the former Women’s Museum. The vote to deny, without prejudice, took most folks by surprise — even the city’s historic preservation staff.
“I certainly thought it was going to pass,” says Craig Holcomb, the longtime executive director of the Friends of Fair Park, which was given a $125,000 grant from the city earlier this year to kick-start bike-sharing at the park. After several delays, Holcomb says, he’s getting a little “frustrated.” After all, the program was due to…

15 Mountain Bikers Went

Based on the theory that women learn new skills differently from men, these rides are designated as “for women only”.The concept is simple:  the “girls” meet at local bike trails for group rides and mountain biking skills instruction.  Riders break into small groups based on ability and then hit the trail.  After the ride, the ladies regroup for a…

Neighborhood Trails

Bike Noob

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs in the 1950s (Yes, I’m old). Back then, streets were laid out in a grid pattern, and blocks of houses went on and on. Of course, streets were for cars to get to and from the houses. Bikes were what kids rode to each other’s house, and to the baseball diamond, but rarely more than a couple of miles at a time.
