🚲 World Bicycle Day reminds us that bikes are more than recreation—they’re transportation, freedom, health, and community.

Let’s keep pushing for safer streets, connected trails, and infrastructure that works for everyone.

What a headline, .

As easy as it would be to say “Yes!”, we believe the answer is actually “No.”

We’ve studied this epidemic for 28 years. We’ve found bike crashes aren’t more frequent and more extreme because drivers hate us. The catastrophic ones are happening more often for reasons that can be mitigated at the engineering, policy, and enforcement stages of shared roadway usage.

Plus, hating us would require acknowledgment. Hating us requires seeing us.

Sure, a small percentage arise from intentional acts of violence. But almost of them are caused by recklessness: driver inattention, impatience, distraction, intoxication, and high speeds.

Yes, the comments and victim-blaming responses to bike crashes by internet trolls are indicative of a real problem. But most of those people aren’t actually striking cyclists or other vulnerable road users. They’re cowards. They’re ignorant. A lot of them are grown folk hiding behind a keyboard in their mom’s basement, yelling at her that she’s out of Hot Pockets. Some are bots.

What if prioritizing inclusive infrastructure for active transportation, competent crash investigations by unbiased law enforcement, aggressive prosecution in every jurisdiction, and harsher sentencing and punishments for crash-causing drivers were features instead of bugs?

What if reporters and news media publishing these crashes wrote with intention and chose words that give agency and accountability to the motorists who cause us harm and refrain from mentioning whether a cyclist struck from behind was wearing a helmet?

What if the patented technology that’s existed for two decades to stop drivers from texting while driving was required in all handheld cellular devices without concern for how it would impact a company’s market share?

Some drivers are going to “hate” us no matter what. They may also always believe the earth is flat, no matter what science and evidence exists to prove otherwise. These people would be completely irrelevant if the proactive and responsive elements of roadway safety for all were priorities from the top down.

It’s not that simple, if you ask us.

The four biggest joy killers: traffic anxiety, Strava obsession, comparing yourself to others, and dreading hills.

Every single one has a fix.

Know the difference 🚲🏍️

🚲 Know the Difference Before You Ride 🚲

E-bikes (electric bicycles) are equipped with pedals and can be used on bike lanes, sidewalks, and trails. E-bikes can be ridden on roadways, but riders must adhere to all traffic laws.

Motor-assisted scooters do not have pedals, and you do not need a license or registration for these. However, the Schertz City Ordinances prohibit their use on sidewalks.

Mopeds/Motor Scooters, electric motorcycles, and Electric dirt bikes (also known as pocket or minibikes) operate solely with a throttle, can reach higher speeds, and are classified as motorcycles under Texas law. This classification means they require a driver’s license, registration, and insurance for road use. Electric dirt bikes are not permitted in bike lanes, on sidewalks, or on trails.

Using the wrong vehicle in an inappropriate area can lead to citations, fines, or accidents.

Ride Smart. Ride Legally. Ride Safely.

Safety Tips for Riders:
- Always wear a helmet.
- Ride with traffic and follow all traffic laws.
- Use lights and reflectors when riding at night.
- Slow down around pedestrians and on shared paths.
- Parents: talk with your children about safe riding practices!

E-bikes can be a fun and efficient way to travel, but safety and awareness are essential to keeping everyone on our roads and trails safe.

Stay safe and ride responsibly!
