Two Wheeling Conservation
The Houston Chronicle Business section has a front page article on Houston oil companies encouraging employees to ride their bicycles to work.
Exxon Mobil, BP and ConocoPhillips are among the Houston-area employers trying to make it easier for employees to bike to work.
Workers already have enough excuses: potholes, impatient drivers and the Houston heat.
But some businesses are easing the commute for those who decide the exercise and reduced emissions make biking worthwhile. They’re giving them locker rooms, shower areas and safe places to park their bikes.
I would like to join this movement but my work place is 42 miles from my home.

Slick Tire Tool
For years I have used a Quick Stick tire tool. This tool is so easy to use instead of three tire levers. I have never pinched a tube with a Quick Stick and it fits nicely inside my seat bag. Once upon a time I bought them at Academy Sports + Outdoor but now I can only find them at REI.com. While fixing flats is not my favorite activity this tire tool makes it easier. The link.
The Fredcast Podcast
I found this podcast earlier this week. While this is not Texas specifically, they did mention Texas once in the podcast. The link is to the right under Bicycle Podcasts. I enjoyed the show, escpecially the interview with Graeme Street, creator of the very popular and successful Cyclo Core training programs.
