Is there a subtext to parking debates?: Many people who complain about a lack of parking seem to be complaining about something else, either a lack of free parking or a lack of parking extremely close to their destinations. In downtown Roanoke, which has recently been subject to this debate, most parking is closer to main destinations than the parking lots at a regional mall are to the stores. (RIDE Solutions) (Comment)
Roanoke riders in car-sized bikes: A group of Roanoke cyclists rode around with metal frames the size of sedans, to illustrate how much less room bikes take up. They followed the laws that apply to cars, and also found that when you're that big, cars are more likely to yield when they're supposed to. (Roanoke Times, Carter) (Comment)
