HOUSTON – An annual charity event nearly turned deadly for a Houston area cyclist. On Saturday, Matt Haynie was one of hundreds of cyclists participating in the American Diabetes Association’s annual Tour de Cure 100-mile bike ride.
\nThe event helps bring awareness to diabetes and raises money for research.
\nHaynie said he was 64 miles into his ride when he was hit by a silver Dodge Ram pickup truck on FM 529 just outside of Bellville. Haynie suffered numerous deep tissue injuries and …<\/p>\n

FORT WORTH, Texas (BRAIN) \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop is planning a grand opening Saturday for its new Fort Worth location, which is being operated as the bicycle component of The Trailhead Cycling and Fitness Center.

I received an email today from Cullen<\/h2>\n

I know this is a long shot, but I thought there might be an interesting angle for your website.
\nI’m an mtb rider and trail builder from Austin.
\nI visited Ireland recently and had an excellent time renting a bike from one of Ireland’s only high-end mtb rental companies– biking.ie.
\nI chatted with Leo at that shop, south of Dublin in the Wicklow mountains.
\nAnyway, he tells me that one of their employees and racers just moved to Austin. His name is Richie.
\nUnfortunately, in his first week in Austin, his bike got stolen.\u00c2\u00a0 Here are some more details:

\nHe made a police report, has been checking craigslist, all that….
\nBut, I was hoping, that because his bike is so rare in Texas (they are only distributed in the UK & Ireland), that maybe your sharper readers might spot it in Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio, etc.<\/p>\n

Stolen bike W. 6th street<\/a>
\nby Richie Enduro
\nHey guys!
\nJust moved here from from Ireland last week, I brought my Vitus sentier 275 over with me( Irish brand) looking to enjoy the local trails. After my first exploring spin on saterday night I locked my bike up beside my apartment – which is right in front of my window and right beside the front door.
\nWhen I went to go for a ride yesterday morning it was gone. Thieves had cut through the lock with what must have been an industrial enough bit of kit.
\nIt’s a 27.5 large red and black hard tail. Maxxis high roller II front- Mavic 2.4 on the back. It’s got 740mm bars and a small enough Suntour fork-120mm.
\nIve been watching Craigslist. I reported it. And I was recommended to post here by a helpful Austin rider. But if you guys could keep an eye out for my Bike that would be great, ,already missing it.
\nAny tips?<\/p>\n
