By Natalie Sullivan        www.dailytexanonline.com


Two hundred ninety-eight bicycle collisions happened in Austin last year, according to statistics from the Austin Police Department, but UTPD crime prevention officer William Pieper said most bicycle accidents go unreported on campus.
Pieper said people involved in bike collisions on campus usually do not report them to UTPD.

By Keri Heath        www.austinfitmagazine.com


In recent years, mountain biking has become increasingly popular sport for active adults, and this interest has trickled down to high school kids.

The Texas League opened its first season in the state four years ago. Four races and a championship are hosted each year at locations such as Reveille Peak and Rocky Hill Ranch. While 40 percent of the league comes from teams in Central Texas (includingWestlake, Austin High, and St. Stephens), there are currently 19 teams statewide. Each year has seen a growth rate of about 55 percent.
“I was looking for a fast-paced sport that would challenge my body as well as my mind,” said Wes Figg, a…
