\nEach morning, Richardson resident Mark Adams hops on his bike to make the trek to work \u00e2\u20ac\u201d about a 4-mile trip.
\nAs a developer for a software company, he said the 10-20 minute spurt of exercise provides a refreshing jumpstart to the day, before he sits at a desk for hours.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Biking kind of provides that time for me to focus in and organize my day and be able to think about what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going on without having to be frustrated because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sitting in traffic on [U.S. Highway] 75 for an hour,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Adams said.
\nThe city of Richardson has made efforts in the last six or seven years to weave together a network of routes for bicyclists to travel around the city, with more than 40 miles of trails and…<\/p>\n

Getting better about posting these sooner after the rides.\u00c2\u00a0 We rode Brushy Creek a week ago and despite the heat, we had a good time with only a few incidents.

\nAUSTIN — In May, hundreds in Northeast Austin celebrated the opening of a new pedestrian bridge that allows kids to safely walk to Bernice Hart Elementary.
\nThat bridge is one reason the Austin School District cut the number of school buses servicing Hart from 10 to just one.

32nd Annual Austin Moonlight Cruise SAT NIGHT<\/em>, September 7th, 1:45am<\/a><\/h2>\n

Bicycle Austin<\/h4>\n

It’s just about September, the weather is cooling (a bit, anyways), the full moon is coming, and you know what that means … it’s time to cruise in the 32nd Annual Austin Moonlight Cruise Bike Ride!
\nIf you only make one bike ride this year … make this one! (But really, if you only make one bike ride a year — you should try to get out more. But I digress …)
\nThis is the best ride of the year, bar none! This is the ride where you want to bring your tall bike, your freak bike, wear a costume, etc. There’s typically hundreds of riders of all different abilities, and the route is fixed, so don’t worry about not being able to keep up — now matter how fast you are, there will…<\/p>\n

reQwip: Local Austin site to buy\/sell bikes and outdoor equipment<\/a><\/h2>\n

Bicycle Austin<\/h4>\n

You can buy or sell a bike or triathlon equipment. The nice this is, you make the money transfer in advance so you’re not carrying cash to the hand-off site –or, even get it delivered!
\nAnyway, they’re pretty new but they already have lots of happy customers, you could be the next…<\/p>\n

\nBack in the fall of 2013 I was attempting to do something I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d never been good at\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6running. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like running and I physically couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t run further than the stop sign at the end of my street.\u00c2\u00a0 Bottom line, I was a horrible runner, but it was something that a lot of my friends were involved in.\u00c2\u00a0 All of those mud runs were popping up and it just seemed like I needed to jump on that wagon.\u00c2\u00a0 I tried running in the gym and even downloaded a couple of apps that were supposed to help you run a 5k in 9 weeks. I never made it past week 4 of the training, but I did become a decent elliptical runner at the gym.\u00c2\u00a0 I signed up for a couple of mud runs and completed an…<\/p>\n
