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.

I believe biking and walking to work is gonna become more widespread. think about it, with gas prices going up,its crazy,the safe passing bill is needed.My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of a hit and run. 5 cities are most walkable and I believe cities in texas need to be among them
Thank you
While this legislation brings awareness of the issue, until drivers and riders respect each others’ space there will be problems on the road.
