Tumbling headfirst over the handlebars was not how Eastsider Tyler Cope pictured the beginning of his trek across the country, but there he was June 2, sprawled out on a California highway, scraped up and his cycling helmet cracked but intact.”Day 1 was probably the hardest part,” Cope, 21, said about cycling uphill for dozens of miles away from the ocean, then crashing. “It was just like a big mental game that I had so much riding against me.

About Texbiker.net Texbiker.net covers the news, events and resources for those interested in Texas bicycling.
My bicycling passion was rekindled in 1979 with a Huffy bicycle from Woolco. From early rides around my neighborhood my enthusiasm grew to tackle my unsupported first century. From there I discovered organized rides all over Texas, races and mountain bikes. Many bikes and miles later the enthusiasm is still there.
Thanks to my wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.
In 1999 Texbiker.net was born to help my fellow bikers have ready access to all of the information about the Texas bicycling scene.
