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.

Little known fact: when Santa visits Houston, he uses a cargo bike (it’s much more efficient than flying).

My apologies for the weather

By Hugh | austinmountainbiking.com

Finally replaced my broken mountain bike yesterday.

Revel Rascal bought at Velorangutan.

A week ago I made a joke to the wife about a brand new car (she shot it down). So then I joked about a brand new bike (and I was very specific).

I didn’t think she would actually order a bike for me.

I went into Velo to check on Rascals. They said they have to check on inventory and get back to me.

They connected the dots and realized my wife had just ordered a bike. They tried to help make it a surprise. They were trying to go out of their way on this Christmas surprise.

This shop is a good find. …
