Rolando Roman and Cyclocross Project 2015

By Nicole Ortega / photos Nicole Ortega and Cyclocross Project 2015        texasbikeracing.com


How do you perpetuate the growth and success of the sport you love? You teach those who might be interested at a young age. That’s the mission of Cyclocross Project 2015: to promote an active lifestyle and a lifetime interest in bike riding for kids and families.
Cyclocross Project 2015 is the brainchild of Puerto Rico native Rolando Roman, who conceived it in 2013 after Austin won the bid to host the 2015 USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships (CX Nats). He and others involved are accomplishing the project’s objectives by teaching our youth good sportsmanship, a positive attitude, and how to work as a team. Consequently, the project is backed by many bicycle advocates, race promoters, sponsors, ambassadors, parents of the children involved, and the community alike.
Rolando has always been a fitness fanatic. As a boy growing up in a small working-class town in Puerto Rico, he was left to his own devices much of the time because his parents were…

After Election Day: Looking Ahead to the 2015 Lege Session

BikeTexas

The voting is done and the results are in, and it’s a new day in Texas.
We’re headed into the 2015 legislative session with many unknowns. There will be new faces in both chambers come January, and many of those new legislators will need to be educated about people who walk and ride bikes. We’re unsure where the new Governor and Lt. Governor stand on the issues that are important to Texans who use active transportation.
One thing we are sure about: BikeTexas will be fighting for you at the legislature every day of the…

Meet BikeTexas’ Fall Intern

BikeTexas


BikeTexas is proud to introduce our fall intern, Raheleh “Haley” Kortrostami.
Haley is an accounting student at Austin Community College and started interning with us in September. In the short time she’s been with us, Haley has proven to be an invaluable asset, working hard at everything we’ve asked her to do, from hauling bikes to data entry. Haley also proved her uber-volunteer status at the Austin BikeFest, when she and her husband Payam worked hard alongside BikeTexas staff from start to finish to…

Heat and a Sinus Infection at Chappell Hill RR

The Road Less Traveled


Going into my eighth edition of Chappell Hill (I’m a veteran of this race), I already harbored feelings of anger and frustration.  In 2012 – which happened to be my 19th birthday – I caught a flat right at the winning Move of the Day. The follow vehicle was out-of-sight, and I angrily DNF’d as a result. In 2013, I flatted out in the first 12-miles, before the race even picked up speed. I chased hard after getting a wheel change, in vain. So I DNFed again…my second DNF in just as many years.
2014 would be a different – I was racing solo without teammates, but I also was fighting a bad lingering sinus infection I acquired a few weeks earlier in rainy Belgium. I knew if I had a chance of getting a top result here, I had to be smart and, more importantly, patient with my efforts. Both Texas teams Boneshaker and…

In 1999 I had a burning desire to create a web site focused on Texas bicycling. Over the years this web site has existed many people have visited. As I think of information I need to bicycle I add them to the web site.
