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.

Daily News Roundup November 8th – Texas Bicycling

Texbiker.net Posted on November 8, 2010 by Rick AnkrumNovember 8, 2010

Review: LiveRider turns your iPhone into a cycling computer
from Ars Technica by eric@arstechnica.com (Eric Bangeman)

LiveRider
I’ve become a bicycling addict. Since realizing in July 2009 that bicycling is a fantastic way to get rid of the excess weight I’ve been lugging around, I’ve ridden more than I ever thought possible—always with my iPhone mounted to the handlebars. Using MotionX-GPS, I tracked every ride…

We need real bike paths for real bike transportation
by Grist Magazine
…The Katy Trail is not a trail in the woods, but a multi-use path, or, in planning-speak, a “MUP.” These paved byways are varyingly called trails, paths, rail trails, bike trails, or linear parks. The mix of terminology reflects the current confusion about what exactly they are for.

The original concept is that of the linear park — a destination in the city or suburbs where locals of all ages can go get fresh air and exercise in a natural setting. Mellow recreation…

What’s Turning the Bike Spokes on the Net November 7th

Texbiker.net Posted on November 7, 2010 by Rick AnkrumNovember 7, 2010

Hoffman: No need for expensive bikes in the MS 150
from HoustonChronicle.com — Ken Hoffman
Real bicycle people (you know, the Spandex crowd) hate when I say this, but you don’t need an expensive bike, nor do you have to be in supreme physical condition to complete the MS150. …

Today is a light news day. As the organized bike rides taper off and the weather gets cooler people move inside or stop riding until spring. I know it will not be long to when I get my windtrainer out of the closet for the temperatures below 60 degrees and I wimp out on the outside ride.
