Yesterday morning, several area cyclists gathered at the NCSU bell tower for a check-out ride of the temporary bike lanes on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. The future of the lanes will be the topic of discussion at next week's meeting of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission. Look for a post about that soon. City Councilor Russ Stephenson, pictured above second from left, showed up at the start to talk about the pilot project. Russ is a strong advocate for better bicycling facilities in Raleigh. If you're a Raleigh area cyclist, you'll see Russ' name on the ballot when you go to the polls tomorrow. He is running for re-election to an at large seat on the City Council. Also pictured (l-r): Steve Waters, a BPAC member and former BPAC chair, Alan Wiggs, the current BPAC chair, and Dale, who you may know from local bike / running events and the REI store in North Hills...
