The top local stories this afternoon from KERA News: While North Texas isn’t known for being particularly bike friendly, many cyclists wanted to prove otherwise. Today’s ‘Bike To Work Day’ was the perfect occasion to urge people to give the two-wheel commute a try.

Other stories this afternoon: This year’s Soluna Festival opened big this week with a major premiere called ‘Rules of the Game.’ It was choreographed by Jonah Bokaer with new music by pop star Pharrell Williams played by the Dallas Symphony

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:22 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
