Well folks, the accident that happened this past weekend in Austin created a whole lot of activities among the bike enthusiast and community in the metro area. Here is a video from the local TV station KVUE:



The police in Austin is taking extra measures to ensure proper road behavior by both cyclists and drivers. I observed this first hand today (Friday) morning on Bee Caves road in Austin. I was driving together with quite a few cars (I often ride my bike on Bee Caves road). Several cars ahead of me was a motorcycle with a rider that actually was quite erratic (speeding up and slowing down) – and soon enough we came across a police officer on a motorbike observing traffic — oh, how quickly the police officer shot at high speed after the motorbike rider with police lights flashing — and by the time we reached the One World Theater on Bee Caves Road the motorbike was pulled over on the side of the road…I guess the new initiative by the police in action…

Well – please ride and drive with care for your fellow riders and drivers! Be safe!
