by Kali Bramble | www.austinmonitor.com
As retailers brace for the holiday shopping season, 2023 is shaping up to be a good year for e-bikes in Austin.
Austin Energy stopped by City Council’s Mobility Committee meeting last week for an update on its e-bike rebate program, which kicked into high gear this past January with a resolution doubling rebate values. Preliminary data shows a spike from 2,606 to 3,464 participants since the increase, though staff say the final figure will likely be much higher.
“We typically run on a 60- to 90-day lag in application processing, just because of volume and a small operations staff,” said electric vehicles and emerging technologies manager Cameron Freberg. “We expect to more than double our participation since last year, just from that increase in incentive and the amount of new vehicles available in the market.”

TxDOT Wants Your Input About Loop 286
easttexasradio.com
PARIS – The Texas Department of Transportation today reminded Texans that the public comment period for two proposed improvement projects on State Loop 286 in Lamar County remains open through December 15.
The agency began studying long-term improvements to this roadway in 2018 and has shared both proposed projects with the public at open-house public meetings.
The Northeast Loop project would begin at Stillhouse Road and extend to Pine Mill Road. It would expand the roadway from two lanes to two high-speed, non-stop lanes and two low-speed, controlled access frontage roads in either direction. It would also add an overpass at North Collegiate Drive and improve safety by adding lighting, better drainage, and paths for bicycles and pedestrians.
This project would require additional right-of-way and, subject to …

Before the ride started the A and B guys got together and made a pact to ride together. Beads were exchanged and the peace pipe was smoked. But we know how this story goes. LOL. Actually it was only a few guys that rode off the front. The rest of us stayed together on the A route. Nice and chilly. Paceline on Murphy. Credit to Rudy for keeping things together.
I looked down at one point and my computer had stopped recording, not sure why. So I’m missing a couple of miles.
