The San Antonio River Authority is revving up for the summer and encouraging locals to have some outdoor adventure by exploring bike trails across Bexar, Wilson, Goliad and Karnes Counties.<\/p>\n

Rapper, burger businessman and beloved Houston institution Bun B took the stage at the third annual Art Bike Parade and Festival at MacGregor Park and looked up at the sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not hot,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not raining . . . yet. You know Houston: We can get three seasons in one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the rain held off Saturday, and the event pulled in a strong crowd of people and their customized bicycles on a pleasant mid-May day. \u2026<\/p>\n

More than 40 cyclists hit the road to honor a life taken too soon.<\/p>\n

They rode over a mile to honor 8-year-old Caleb Ramirez, who died in April while riding his bike after he was hit by a driver.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor, it\u2019s an honor, extremely grateful for all the support the community has given,\u201d Caleb\u2019s mother, Sonia Hernandez said.<\/p>\n

The cyclists ended their ride on East Eller Avenue, where Caleb was hit by a truck right in front of his home in Pharr.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an emptiness and numbness,\u201d Hernandez said.<\/p>\n

Hernandez is feeling hollow as she heads into her first Mother\u2019s Day without her 8-year-old son. \u2026<\/p>\n
