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.

Helmet Weight, Hurting Muscles Shortened Ride

Texbiker.net Posted on July 30, 2024 by Rick AnkrumJuly 30, 2024

Yesterday I rode Zwift as I scope out my fitness after being off the bike since Hurricane Beryl arrived. Today the plan was to ride south through Atascocita, Walden, and then back to Kingwood. Around 8 miles into the ride my neck and shoulder muscles hurt from the weight of my helmet and not riding. I continued on but when I reached Kings River Drive I shortened the route riding to Kings Park Way to head back to Kingwood. I need to condition my neck and shoulder muscles more.

Meet Austin Bicycle Meals, the Group Fighting Food Insecurity One Bike Ride at a Time

Alvin Holbrook | velo.outsideonline.com

What do you do when you love bikes and want to serve those experiencing homelessness? You start Austin Bicycle Meals.

Scroll through the Instagram account of @austinbicyclemeals and you’ll see everything you’d expect from an organization with the name ‘Austin Bicycle Meals. There are bicycles (duh), meals going to anyone that’ll use them, and they’re based in Austin, Texas. But what you wouldn’t necessarily expect to see is the smiling faces, the joy with which they do it, and the frequency of work they’re doing.

Austin Bicycle Meals is active, they’re growing, and by all accounts, they’re more effective than anyone would expect. Once just a group of two people packing up sack lunches to give to folks in …
