Bicyclist comments concern readers, riders<\/strong><\/span>
\nfrom www.yourhoustonnews.com
\nTo the editor:
\nI was disturbed when I read the letter from Blake Brown concerning bicyclists on the roadways. This letter contained open threats that run counter to the laws of the state of Texas.<\/p>\n

I suggest Brown read the Texas Transportation Code as it applies to bicycles and he will find that bicyclists have every right to use the Texas roadways and to enjoy a safe passage in doing so. A bicyclist does not have to ride on a shoulder if there is none, but that does not mean the bicyclist cannot ride on the roadway. A bicyclist should expect… More<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\nWith last week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s criterium getting cancelled due to lightning and rain, I was ready and motivated to race hard this week!<\/p>\n

The weatherman was threatening rain all morning, but I prayed hard to the cycling Gods that we could race.\u00c2\u00a0 Evidently it worked, and the only offering I gave up was pounds of sweat, as the heat index was over 105 degrees F.\u00c2\u00a0 In the P123 field, there were about 30 guys, with a great group of Shamas cheering Jon and I on.\u00c2\u00a0 …More<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
