Things are stirring on the bicycle safety front. Circle the date -- the bike safety action plan's first workshop is NOV 29, 8:30am-4:30pm at the DOT building on McKinley Drive, just south of Fowler Ave. and the USF campus.

And my friends at Penn’s Cycling School and Tampa BayCycle are presenting a Safe Cycling Commuter Skills Course.
