October 2025 Newsletter​

Crazy summer! This season has been full of highs, lows, and everything in between. From young champions like five-year-old Pebble writing her own letter to Premier Houston, to ten-year-old Torin making a blockbuster speech at the rally, our cycling community has shown incredible passion and resilience. Mayor Fillmore even got a ride on the back of Bike Mayor Steve MacKay’s bike after skipping the annual Mayor’s Ride. Together, we successfully defended progress on our minimal connected bike network, resisted attempts to halt Brunswick Street bike lanes, and held firm even as Premier Houston intervened. In this issue, you’ll find updates on advocacy including the new Traffic Safety Act, upcoming rides and workshops, news from the Board of Directors, cycling tips for fall conditions, the Cycling Guide app, volunteer opportunities, and what we’re reading and watching this month.
