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.

Cycling through the Hill Country

Texbiker.net Posted on October 17, 2006 by Rick AnkrumOctober 17, 2006

Every October, hundreds of cyclists gather at for the Texas Hill Country River Region Bicycle Classic.

“This is my second year doing it. It’s a lot of fun. [I] did the 52 last year, going to do the 52 again this year. The hills are great. The scenery is awesome. Their descents are fun, get up to 50 mph screaming downhill, and you got the pain of going 5 mph going up hill,” cyclist Ron Cook said.

There are four routes available. People looking for a tough ride can ride the 52-mile Challenge or the 100-mile Century. Both have river passes and elevation changes through some of the most scenic Hill Country in Texas.

Debate over bike helmets heats up again for Austin riders

Texbiker.net Posted on October 15, 2006 by Rick AnkrumOctober 15, 2006

The debate over whether to require Austin bicyclists to wear helmets is being revived.

Mayor Will Wynn and local medical leaders announced Wednesday that Brackenridge Hospital and St. David’s HealthCare will conduct a yearlong study on head injuries from bike accidents starting Nov. 1.

They’ll report the findings to the City Council, which considered an ordinance to require bike-helmet use in August but never voted on it. The idea drew staunch opposition from some cyclists.
