Cycle*Dallas...

...is a personal, and thoroughly unofficial, running commentary on general utilitarian, vehicular, commuting, and sometimes recreational cycling in the City of Dallas, the DFW metroplex, and Greater Texas.

Utilizing irony and humor whenever possible, Cycle*Dallas is 100% reality-based, rejecting mythology (no matter how popular). It is safe to assume that the views expressed herein may not reflect the views of any public or private agency or institution, and may at times be contradictory to said institutions' policies.

Ride safe, ride often, and control your lane!
