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.

Commentary: Texas is meeting its transportation challenges

By J. Bruce Bugg, Jr. | www.statesman.com

Yes, things are bigger in Texas, including growing pains, but with those challenges come great opportunities which are worth their rewards when patience and perseverance prevail. After all, our population and economy are booming for very good reasons: Texas has the 10th largest economy in the world and is one of the world’s most desirable places to live, work and do business. …

… There is always room for improvement when it comes to safety, but recent statistics are noteworthy. From 2016-17, Texas saw fewer fatalities on state roads. Also, bicycle and pedestrian fatalities decreased by 10 percent. Our commitment toward saving lives and positively affecting driver behavior through ongoing education, training and awareness will continue as we aim to make Texas roads safer. …

Sookie’s Last Ride (Ever!) & Sophie’s Last Ride of 2018 on New Year’s Eve in Austin

A DUDE ABIKES | adudeabikes.wordpress.com

Today was my last chance to add to my mileage and extend my goal of bike-riding x number of miles for 2018. So I took the opportunity of a decently mild Central Texas winter day and did just that. First, I took Sookie to Performance Bikes, since they’re a Fuji dealer, to see if they could do anything about her cracked frame. However, they couldn’t, because their parent company is going out of business. But at least I got yet another …

Spider Mountain opens Jan. 18th as Texas’ first lift-accessed bike park

By Steve Fisher | bikerumor.com

Early in the new year, Texas is getting their first lift-accessed bike park. Set to open January 18th 2019, Spider Mountain will also be the USA’s only bike park that runs year-round. The park is located in Burnet, Texas overlooking Lake Buchanan and the nearby Thunderbird Lodge and Event Center. One cool thing about this bike park is that it’s not part of a ski resort- this chairlift is only for bikes! …
