March 27, 2008 by RI BIke

Ask RIDOT: Bicycle traffic-light sensors are not coming any time soon

March 6, 2008 by RI BIke

The first Boulevard bike lane striping entry on this website attracted far more comments – pro and con – than any other topic that has ever appeared on this site.

Sharrows?

March 2, 2008 by RI BIke

Some progressive cities have begun using sharrows, shared road markings, to remind motorists that bicycles have a right to the road and that we may well be riding farther in the lane than they would expect.
