YES! I would love to do this in DFW! The dorba.org website would be perfect for this, and I will try to get our developer in contact with Open Austin to get the source code...

can they call me at 6:30 to make sure I'm up? My biggest barrier to bike commuting is not getting up early enough, ergo the car becoming a better option for making it on time.
