3 Feet Wide Jersey available online

Texbiker.net Posted on by

Joe Mizereck, is now selling a safety yellow jersey online with a huge statement calling for 3 feet of passing space from drivers.

The battle for space between cyclists and motorists is intensifying–worldwide.  And the need for space has never been greater.  More must be done to educate motorists of the importance of sharing our roads and giving cyclists at least 3 feet of clearance when passing.

Currently, fourteen states* in the US have laws requiring motorists to give cyclists at least 3 feet of clearance when passing.  These “3 foot laws” are a good step in making our roads safer for cyclists.The challenge is educating motorists about the law and reminding them to follow the law.

Texas Tough Riders Form in Dallas

Texbiker.net Posted on by

TEXAS RIDERS is a group of friends who combine our passion for cycling (some call it an “addiction”) with fun social activities and charitable fundraising.  We get together for training and exercise rides, participate in several local rallies throughout the year and ride in charity events.

Our riders have a variety of experience levels, including cyclists who have been riding for years, casual weekend riders, and riders who are new to the sport and were inspired by the personal challenge of cycling in a major event like the MS150 or TX TOUGH.

Motocross to host mountain bikers

WHAT: Short Track Mountain Bike Race

WHEN: 6:30 p.m. Saturday

WHERE: D-Tronics Motocross Park, Valley View Road just north of Expressway 83 in Donna

COST: $20 entry fee to compete; spectators admitted for free

DONNA — Members of the Cactus Cruzers mountain biking team have the group’s motto printed on their shirts: “If you never wreck, you’re not going fast enough.”

The team seems to have taken that message to heart. Within hours of testing out the group’s new home track in Donna, one member was carted away in an ambulance.

That’s likely because the D-Tronics Motocross Park isn’t even designed for mountain bikers. With steep climbs, bumps and the opportunity to catch some air, the park originally intended for motorbikes is now an unusual home for mountain bikers.

God helped Dr. Ernest Charlesworth get back on the “tour de life.”

Struck by a car while riding his bicycle last February, Charlesworth spent 57 days in the hospital and underwent three months of physical rehabilitation.

“To me, riding a bicycle has been a metaphor for our journey through life,” said Charlesworth, 63. “We all start at Point A, and we all finish the ‘tour de life’ at Point B. It is not about how fast we go. It is about doing the best that we can as we pedal to God’s finish line.”

Five months after the incident, he tried to finish his interrupted ride.
