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 late wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.

My primary bike is the Cervelo Caledonia Rival AXS below. My titanium bike is the Lynskey Helix titanium. My newest bike is a Canyon Endurace CF 7 Rival eTap.

Video: Christmas prank draws stern words after LimeBikes planted in Dallas front yard

Bradley Blackburn | www.wfaa.com

www.centraltrack.com

At first, pranksters used toilet paper, crank calls and stink bombs to get their laughs. But now it seems they’ve moved to a more environmentally conscious product: bicycles, and, more specifically, bikesharing bikes.

One of the first victims of the prank to make the news was the Hale family of East Dallas. The members of the family woke up on Christmas Day to find that their front yard had become just like seemingly every sidewalk in …

Dallas bike-share companies are doomed

David Blewett | www.dallasnews.com


Many years ago, a wise old business professor liked to tell us young students how companies worked. He would tell us companies should always know who their customers were, and that companies could never survive without making a profit. Never.

Now that I am a bit older and have worked for and owned a few different …

This weekend’s rides: Scenic to MJs, attempt #2! Red Horn!

by Thomas | steinerranchcycling.com

This Saturday’s weather looks to be the best we are going to get for a while. Let’s try again for MJs via Mt. Bonnell! Last weekend this was attempted, but the poor weather degraded the ride into just a plain Dam Loop and missed all the good parts. The route is 62 miles and …
