But with Texas A&amp;M fans going to tailgating festivities for the big game, plus numbers being doubled this week with Alabama visiting in College Station, the roads can become especially dangerous. Unfortunately drivers were delayed just before the bridge in Dobbin, when debris on the shoulder caused several riders in a group from The Woodlands to tumble. Traffic was backed up several miles in both directions.<\/p>\n<p>The accident happened at 9:34 am, when the lead two riders traveling East on 105 were downed with bumps and bruises. One rider sustained facial injuries that bloodied his face, the other with other injuries.<\/p>\n<p><code>There was some sort of debris on the road shoulder,<\/code> said one rider, who only identified himself as Wayne. &#8220;We \u2026<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox7austin.com\/video\/1292886\">Video: Breakfast Club builds community around bikes<\/a><\/h2>\n<h4>www.fox7austin.com<\/h4>\n<p>The Breakfast Club is an Austin bike club that started with four people who like to eat breakfast and hang out after Saturday morning bike rides.
