\nWe know it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not officially summer quite yet, but the way we see it, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re square in the center of prime bike riding season \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nice enough to bike around the city, but not so hot that the extra effort plasters all your hair to your face and soaks your t-shirt. But where to put your bike when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve reached your destination? If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re lucky, you can cozy it up to one of these wild and colorful bike racks, which nearly all double as public art in their respective cities. After all, why…<\/p>\n

\nThe BikeDFW\/Bike Friendly Richardson Bike To Work Day Energizer Station was a great success! We had about 2 dozen bike commuters stop by to recharge for their ride to work \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and we think we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve motivated dozens of other commuters to think about biking. Here are some pics. Click here to see all of them.

\nI found Mellow Johnny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bike and coffee shop on 4th street. It is a huge bike shop that sell Trek, Giant and other urban type of bikes. They also have daily rentals.

\nFrom what I can tell from observation their customer service is excellent. They are one of the few shops that perform actual bike fits and instruct new cyclists on proper posture and leg position. The rest rooms are actually showers with lockers, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s impressive. …<\/p>\n

\nThat crazy guy and his family are at it again. Methow Valley residents Rob Seckinger, Ina Clark and their two kids, Maya, 13, and Wiley, 11, took off this week on another epic bicycle journey.

They plan to ride \u00e2\u20ac\u201d each on their own mountain bike \u00e2\u20ac\u201d north along the Continental Divide to Banff, Alberta. They didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get off to a great start, Seckinger wrote on his blog. One of the bikes…<\/p>\n

\nThe 6th Annual 24 hours in the Canyon invites you to join their upcoming ride happening on June 2-3, 2012 at Palo Duro State Park – Canyon, TX
\nWe were lucky enough to be granted an interview with Ryan Parnell, Event Director of 24 hours in the Canyon to ask some questions about their upcoming ride.
