Breakfast links: Bike on

Silver line biking

Bike parking at Wiehle has increased steadily since the line opened in July. Current counts would make it one of the most popular stations for bike parking, even though information on available parking is unclear or unavailable. (FABB)

Streetcar details

The H Street streetcar could provide a valuable connection to Metro for bar-goers. New proposed regulations suggest the line will run until 2 am on weekends. And, like Metro, bikes will be banned during rush hour. (DCist)

Cycle tracks for children

A cycle track in Austin helps kids bike safely to their elementary school. The project provides a safe connection from a wide neighborhood street to a new pedestrian and bike bridge. (Streetsblog)

RFK plans

Are Washington’s NFL team and the Olympic exploratory committee working together to build a new facility at the RFK site? Both have expressed interest in the site, and Olympic venues have been converted to team stadiums in the past. (Post)

Taxi times

In San Francisco, wait times for ride services like Uber are significantly shorter than wait times for taxis.  Are ridesourcing apps’ ability to connect passengers with the nearest driver driving their popularity? (CityLab)

Not there yet

Google’s driverless car technology is far from ready for general use, and the remaining issues, like adapting to temporary conditions not in the system’s database, may prove to be the hardest to solve.  (MIT Technology Review, jimble)  (Tip: jimble)
