How I Spent My Rainy Tuesday Evening<\/strong><\/a>
\nfrom Biking In Dallas by Christopher Curnutt
\nNot everything I own is old or vintage, I have a modern Trek FX 7.2 which is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fitness\u00e2\u20ac\u009d bike that I have slowly converted to a urban utility bike.\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve dumped way more money …<\/p>\n

Biking in the city | The Daily Texan<\/strong><\/a>
\nI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a UT graduate myself, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve stayed in Austin because I love this town. Much of its appeal lies in the fact that Austin is such a beautiful, convenient and relatively safe place to get around by bicycle. Unfortunately, as these past few weeks remind me, some UT students are unaware of the bicycle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s growing importance here \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and a few are downright hostile. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to clarify some things about bike transportation, encourage y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122all to stay alert on our multi-use roadways and, ideally, use them in multiple ways yourselves. …<\/p>\n

\nPBA Ride Rules
\nA goal of the PBA is to increase the enjoyment of group cycling by encouraging our members to take
\nresponsibility for their own safety and the safety of their fellow riders. Here are some rules we think
\nwill help. 1. We follow the instructions of the ride leader
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 To hear the instructions, we do not wear any sort of headphones, earbuds, or other soundmaking
\ndevices
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 We do not ride \u00e2\u20ac\u0153off the front\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of the ride leader (generally out of sight or hearing)
\n– unless we have informed the ride leader, and…<\/p>\n

Back on the bike, but I have a long way to go . . . | Texas Tailwind<\/strong><\/a>
\nby Ben
\nMy cycling sabbatical is finally over. After almost 3 months, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m back on the bike. However, I have a long way to go from a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fitness\u00e2\u20ac\u009d perspective. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m actually going to do a field test soon with my power meter to see just how much fitness I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve \u00e2\u20ac\u0153lost\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m also going to stick to my Paleo\/Primal diet, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll post updates for how I adjust my diet around training and on-the-bike eating. Riding for the next few weeks won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any specific goals while…<\/p>\n
