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.

Iris Dimmick | therivardreport.com

This time last year, Samantha Flores was in a coma. When she woke up days later, she wasn’t sure if she’d ever ride a bike again after a hit-and-run left her in the hospital with critical injuries. But on Friday, Flores led a group of about 30 cyclists on a 9-mile route from the location of the hit-and-run south toward downtown.

She organized the ride and festival, called “Cyclist Lives Matter,” to promote traffic safety, memorialize cyclists that have lost their lives on the road, and bring attention to a …

Frisco’s new Hike and Bike Master Plan advocates for more on-street bicycle lanes, routes

By Lindsey Juarez Monsivais | communityimpact.com

Frisco’s newly updated Hike and Bike Master Plan could pave the way for more on-street bicycle lanes and routes.

The new Hike and Bike Master Plan adds more proposed bike lanes and routes throughout the city in an effort to create better connectivity to Frisco’s existing trail network.

These changes will likely not happen immediately. Most new trails will happen in conjunction with new development, …
