05 Nov ThinkBike Recap

First, thank you to all of you who participated or attended the ThinkBike events last Thursday and Friday.  ThinkBike was an opportunity for designers, engineers, architects, planners, and the local cycling community to work with Dutch engineers from the Dutch Cycling Embassy on improving specific cycling challenges here in Austin.

For those of you who weren’t able to make it, check out the presentations on-line to see the innovative designs, plans, and policies created with the help of world renown cycling design team.  The Bicycle Program looks forward to incorporating many of the short and long-term improvements.
