Irony: sitting in 8 solid lanes of traffic on I-10 trying to get downtown to attend the flagship fundraising event of Houston’s biggest mobility advocacy group (BikeHouston) because it’s too far to bike in a suit & commuter trains simply don’t exist.

The Westpark Dr bike lane is a little cleaner today - we shoveled a TON of mucky mud and leaves out of the lanes and collected buckets of sharp & ugly objects littered everywhere.
Big thanks to #BikeHouston for organizing & the volunteers who came out to lend a hand!
