Bicyclists face hazards
Riding a bicycle in the D-FW area is harmful to your health! I have ridden a bike from the Pleasant Grove area to downtown Dallas and back several times. Each time I had to suck up the fumes from the exhausts of many vehicles and got run off the road several times. Once I got run off the road by my next-door neighbor, who told me that bikes shouldn’t be on the streets. The Texas attitude about cars and trucks is why public transportation does not do well in Texas. That is also the reason that biking won’t do well. If we have more bicycles on the road for any reason, we will suffer more deaths and injuries to the riders.

Mountain Biking Gateway Park Blocked By Piles Of Brush Before Finding Elsie Hotpepper At The Tandy Hills Prairie Fest
Durango Texas
I think it has been a couple weeks since I last rolled my bike’s wheels on the Gateway Park mountain bike trails.
A couple weeks and today I found that piles of brush are still piled up, blocking the trail, the sidewalk, and spilling over on to the road.
When I started pedaling today I was quickly annoyed by a metallic rattling noise that sounded like…
