20 Mountain Bikers Went

Based on the theory that women learn new skills differently from men, these rides are designated as “for women only”.The concept is simple:  the “girls” meet at local bike trails for group rides and mountain biking skills instruction.  Riders break into small groups based on ability and then hit the trail.  After the ride, the ladies regroup for a…

City council Meeting

West Texas Cycling Association

Date: June 11, 2015
Location: Lubbock, TX
Contact:
Details: There will be a City Council meeting on Thursday, June 11 @ 5:15 pm. One of the meeting topics will address the budget line item for updating and improving the Master Bicycle Plan (MBP). The Lubbock Board of Health will have a presentation in support of the MBP, and we were encouraged by Wood Franklin, the Director of Public Works, to come to the meeting so the City Council Members know there is a lot of support for this plan. Please wear a bicycle jersey so that we stand out as a group. So many times in the past, the bicycle community has started an impassioned push for infrastructure improvements in the city, but have lost enthusiasm through the slow process of government. If you cannot attend the council meeting on …

by joeyTWOwheels        texascx.com

108 days until the first race of the #TXCX season!
We.

Stoked.

So let’s get into this before the sweat hits the keyboard.
15. Nobody will be at the first race
OK, some people will go. But starting early means that those die-hard road racers will be vying for the coveted prize of best fast guy/gal in the state on skinny wheels that weekend at Ft. Hood. Unless, of course, they are ready for something …

New Facilities, New Connections!

bikeabledallas.com


I was out of town most of last week and while I was gone, the striping crew went to town on installing shared lane markings.
(I know everyone is clamoring for more actual bike lanes. We have a slew of those in the works, but they take more time to clear all the political and policy hurdles we must contend with. So hang in there, it’s coming.)
Here’s a map of all the new (and existing) bicycle facilities in the Uptown/Knox/East Dallas area (click on map for larger image). Many of the new facilities are intended to provide linkages to the trail network– in this case, the …
