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.

John Brenneis has his eye on a custom Cervelo P3 bicycle with a P5 front end.

Opinion: Bike lanes belong on Broadway

By Lauren Bartholomew | www.mysanantonio.com

OK, you are fortunate enough to be staying at Hotel Emma or the new W Hotel that’s coming to Broadway. Or you drove to the Witte Museum or DoSeum and want to make a day of it — Broadway is such a cool area now after all the improvements. You ask the concierge or docent or your phone, what’s the quickest way for me to get to the Alamo? “Well, that’s easy, walk, rent a scooter, or bicycle down the protected lanes south on Broadway, hang a left on Houston and you can’t miss it.”

Or the answer is, …

Bike Lanes on Cameron & Dessau Roads – City of Austin Listening Session

A DUDE ABIKES | adudeabikes.com

This past Thursday the City of Austin (Texas) Active Transportation Department had a gathering for interested citizens to come give their input about bike lanes. These roads are really the same, they just change names. After passing one highway, it becomes a six-lane death trap from hell, if you’re on a bicycle. As a cyclist who volunteered numerous times on a committee for just this cause, I was keen to go and see this project finally start to come to life. It’s always interesting to participate in the process of something that could …

Double flat trouble for The Snakedoctor

Brent Wells | www.strava.com

The first flat happened within 8 miles of the start of our ride. He attempted to fix it, but his spare tube also had a leak in it. He borrowed a tube and CO2 cartridge from me and we rode on. Of course, he was incredibly strong as usual. Toward the end of our ride, he told me that his rear tire started to lose air again. He rode until it was impossible to continue, and then called his wonderful wife, “Nat,” who came and picked him up. Jeff is a wonderful example to me of how to handle bad situations. He never once panicked, and if you know Jeff, that is part of what makes him a great and admirable person. “Ok, enough sap Wells!”
