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.

LBJ 100 Volunteers Needed
URGENT:  We have lost a couple of Traffic Directors and SAG (Support and Gear) Drivers for our LBJ 100 on March 26. These are key positions on
this event.  If you have a vehicle (SUV or pick-up) that could be used as a SAG vehicle for hauling bike riders back to a marshaling point, please call Nolan Kuehn (210-355-2645 or email mailto:nolank@gvtc.com) to volunteer, or get more info.  He would love to talk to you. Traffic Directors will be stationed at key turn points, directing certain riders when and where they should make their turns.  Once the riders have passed that point, the Traffic Directors job is finished.  He/she can then concentrate on eating the Kiolbassa sausage to be served at the post-ride meal.

BikeDenton at NAHBS 2011
from Bike Denton by bikedenton
I recently went to Austin for the sixth annual NAHBS, the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. It was a hyper-sensory experience that no blog post, video, or photo gallery could synthesize. The handshakes and conversations seemed like a delight for the builders who spend much of their time working in solitude. …

Me and the Bike and the World
By Amy Dolejs, On Twitter @luv2bike
It feels like being alive.
On the days I’m lucky enough to have no after-work appointments, no meetings for which I have to look spiffier than I can manage with baby wipes, I get on my bike at 5:30 a.m. and ride the 9.5 miles to work. …

La Primavera – Lago Vista Race Report
from Mike’s Bike Blog
Saturday
The stage was set for an epic race and for some it probably was. You see the temperature at the 8am start was right around freezing and the clouds looked threatening. The start of the 35+ 4/5 race was with dry roads except for one puddle but that soon changed after lap 1 when the heavens opened and it started to rain. Our pace wasn’t going to set…

Texas | What a Bicycle can do!
from yubaride.com/yubamundo.blog
I sold my bike today.  Well, it’s wasn’t really my bike.  It belonged to Yuba.  But in my mind, it was my bike.  If you’ve been cruising our web site or seen our ads, chances are you’ve seen this bike.  Funny thing is I didn’t think I was attached to it until I saw it roll away and suddenly it…

Spring Forward & Sun Recovery Ride Time Change
from Shawnee Trail Cycling Club by sooner1
Why, it seems like only a year ago…   Wait – it was just a year ago that Daylight Savings Time went into effect.  I can’t believe we’ve almost made it through another winter of riding.  Hasn’t it been fun?  Of course, we have to throw out part of January with all the snow and ice that kept us off the road.  Other than that, Shawnee Trail CC members were on the road in some of the coldest weather (North Texas style). …

This evening’s ride was brisk with… – March 9th Bike Ride

Texbiker.net Posted on March 9, 2011 by Rick AnkrumMarch 9, 2011

This evening’s ride was brisk with a cooling breeze, clear skies and 64 degree temperature. For some reason tonight’s ride I was able to ride at a high cadence and maintain a good average speed considering I was riding my mountain bike. With daylight savings time arriving Sunday this was probably my next to last ride on the Motobecane 700 MTB. I should be able to ride tomorrow night and then I will start riding my road bike almost exclusively. This will help me pick up the pace since my speed and distance on the road bike is better than the MT. No events during the ride tonight just cranking the pedals and watching for traffic and critters on the trails.
