A group promoting crosstown bikeways in San Francisco (see video at left) and a community bicycle center in Portland are among seven recipients of Bikes Belong grants this fall.
Other urban bicycle projects on the grant list include the linking of two bike lanes in Atlanta, and bikeway extensions in Memphis and Grand Rapids. Grants also are going to research studies on the economic impact of bike use in Minneapolis and Greenville, South Carolina.
In all, the bike industry association issued $62,500 to the projects. Together they show the broad scope of bicycle programs that are active in the nation's urban areas ….

A week-long bicycle tour that celebrates the common tree and raises money for tree research is rolling into Oregon next year.
It marks only the fourth time that the Tour des Trees bicycle tour has visited the Pacific Northwest. The inaugural ride rolled from Seattle to Oakland in 1992, then started in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in 1997 and Seattle again in 2002.
Next year's Stihl Tour des Trees (Aug. 5-11, 2012) encompasses a 585-mile loop that includes Pacific Coast rain forests and the central high deserts. When they aren't bicycling, tree lovers will be planting trees or offering tree-education programs to kids.
While the warning “On your left!” is a common refrain ….

The fact that Dejan Zafirov lost one leg and injured the other in a work accident hasn't stopped him from his goal of bicycling around the world.
The Macedonian cyclist rolled into San Francisco on Friday after completing a two-month cross-country ride on his fully loaded bicycle.
He already has toured on his bicycle in South America, Europe, and Asia. His tour across the US was launched to inspire his fellow countrymen and raise money for adaptive sports equipment at home through his Citizens Association Gaia.
Dejan rides his bicycle with a prosthetic right leg to compensate …

The Google Street View trike has been hitting the bicycle trails in Seattle and King County over the past summer and now those trail views are available on Google Maps.
I mashed a couple of trails with the TripGeo.com application to animate the bike path views on the Burke-Gilman Trail between Gas Works and Log Boom parks, left, and the Cedar River Trail from Renton to Landsburg, below.
It's fun to see the locales of our off-road rides preserved on the Internet. Seattle Bike Blog located trail views outside the Seattle Google headquarters in Ballard and the Seattle end of the I-90 bike trail….

Here we are in the second decade of the 21st century, and bicyclists are forced to petition their Senators to retain their legal rights to the road.
The draft Senate transportation authorization bill, perhaps misnamed “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act,” includes a provision that bans bicycle riders from park roads if there is a trail nearby.
What is it with the US Senate and bicycles?
Earlier this fall, two Senators on separate occasions offered amendments that would have removed federal funds for bicycle and pedestrian projects. Those measures …
