\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got Professor @egggman in today with a review of the Caliber Photochromic sunglasses from Ryders Eyewear.\u00c2\u00a0 Mike is a year round cyclist and experiences all seasons and conditions over there in Ontario, so he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sure to provide a full review on their performance.<\/p>\n

\nPlano Bicycle Association put together a group ride for the Hotter \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcn Hell 100 and I just think that the picture that Tim Elliott took over his shoulder was superb.\u00c2\u00a0 This picture was taken at approximately 70 miles into our ride.\u00c2\u00a0 I believe the final numbers were 18 started with 18 finishers!\u00c2\u00a0 We had all Century Men and Women with a finishing…<\/p>\n

\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time for another installment of the I Bike Richardson series, where we put a face on Richardson cyclists. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to introduce, Jonathan Guzman. He took the time to answer a few questions about biking. Enjoy: …<\/p>\n

\nBack in June of this year cyclists in Dallas celebrated as the Dallas City Council adopted the 2011 Bike Plan , and with ease it seemed.\u00c2\u00a0 Everyone who participated in the many planning sessions, provided feedback, contacted their council members, and provided other contributions were rewarded for their effort.\u00c2\u00a0 As as Bike…<\/p>\n

\nWhile there are many bicycle commuters in Dallas, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not often that you meet someone who uses a bicycle as their primary work vehicle.\u00c2\u00a0 Reece makes his living salvaging and recycling stuff, which is to say he finds items that seemingly\u00c2\u00a0 have no value (at least to the former owner) and then sells them to those who see the value. Coincidentally I last wrote about Reece a year ago this month; and while I often see him pedaling around…<\/p>\n

\nDavid Nowlan is used to challenges, but in April he will face his greatest test yet as he bikes across the country to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nowlan, a product line director for the Hyannis-based Dialogic, will in April embark on a 3,350-mile, five-week trek from Encinitas, California, to his home in North Falmouth, covering the entire route on his modified Cannondale R800 road bike.<\/p>\n
