Worth is fairly easy if you go by car but, if by foot or bicycle &#8212; not so much. And it&#8217;s especially tough when inside the LBJ Freeway\/I-20 loop because there are few dedicated bike lanes (OK, make that zero bike lanes) and limited walking paths outside parks and greenbelts. If you&#8217;re wanting to find a pedistrian-friendly stretch of road more than a 1\/2 mile without a stop sign or light &#8211; forget about it, there just isn&#8217;t one. That&#8217;s why endurance bicyclists and runners alike seek the roads of less-urbanized towns outside the concrete jungle. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bike-tour organizer does it all for fun by OCRegister Sheff organizes about two tours a year, an 80-person tour that has traveled to Texas and Arizona in recent years.
