Santa Cruz Light Up the Night Bike Ride is Tomorrow (1/30/15)

Light up the Night Bike Ride

My housemate and I will be out enjoying the Santa Cruz bicycling community!

I'm logging my miles for May is Bike Month in the Sacramento Region. If you're in the greater Sacramento area you should be doing the same! If you're from a different area, then lookup your local events over at the League of American Bicyclists.

Contrails - Building Community by Chalkline

Found this over on Bicycle Design. The Contrail - Biking Community Tool encourages bicycling by making a chalk line on the road where a Contrail equipped bike has passed. As more Contrail bikes pass over the area, the chalk lines becomes thicker and brighter. The lines create interest and shows where to ride bikes safely.

Its an interesting idea but it'd be a long stretch for this to work outside of areas where there are lots of bicyclists to create and maintain these chalk pathways.

But it sure is an interesting idea. Until it rains.
