There are plenty of “trails” for someone to ride a bicycle in Beaumont.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, said local cycling enthusiast Eric Bender, they call the trails “streets.”<\/p>\n
“First of all, there are potholes everywhere and they just aren’t a good place to ride,” said Bender, owner of a bike shop on the Interstate 10\/Eastex Freeway split. “Then, you have the traffic.”<\/p>\n
Combined, those factors make Beaumont far from an ideal place to ride, although there are dedicated enough local cyclists to give it a try.<\/p>\n
Groups of riders meet at various locations four times a week to ride together through some of roads less traveled in the Beaumont area and\/or highways that have wide enough shoulders for bike riders to co-exist with traffic.<\/p>\n
