Winding Down for the Year
Bike Noob
Like many of us, I spent several days around Christmas in another part of the country. Among other things, that meant no biking for five days in a row — tough to take when I had hoped to get a lot of riding in over the break.
We got back home Saturday, a day early, and I was looking forward to getting out on the roads on Sunday.
Of course, the weather report was dead on — we ..

McALLEN – Several months from now, residents will have the opportunity to rent bicycles from the city as part of a new bike-share program, but whether people will participate is still up in the air.
At its Dec. 8 meeting, the City Commission approved the bid of B-cycle — a company Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin uses — to implement a bike-share program here. Most of the costs will be covered by a federal grant, but the city needs to buy the actual bikes, which will cost about $110,000, said Mario Delgado, the city’s transit director.
Users will be able to swipe their credit cards at stations to rent the …
