<p>We had a great time on the inaugural Bike Durham Bull Ride on Saturday. About 30 of us rode the bull around Durham. <strong></strong>We'll be scheduling future group outings on the Bike Durham Bull Ride, or <strong>you can do it on your own by using these <a href="https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/ss/c/ZsYp6Jc2ATNP3MkVzvte6PiPeG34xICT14s-ym3AFYO8Xyaz5uFFI-t-fj3ZLnGJdiMbPoI8UPr_DI5NkpGFfsUkociNpfwh9EG0CpFV8vy6bW9Uvkl6_shUEhpgGvFJV8bP6IWlcGlNHL2D-akL1OjsBNV9VLizV9dMD8J2nG3jVBpszgqwPSZNOaqSpGeCwkkreuMJ8NH_DrI5bbhEeJi-Lvc8Ib6BEKLSHxgY8N_YWmIa_rkxD6rtBCBRuWnlVl1bBAAZq2RFTXYibVS0BIeQEG9X9dzuSjm-AT_5xmjnWJ3Mm0vAzvg-vw7yCYgUEeLKa1shUQJ3b1iWlKoGyjxDRP26qjxRx5beoyj0ekUpPwUcVkKjxaHhPajTy7TMA92YkYYG8_2bDfixXbKd9w/3c6/mR1xWk_NTXyV0SQ5O1n-Bw/h0/mKWdguWe_5BjmkbNuFy2inkT_j02_uY8bJY80garJsc" target="_blank">directions</a>.</strong> We recommend that you ride with a friend. As you know, most Durham streets don't have protected lanes. </p>
<p>Speaking of not enough protected lanes (or sidewalks!). Join us tomorrow evening to learn about City plans to make our streets safer for walking and biking:</p>
<p><strong>Tuesday, May 25 at 7pm</strong> <strong>Discussion with City Transportation Staff about Plans and Projects for Safer Walking and Biking on Durham Streets</strong></p>
<p>Transportation director Sean Egan and Transportation planner Brian
Taylor will lay out the City's plans for making our streets safer for
people to walk and bike. They'll give us the big picture and share
information about projects that will be implemented this year, the
Durham Beltline, the Better Bus Project, and the City's Equitable Green
Infrastructure package. If you care about making our streets safer, come join the conversation. <strong><a href="https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/ss/c/P8Elou2Rvc0qoMPEUZrMXcOpy_XqN4R2ZGjoK-5zZnlKev-1h248ONljC3BSmR7nwsvz6AqyMIcx3lseGDFDau5G419_J2sYzhPpwjP-3Y8z4PGU0nybPQs0_s0XhgtAK-YXKLMBBJY34D1t0qbgO2Z5QtIJI7o1qcmW5EUKHGBAZaCGAPI1oHXpvypVULTVUZNakuPR8fzl6F9pWJZiS16PEeKepQf26QJXYFd4H9qM56OlXXSGcQlV4m2kPb58-OTOL2FRH8XrY1NYzMFDxfe7kSA6uLsorDUo2NfKEygskJ-t-DNX4iwRnoQW-BjFxKzFia0tOI6VUnRBaAOMH34oSVaWZ_6pDGc8eeUyF8xF5_CLzwmqGA7GeikfSbSgV0pSymrDMWGK6CiMNhop3r2dHxLbEfgyZwgZmJY4jHE/3c6/mR1xWk_NTXyV0SQ5O1n-Bw/h1/3HwUYpfOnjdPWpQYgUmbQxqs_MSw1M2OGfMPhjTpo9E" target="_blank">Register here.</a></strong><br>
