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.

Hiking and biking trails expected to be ready in March

Michael Maresh | www.palestineherald.com


Davey Dogwood Park once contained trails, but the lack of use caused them to go into disrepair.
Now a select few, including Palestine City Councilman Joseph Thompson and Diane Shiflet, owner of Dogwood Bicycle, want to bring the trails back.
Shiflet has seen and heard the need from her customers.
“It’s something to do,” she said. “They travel to other towns to do …


Porter students get bikes for Christmas

By Blake Paterson | www.chron.com


It will be easier for families of 50 lucky first- and second-graders to afford Christmas with help from Academy Sports and Outdoors on Thursday afternoon.
With their parents situated in benches behind them, the squirming bunch of Porter Elementary School students lined up in rows facing the cafeteria stage curtain, unaware of the surprise that awaited.
“How many of you know why you’re here? Do you know?” asked principal Sheri Bonsal, pointing from student to student. “This is all …

Christmas Light Bike Ride 2016

by Matthew | bike4heck.com


It’s been a busy school year, I switched grades that I teach so I’ve not been able to post lately and riding hasn’t taking place as much as I would have liked.
I was about to attend the 5th Annual Wild Dawg Christmas Light bike Ride with Tina and PJ.
The ride was really nice and had about 35 cyclists going through downtown …

Lamar Blvd. & Burnet Rd. to get bike lanes?!

by RedFalcon | bicycleaustin.info

There were two public meetings a few weeks ago about this, one for North Lamar, and the other for Burnett. Ironically, I missed the Lamar meeting because I had to replace the alternator on my girlfriends car. I emailed the program manager Annie Van Zant to ask about giving input and she was very helpful. She said that at the meetings they had people put blue dots along the routes where improvements were most needed. Each person was limited to five dots. This way the most serious spots could be identified.
I emailed in my list of 5 blue dot locations for each road, but honestly, there aren’t enough blue dots in the world to cover what is wrong with North Lamar. Years ago, when they had parent taught driver’s ed, I taught my kids to drive. I used North Lamar as the Final Exam. After months of practice they had to safely navigate that awful road, during rush hour, from Parmer to 183. If they could do that, they could go get their licences.
When I emailed the planners with my virtual blue dots I also included some general points. Here are some about cycling in particular: …
