The folks at the Bellevue transportation department are planning to release the details of the 2007 Walk & Roll Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan on Thursday.
The city is basing its recommendations partly on a survey and focus groups from earlier this year. The staff is suggesting where bicycling improvements can be made and how to get them funded.
The meeting is at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Bellevue City Hall, 450 110th Ave. N.E., Room 1E-108. If you're like me and can't make the meeting, the draft will be posted online after the meeting at the Bellevue transportation website (2007 Ped-Bike Plan.)….

This is the road and lane configuration near my house. I'm always a little puzzled about what cyclists heading uphill should do. The lane is narrow with no shoulder markings until the slope starts at the far end. That sidewalk just comes to an abrupt end with no curb cuts.

If you rode your bicycle in Vancouver this weekend, there's a good chance that Lance Armstrong was riding nearby.
Armstrong helped draw cyclists to the inaugural Tour of Courage charity ride in Vancouver this weekend to raise nearly $3 million for the B.C. Cancer Foundation.
Hundreds of cyclists raised more than $1,000 each for the privilege to ride with Lance Armstrong at the event on Sunday; 50 high-rollers raised an average $21,000 each to ride with him on a bike ride on Saturday….

“I'd love to answer the question but unfortunately I'm out of that business. I'm here to fight cancer. I haven't looked online. I still love the bike and ride all the time but on the competitive side I'm just not engaged.”
Lance Armstrong in response to reporter's questions regarding Floyd Landis losing his appeal of doping charges raised after the 2006 …

The Screens N Spokes bike team is a group of artists who are raising money for this month's City-to-Shore MS150 bike ride by selling limited edition bike posters.
The last time I checked, there are 18 different posters on sale. The one at left was created by strawberryluna. This is a cool idea to celebrate the bicycle in art and raise money for a good cause at the same time.
All proceeds support the Greater Delaware Chapter of the National MS Society, which is hosting the 27th edition of the City to Shore bike ride on Sept. 29-30 that leaves from Philadelphia and ends at Ocean City. …

A newly opened pedestrian bridge in the Salt Lake Valley will enable cyclists to cross between two bike trails that had been separated by a six-lane Interstate 215 in Utah.
The 280-foot steel-truss bike and hike bridge was opened Friday. Costing $3.5 million, it connects the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in the east to the Jordan River Trail to the west over Parley's Trail.
Known as Parley's Crossing, it was originally envisioned as a tunnel under the freeway. …

The three-judge arbitration panel that heard the doping case of Floyd Landis this spring has voted 2-1 to uphold the allegation that the American used synthetic testosterone during last year's Tour de France.
The ruling means that Landis faces a two-year ban from professional cycling, retroactive to Jan. 30, 2007, and that he must forfeit his Tour de France championship.
Oddly enough, however, Landis won a major part of his argument about the French lab doing sloppy work, but lost the case.
The panel rejected the results from testosterone-epitestosterone ratio tests ….
