Our First Trail Cleanup Day Was A Success

Bike Friendly Richardson        bikefriendlyrichardson.org


Richardson continues to impress us with their network of great bike and pedestrian access routes throughout the city. As part of that, we have some really nice multi-purpose trails. However, over time and through excessive usage, they have’ve gotten covered in litter, animal waste and broken glass. Instead of complaining about the mess, Bike Friendly Richardson decided …

Houston Will Get Its First Bicycle Master Plan in 20 Years

By Michael Barajas        blogs.houstonpress.com


While the death of Chelsea Norman — hit by a driver in Montrose while biking home from her Whole Foods job and left to die in the street — helped raise awareness about the pitiful state of bike safety in Houston, bicyclists keep getting hit by cars here. At least eight have been struck and killed since Norman’s December 2013 crash, according to local advocates.
When it comes to large cities, Houston’s still at the bottom of the pack when it comes to being bike friendly, says Michael Payne, executive director with BikeHouston. “Houston is in bottom quartile compared to our peer group, in terms of investment and in terms of …

I guess I am a real cold weather wimp compared to Mr. Cunningham! I have trouble with 59 degrees and he bikes in -10 degrees. He rides a fat bike.

Bicycling commuter not stopped by cold, snow

CARRIE COCHRAN, The Cincinnati Enquirer        www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com


MADEIRA, Ohio – When Fraser Cunningham stepped outside of his Madeira home Friday morning, it was still dark.
It was darn cold, too. His Garmin told him it was minus 10 degrees.
And, just like he’s been doing every single morning at 5:30 for more than 18 months, the 56-year-old GE engineer hopped on his bicycle and rode to work.
It was so cold, that his eyes literally froze open during the trek.
“It’s better than freezing shut,” he said.
Cunningham hadn’t missed a day commuting by bicycle since July 22, 2013. Hoping …

Ray Porter Memorial Race – 6 Hours at Tyler

Logan DeBorde        www.logandeborde.com


The best race of the year… Hands down!
It may not be the most flashy, have huge payouts or many categories but it’s the best race you’ll do in Texas all year. This race is put on by the Big Pig Cancer Foundation, a local charity dedicated to helping cyclists stricken by Cancer in Texas. It’s 6 hours in benefit of the charity on the flowy, rooty and climby trails at Tyler State Park.
The Big Pigs put on a first class event with the highlight being the 6 switchbacks up the “Stairway to Bacon” where they cheer you on and give you bacon at the top! The rest of the trail is strewn with motivating signs from race team members and the …

Driveway Tinkering

Andaroo Willis        www.andaroowillis.com

I finished up the Driveway Series paperwork last week and submitted everything to USA Cycling. Now we’re just waiting on their final approvals. I’m looking forward to starting the races back up in a couple of weeks!
In the meantime I’ve been updating the new drivewayseries.com site. If you go there now, you should end up on a landing page, but you may also get an error message as I transferred the domain over to the new site this morning.
I don’t really understand name servers and DNS records. These were the items I had to update to tell the internet that drivewayseries.com now …
