Pinellas County Looks At Selling Pinellas Trail Sign Sponsorships

Local governments are sniffing around for more revenue and Pinellas County is looking at putting up sponsorship signs along the Pinellas Trail.

The Tampa Bay Times has the story here -- http://www.tampabay.com/news/localgovernment/article1227728.ece

Also, you may have seen the video of a hit-and-run in California where a motorist struck two bicyclists in a Berkeley bike lane. A bicyclist wearing a camera captured the shenanigans of the motorist going into the bike lane and hitting him and his biking partner. Police used the footage and Ided the driver's car, then found the driver and an arrest was made.

Glad to see bicyclists documenting motorists endandering their safety.
