PeopleForBikes’ Final Mile Is a Playbook for Accelerating U.S. Bike Networks
www.bicycleretailer.com
BOULDER, COLO. — Can U.S. cities move faster, more efficiently and more equitably to build better mobility networks for residents nationwide?

In 2018, PeopleForBikes set out to create a model for U.S. cities to systematically increase bicycle mobility. The Final Mile, a collaboration between Wend Collective and PeopleForBikes, was successful in achieving that goal. The strategy includes tapping into existing community support for biking, amplifying that support with paid communications and thoughtful neighborhood-based engagement and empowering elected leaders with the political will to accelerate the construction of local bike networks.
Five cities — Austin, TX; Denver, CO; New Orleans, LA; Providence, RI; and Pittsburgh, PA —took part in the Final Mile, which provided cities with the necessary financial resources and expertise to execute broad marketing campaigns, create diverse coalitions of community partners and …

Hundreds gather in East Austin for annual Black History Bike Ride
By Amanda Ruiz | www.fox7austin.com
AUSTIN, Texas – One week before Juneteenth, hundreds of people on their bikes gathered in East Austin on Sunday morning to celebrate the federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans a little early.
"In my opinion, why not celebrate Juneteenth the weekend before?," said Talib Abdullahi, founder of the Black History Bike Ride.
This was the third annual Black History Bike Ride, an 8.46 historical bike tour of Black Central East Austin.
"We’re going to basically focus on doing a deep dive and understanding some different historical facts relating to black history," said Abdullahi.
The idea for this bike ride came to fruition two years ago by Abdullahi after …
