Beat ya to it.

Of course, I have an unfair advantage, as I am awake and about when the Houston Press is delivered in the wee hours of Wednesday night/Thursday morning.
The recent conviction of the mobile-communication-device-distracted driver in, IIRC, the DFW area is a step in the right direction, though she did not strike a cyclist. It will be interesting to see what happens to the driver who killed that couple on a tandem in the Helotes area.

I noticed on my ride yesterday that there was a sign that said "cell phone use prohibited $200 fine" on memorial dr near hunters creek. I also no longer see the no bikes sign either in that area.

If the goal of that story was to scare people away from riding their bikes, then I have to say they knocked out of the park.
Just another crap piece by a shock-jock journalist.

The cover page to the houston press was a little over the top. They did seem to touch base on some points I could relate to but in all honesty I never did finish the article Houston press stories can be a little long winded for my taste.
