\nHaving the distinction of being the birthplace of Lance Armstrong, in 2013 Plano was named the most bicycle-friendly city in Texas. And as a weekend drive will show, many residents use cycling as both a recreational hobby and a means of transportation. However, recently introduced house resolution by U.S. Rep. Sam Johnson (R-TX) has some local cyclists concerned about the future of their mobility.
\nAt the beginning of the month, Johnson introduced House Resolution 2609, or the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Right-of-Way for American Drivers Act of 2015,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to …<\/p>\n

\nLike the deluge that preceded them, the questions never seem to stop flooding in for Cash Anglin.
\nAs the Dallas Off Road Bicycle Association\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Vice President of Trails, Anglin has been hit with a near-constant stream of inquiries from eager biking enthusiasts since the storms that pounded North Texas have subsided.
\nHow are the bike trails? When will they be open?

\nSeems like I just visited them, but, even so, this Flag Day Sunday seemed like a good day to visit the Indian Ghosts who haunt Arlington’s Village Creek Natural Historical Area.
\nStanding water in various locations and dirt that was dry a couple days ago had been turned back to mud, sticking to my bike tires, indicating, it would seem, that some …<\/p>\n
