    Ever since I had buttons and stickers produced, folks from all over the world have been wanting some. It didn’t start out this way, but some people have sent stuff in return for their BFR swag.

    I just picked this up from the BikeTexas site. Looks like it will be interesting information – once I get a moment to sit down and read it. From a quick flip through, looks like Dallas and Texas are included, but Richardson isn’t. As you may have guessed, it appears as if north Texas didn’t…

    A few weeks ago, I opened up the BFR Suggestion Box. This is a place where the Richardson bike community can voice their opinions and suggestions about things they would like to happen in Richardson for cycling.

    I’ve been getting quite a few good ideas on Facebook and through email (bikefriendlyrichardson at gmail dot com) about things we can do for bicycling and bicyclist in Richardson. There are also a few great links that were shared as well. It’s my goal to get some of those things posted over here to share…

    I’ll be doing a write-up about the inaugural ride later. But first, I thought I would put forth a request to the Richardson bicycling public. I have been called out by a person named pista on the DORBA bicycle blog that I am not qualified to lead this group of bicycle advocacy for non-sport cycling…
