This morning was the annual Bike to Work celebration hosted by the Lloyd District Transportation Management Assocation (LDTMA). In addition to free massages, bike tune-ups, food, coffee, and other helpful resources for bike commuters, the event marked the debut of the Lloyd Bikettes.
The Bikettes are LDTMA Program Manager Moira Green and volunteer Sandi Deodato. Their inspiring performance brought the house down. Hoping to encourage folks to joing the TMA’s Bike Committee, they courageously donned traffic safety vests and sang and danced their hearts out to Village People’s classic YMCA song.

Velodrome bill "unlikely" to move forward
I mentioned in my legislation update earlier this week that the chances of the velodrome bill (S.B. 926) passing were slim.
Now it seems like the final nail is in the coffin. Here’s what the Co-Chair of the Joint Ways and Means Committee recently said in response to a reader’s email:
