Balmy weather yesterday and today in southeast Texas contributed to 55 miles this week. Earlier this week we endured the coldest weather of winter so far. Hopefully this is the last of it but I can’t count on it. With … Continue reading →

I don’t know much about the writer except that his first name is Chris. The suburban cycling woes of a coddled, distance rider (aka “Excuses, Excuses”) The problem with riding for fun is that it’s rarely fun when it’s convenient. I … Continue reading →

This blog is written by Kahne, an instructor at Tyler Junior College. That translates: riding the trainer–in this case for two hours (35 miles). It’s not the most exciting ride in the world. True, I have my iPod and Fatboy … Continue reading →

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.
