I had blogged about bikes+transit.com in a post entitled Bikes + Transit = fun on a bun, because Donald Wiedman had emailed me directly about the launch press conference. It’s great to see individuals like Wiedman taking steps to show people that they really can have fun in their own backyards.
Be sure to check out the website if you would like to learn more about bikes+transit.
