    • Ann Arbor is relaunching its bike share under a new operator (MLive). The University of Memphis will launch a bike-share program next fall (Flyer).

    • Reading between the lines of this News-Star article, it seems some NIMBYs in Monroe, La. don't want a Greyhound bus station downtown.
    • A U.K. startup has created sort of a bat signal for bikes — a laser headlight that projects an image of a bike, making riders more visible to drivers at night. (Digital Trends)
