I've spent the last three days in Houston, Texas, attending a professional conference. The city reminds me of Atlanta with a central business district, outlying areas of highrise development (think downtown/midtown/Buckhead), and it has a lot of crazy car traffic. It also has the flavor of Savannah with oak trees framing major roadways, lots of parks, churches, and several universities, and generally flat terrain. The humidity is also as high as the temperature...and it's been hot! What's struck me most is the direction Houston is taking their transportation system, and how the cycling community is behaving around town.
