Bike Fort Worth

Bike Fort Worth is the City’s comprehensive bicycle transportation plan for developing a friendlier bicycle environment.  Recommendations for supportive policies, programs and facilities are included to increase bicycle transportation within the City of Fort Worth.

The City has identified three goals to benchmark the success of the plan:

  • Triple the number of bicycle commuters
  • Decrease bicyclist related crashes by 10 percent
  • Attain official designation as a Bicycle Friendly Community through the League of American Bicyclists.

Implementation of the Bike Fort Worth plan will promote bicycling as a safe and attractive transportation alternative.  A bicycle transportation network will improve livability in Fort Worth by providing an alternative travel option to residents of the City and improved access to other modes of transit.

For parking facilities Dowtown and from Magnolia Street to Magnolia Avenue area, please refer to the Bicycle Rack Map (PDF). For information regarding Regional Bike Trail systems visit the North Central Texas Council Of Governments (NCTCOG) Bike Web.

For comments or questions regarding the Bike Fort Worth plan, contact Julia McCleeary, 817-392-2593.

Public Hearing

A public hearing on the draft Bike Fort Worth Plan is scheduled for 7 p.m. Feb. 9 at the regular City Council meeting. The meeting will take place in City Hall’s Council Chamber, 1000 Throckmorton St.

Just like the Cow Patty Classic, this ride will start and end at Vista Ridge High School and follow the same route, only this ride includes only HALF the distance of the Cow Patty Classic. Get it “Half Calf!” Oh dear…how we crack ourselves up!

At this inaugural event, however, we decided to add the 75 mile route back in, just for fun, for those looking for a nice, fully supported ride at a bit of a longer distance. All routes – 25, 50 & 75 mile – feature moderate to intermediate level courses with rolling hills and beautiful scenery.

This is a fully supported ride for riders at any stage of training with multiple rest stops (with snacks & sport drinks), clear directional signage, bicycle mechanics, and medical support. And of course, dont forget a complimentary ride t-shirt and goodie bag! T-shirts and goodie bags can only be guaranteed for those who pre-register by November 15, 2010. After that date, they will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
