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.

The U.S. now has 12 protected intersections, up from 4 in 2015 and 0 in 2014

Michael Andersen | www.peopleforbikes.org


The country’s newest major bike-lane innovation is very young. But so far, it’s spreading faster than the protected bike lane did.
Protected intersections — a clever way to rearrange traffic so that people on bikes and cars no longer have to look over their shoulders for each other — have existed for decades in other countries. But after they were visualized for the U.S. context in 2011 by the Dutch blogger Mark Wagenbuur and given a name in 2014 by the U.S. planner Nick Falbo, the design burst into the spotlight. Last year, four opened to regular traffic: two in Austin, one in Salt Lake City and one in Davis, California.
This year, the country added eight more. They arrived in Atlanta, Ga.; Berkeley, Calif.; Chicago, Ill.; College Station, Tex.; and …

Bicycle Given by Late Aunt Among Items Stolen in String of Brownwood Burglaries

By Chelsea Followwell | www.bigcountryhomepage.com

Rosemary Satberry said her grandson Xavier had told her that his bicycle was gone but that she thought he was joking. That was, until he brought her a broken lock once used on his bicycle.
That bicycle meant much …
