Rolling My Wheels To Walmart In Search Of A Fort Worth Sidewalk

by Durango Texas


Last night after the sun set for the day I was giving my aching self a salubrious hot tub soak, when pinpricks of recently frozen water began pummeling me. It felt good.
As I was being pummeled by the incoming former ice I remembered I’d forgotten to get salsa when I was at ALDI earlier that …

A Reordering of Bike Stuff

Bike Noob

The deep freeze that has spread across so much of the country has made its way down to Texas. We’ve had a few nights where the temperatures hovered around freezing, and we’re due for another tonight.

The More Things Change

by Bill Cullins        Team San Angelo

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Although I’m not going to ‘fess up about how young (or old) I am, I’ve been cycling and running for long enough to see some dramatic changes in the equipment used for these sports.
The thing that hasn’t changed, however, is that cyclists still have to push on their pedals and running still means quickly putting one foot in front of the other.
Like many other men my age, I learned to run (or to hate running) during basic training in the military.
The famous Nike waffle trainers didn’t appear on the scene until almost a decade after I completed my ‘government issue’ running lessons.
Running was also much lower-tech back then – no MapMyRun web sites, heart rate monitors, GPS watches or RunTracker apps on smart phones to post each workout on …

About Rick Ankrum

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.
