Responsible bicyclists
Regarding “Editorial: Harris County is right to use toll road money for trails that link communities,” (May 18): I agree with your editorial on tolls for trails, but I have an easier solution: just require bicycle licenses for use in all areas. The city had a similar requirement — to register bikes with the city — on the books until 2008 when it was repealed. If we are going to invest $53 million in hike and bike trails, it makes sense for some of the funding to come from the community that will benefit.

‘I want to see it stay after I go’: At 85, longtime Houston shop owner seeks home for cycling museum
Jay R. Jordan | www.chron.com
Joy Boone is looking for help rejuvenating the Houston Bicycle Museum after it has spent three years dormant.
Longtime Houston bicycle shop owner and two-wheeled curator Joy Boone is now setting her sights on an ambitious goal of finding a permanent home for her short-lived Houston Bicycle Museum three years after it closed.
Boone, 85, owned and operated Houston’s oldest bike shop for more than 50 years up until she closed the doors in 2019, the same year the bicycle museum she worked tirelessly to found also closed.
She opened the Houston Bicycle Museum in 2014 at 1313 Binz Street, a space leased by the Houston Holocaust Museum. At the time, renting was supposed to be a temporary measure. She set out to raise at least $1.5 million to start building a brand-new three-story building to house the …
