Dog-Cycling
by katiejo Austin on Two Wheels

Riding bicycles is like trying on masks at the Spirit of Halloween Store. I have a serious case of bike lust, and to satiate my bike lust I have a semi-permanent collection of bicycles to peruse and try on to suit my daily whims. A fixie for the days when I wanna feel hip around town, a thick wheeled mountain bike when I wanna rub elbows with the dirt, a cargo bike that can transport up…

A Bike That Isn’t Mine – Seriously
The Plano Cyclist
As someone who does “bike stuff”, I’m the guy that people ask to help them fix their old bikes. I generally don’t mind doing it, as I can’t always buy new bikes just to work on them, and I love to get people back on two wheels. The only bikes I generally won’t work on are NEXT bikes from Wal-Mart. I’ve had a couple brought to me; the bolts…

Check the list out and let me know of any corrections or additions. I am down through the Houston shops.

North Texas’ love affair with the automobile is a passionate one, as evidenced by the region’s history.

Car Wars! Steel vs. Aluminum — Not as Cut and Dry as You Think
Jason Busch, Metal Miner
Years ago (I’m talking 1991/1992) when I was into Cat 2/3 competitive cycling, we used to make fun of all the nut jobs riding those fat, ugly aluminum bikes made by Cannondale (they used to be much fatter and uglier than today). However, the massively oversized tubes made up for aluminum’s rigidity loss, given the technology and alloys available at the time. And the ride and response was actually quite good, especially looking at value for the dollar (carbon and titanium frames were outrageous at the…

Tight Hamstrings & Cycling | The Wheel Brothers – Cycling in Texas
by admin
Many cyclists’ suffer from tight hamstrings, even though they stretch frequently. What’s the deal? Tight hamstrings are commonly a result of “gluteal amnesia.” In essence, the glutes forget how to contract, causing the hamstrings and calves to overwork. This is especially relevant for individuals who bike frequently then sit for long periods.

Think of the body as a puppet controlled by strings. If one or more of the strings get out of balance the whole puppet suffers. The body is…
