MERCEDES–A winter Texan rode his bike through seven states to make his way to the valley.
Bill Laney started in Wisconsin and ended in Mercedes. It added up to 1,928 miles. Bill Laney said the idea came from his son.

I am a bicyclist. When I moved to Houston in 2006, I got a rude awakening in terms of how people driving treated people bicycling. I encountered rude drivers even when riding through neighborhood streets and received my fair share of honking and one-fingered waves. Fast-forward ten years and the landscape has changed: I have seen noticeable improvements in bicycle awareness and making Houston a more bicycle -friendly city. Much of this can be …
