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.

ContourGPS helmet cam review
via Engadget by Tim Stevens
ContourGPS Helmet Cam
Helmet cameras have now achieved the pinnacle of HD recording: 1080p. If you have the cash, a lid, and a pastime worth filming you have a few choices for full HD extreme POV recording. So what’s a little lid-mounted recorder to do for its next trick? If you’re Contour it’s to add a positional sensor and the letters G, P, and S to your product and create the ContourGPS. It lets you not only record your extreme antics…
