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.

Shaped By Running: A Quarter Centry Old
by Ulyana
It’s nasty hot right now here in Texas. Surprisingly, though, I ran about 8 min pace on rolling hills in this gross heat and was pretty happy with how good I felt. It was a short run – just 2 miles – but that doesn’t make me any less … Later in the day, I visited a friend of mine to borrow her bike. The bike fits well. It does need a serious tune-up (the break on the back wheel doesn’t work at all), and I’m thinking of changing the mountain bike tires to road slicks …
