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.

By Ryan Hill

kfoxtv.com


EL PASO, Texas — The toll lanes on the Cesar Chavez highway haven’t exactly been a big money maker.
Raymond Telles, executive director of the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority, tells KFOX14 there’s a reason for that.
“You can expect those numbers to be lower because they are not connecting to any other facilities,” Telles said. “Borderwest Expressway — the huge project, 639 million roughly — that’s …

By Dug Begley

www.chron.com


Houston’s nominee for police chief, Art Acevedo, donned spandex and hit the streets with his officers during South By Southwest on March 14.
Houston’s new police chief might have an uphill climb with some people, but with cyclists he’s already coasting.
“Chief Art Acevedo has been an excellent police chief regarding issues and actions related to bicyclist and pedestrian safety,” said Robin Stallings, executive director of Bike Texas, based in Austin, where Acevedo has been the top cop for nine years.
