Bicyclists representing the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy delivered a petition with more than 51,000 signatures to the American Automobile Association headquarters in Heathrow, Florida, Monday morning.
The petition asks that AAA stop its opposition to using the federal Highway Trust Fund to pay for trails and other bicycling programs. Those programs amount to about 1.5% of the surface transportation funding, according to the non-profit.
About 25 cyclists joined the procession from the OutSpoke'N Bike Shop in Lake Mary, Florida, to the AAA offices located on the Seminole-Wekiva Trail …

After the attacks on four women in Seattle parks and trails the past few weeks, police are urging women to take measures to ensure their safety.
All of the attacks have occurred after dark against women who were jogging or running alone. The locations — Colman Park, Seward Park and Mt. Baker tunnel area — are all along the western shore of Lake Washington.
Although none of the assaults involved women on bicycles, a Nov. 16 attack occurred near the east entrance of the Mount Baker tunnel, an area used by many bicycle commuters.
When a half dozen bicyclists were pulled off their bikes and mugged in the Mount Baker tunnel area during a period in 2008 and 2009, police and bike advocates urged that bicyclists ride in groups through the area. Riding with a pal or in a group…

An English cyclist who achieved the fastest around-the-world bike tour this past summer is organizing a new event — the Global Bicycle Race.
Vin Cox finished his solo 18,227-mile bike tour in 163 days back in August 2010. He says a race that seeks to break his Guinness World Record would create an atmosphere that draws a lot of press attention and gives cyclists a chance to feed their craving for adventure.
Cox submitted an application for recognition of the bike race to the Guinness World Records this week.
He's suggesting that the race start at Greenwich Park in London on February 18, 2012. That means the next record-setting cyclist would return to the finish just as the 2012 Summer Olympics in London is getting underway …
