The SouthEast Texas Hike & Bike Coalition promotes safe cycling across the region, and one of our most exciting family events is coming up later this year. The 5th Annual Big Thicket Bike Tour is scheduled for Saturday. March 21, 2009.
The money that SETHBC raises from the tour will be used to expand our educational and safety programs.
We hold children’s bicycle safety rodeos throughout the Golden Triangle.
One of our most important safety principles is that everyone – adults and children – should wear a helmet at all times when riding.
Adult Registration is $30 until 2/28 and $35 thereafter, Family Registration is $75 until 2/28 and $85 thereafter

I know this report is a day or two late; however,
I spend the greater part of every day behind keyboard so when I got home on Friday I did not feel like doing any writing.
Friday’s commute was wonderful with extremely mild weather I think the morning temperature was 68° which was perfect. Thursday night I was having one of those restless nights where I really couldn’t sleep. So I wound up leaving an hour early (4:15 a.m.) which meant I’d basically owned the road from my house all the way to Texas Southern University. For the morning leg I posted a scorching one hour and 15 minute transit time this is nearly equal to my car commute in traffic it was really an amazing morning.
