Get ready for another Streetsblog Network slide show.

This time, in honor of National Bike Month, we’re looking for pictures of bicycle infrastructure that you love. Lanes, trails, paths, signs, signals, parking, you name it — we want to see the best examples from all over the country.

We know there’s a lot of innovative stuff being built out there, and we’re counting on you to show us something we haven’t seen before, or just something that you’re particularly fond of.

You can send me JPEGs at sarah [at] streetsblog [dot] org, or tag your photos "streetsblog infrastructure" in Flickr. Please include caption information and let us know how you’d like to be credited. Get your photos to us by the afternoon of Friday, May 21.

To see a couple of examples of past user-generated slide shows, check out this one of work bikes, or this one of space hogs (those would be cars).

This in spite of studies that have shown better bicycle facilities are likely to be […]

The Streetsblog Network Needs Your Support

|
Managing the Streetsblog Network always keeps me on my toes. I just never know what is going to pop up in the feed in the morning. Sometimes the story is about decision-makers poised to do something short-sighted, like when local officials in Fort Worth, Texas abruptly canceled the city’s streetcar project, or when Philadelphia flirted […]

The Importance of Childcare Within Walking Distance

In honor of International Walk to School Day, we’re going to look at a post from Minnesota’s Twin Cities about what you might call Wouldn’t It Be Great If You Could Walk Your Kid to Preschool Day.
