One stretch of trail runs near the intersections of FM 270, FM 518 and FM 2094. The path was once part of a proposed road project.

Bike Month? Celebrate The Bike All Year Long!
by djcurtin            It’s Time To Ride!
It’s been a pretty nice Bike Month thus far. As we look to the end of May, we start to wonder, how can we keep it going? It’s somewhat easy for a bike shop to be all about bikes, all the time. But how can we encourage everyone to celebrate Bike Month every month? Talking with our friends over at BikeCaffe Austin, they had some thoughts that we’d like to share–guest blogging this week, BikeCaffe’s Jerry Strickland.
