www.cbsnews.com

(Video)
There are an estimated 100 million bicycle owners in the U.S.
If you’re one of them, it may be parked in a garage collecting dust, but you can make money on that bike when you’re not using it, CBS News’ David Begnaud reports.
Inside a tiny studio apartment in southern California, at least six employees maintain a website and a mobile app for a global bike-sharing company called Spinlister.
In 90 seconds or less, anyone can list their bike on Spinlister.com through the app or website, set a rental price and select accessories to include with the rental.
Spinlister’s cheapest rental is in Palo Alto, California, for $1 a day. A four-person family bike in San Francisco is the most expensive daily rental at $400.

Cyclocross Nationals Postmortum

I raced my third Cyclocross National Championships this past Thursday in Austin, Texas, joining
The fitness was there, but my ability to maintain speed and apply power through the technical sections of the course was sub-par compared to the top racers in my category.

Getting acquainted with Big Bend on a mountain hike

By Mike Snyder        www.chron.com


Last September, three days after my 60th birthday, I took a five-mile hike in the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park. My inexperience quickly became apparent as I trudged along the rugged, stony path: I hadn’t brought enough water, my shoes (old sneakers) were inadequate, and I had failed to account for the fact that the return trip would be uphill.
I had, at least, applied sunscreen and worn a hat. And I started early, though not early enough to avoid temperatures that reached the 90s before I emerged from the wilderness, sweating and sore, and stumbled back to my room at the lodge where I was staying.
Although I’m a lifelong Texan, this was my first visit to Big Bend. On my way there, I spent two days in the …

My Ultimate Challenge – UMCA Highest Annual Mileage Record

www.tarzanrides.com


At some point in your life you will be challenged to do something that at first glance appears to be completely unattainable.  I have had these challenges come up over the years and with the planning, perseverance and the support of my family, friends and the universe  I have been able to achieve everything I have set out to do.  Now I have been presented with my ultimate challenge: to cycle more than 75,000 miles in 1 year (that is more than 3 times around the world, 25 times across the U.S)  or simply 206 miles per day.
“If anyone can take on this challenge, it is Kurt Searvogel. He has the stamina, the drive, and the right amount of obsessiveness to not only start such an endeavor, but also see it through to it’s completion.”- Nick Gerlich RAAM finisher, owner of Florida and Texas Hell Week
When I first looked at this problem I thought  why would I be willing to give up a year of my life to do nothing but ride my bike.   Then I realized that most of the friends I have ride and …

Cycling: Endurance cyclist Kurt Searvogel attempts 75,000 miles

by Michelle Williams        www.clarionledger.com


How many miles did you drive in your car this year? I did not travel as much this year as in past years, but I typically average 20,000 miles. I am sure some of you who travel extensively for a living put more than 50,000 miles on your vehicles. But what if I were to tell you that Arkansas endurance cyclist Kurt Searvogel is going to attempt to ride his bicycle more than 75,000 miles in one year? Don’t pull out your calculator — I can already tell you that to ride 75,000 miles in one year, Kurt will have to ride his bike an average of 206 miles a day for 365 days!
Searvogel is going after the Highest Annual Mileage record set in 1939 by Tommy Godwin — the record has an interesting history, and I’ll blog about …

My Top Two Cycling Goals for 2015

by Ray Garza        rgvcycling.com

It’s January 2015 and the start of a new year. Like everyone else, I too am reflecting on what I resolve to do for the year. There is the usual lose weight and get fitter but there is something more that I would like to do. Cycle a 100 miles (century ride) and see more of the valley on a bike are the top two cycling goals I would like to do for the year 2015.
I’ve always wanted to join the Century club ever since I tried the Hotter ‘n Hell 100 in Wichita Falls, Texas many years ago. I completed about 75 miles and had to stop because they were closing the course. Rules! Ever since then I wanted to try again but life keeps getting in the way. There are a ton of excuses that I could come up with but …

AUSTIN, Texas (Jan. 9, 2015) – The final six masters divisions of the 2015 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships were settled and collegiate competition began on Friday at Zilker Park, as the five-day competition passed the midpoint in Austin, Texas.

An already technical course at Zilker Park became even more difficult when pre-race showers muddied the undulating turns, challenging the final six masters divisions and the co-ed collegiate team relay.

Kate Powlison (Boulder, Colo./Evol Elite Racing) won the first race of the day on the muddy course, taking the women’s 30-34 division in 44:44. Jenna Blandford (Louisville, Ky./VO2) took second in 45:07 and Leslie Timm (Chelmsford, Mass.) rounded out the …

Got out yesterday, 1/6/15, in the awesome weather we experienced before this cold front hit today. Got to play with my new toys in the form of a Go-Pro white 3, and some (like new) 2014 Easton Haven wheels. The wheels are an awesome upgrade to my stock DT Swiss X 1900’s that had rear freewheel issues. After the warranty replacement wheel crapped out, I went a different direction and found these Haven’s on ebay for $250! Couldn’t believe the great deal, and now even more so that they are such an overall improvement in weight and performance.
So here is my attempt at using the Go-Pro. Please be gentle, I am new at videoing, and I’m out of shape! Oh the holidays…

Houston’s Hike & Bike Trails Await!

By Michael Hardy        www.houstoniamag.com


On weekends, Fayza Elmostehi likes to load up her bike, then make the 20-minute drive from her Montrose apartment to the 500-acre Terry Hershey Park, which straddles both sides of Buffalo Bayou in west Houston. There, under a thick canopy of trees, Elmostehi, a social media manager for a tech company, speeds through hours-long rides along the park’s 10 miles of trails. The irony of driving her car so that she can ride her bike isn’t lost on her, and she often wishes there were a better way.
A better way is in fact on the way. Last year, the City of Houston launched the Bayou Greenways 2020 Project, whose goal is to build hike-and-bike trails along all of the city’s major bayous. Some of them, like Buffalo and Brays, already have trails, but even those …

Township invests in Greenway trail, parking

By Bridget Balch        www.yourhoustonnews.com

Spring Creek Greenway Trail
At its last meeting of the year, The Woodlands Township Board of Directors authorized a grant of $25,000 to the Bayou Land Conservancy for the Spring Creek Greenway and $72,000 to hire PGAL for a preliminary analysis of the planned transportation center and parking garage.
The Spring Creek Greenway is a 33-mile corridor that connects Harris and Montgomery counties and includes hiking trails, nature preserves, parks and wildlife habitats.
The BLC, which is a nonprofit organization that works primarily on wetland mitigation, has obtained about 80 percent of the land planned to make up the Greenway and is in the process of procuring and connecting the entire 12,000 acres.
The BLC approached the board in October to present to them the concept of the Spring Creek Greenway Trail, a planned 11-mile hiking and biking softscape pathway that will cost $175,000, and to ask for a …

www.usacycling.org


AUSTIN, Texas (Jan. 7, 2015) – Riders claimed the first two titles of the 2015 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships on Wednesday at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, as men’s and women’s singlespeed ruled the event’s blustery first day of competition.
Justin Lindine (North Ogden, Utah/Team Redline) nabbed the men’s singlespeed top prize, clinching the Stars-and-Stripes jersey in 39:44.
