Day 79: No Way But The Long Way
Friday June 24, 2016, 95 km (59 miles) – Total so far: 3,286 km (2,042 miles)
On the morning of the 24th I checked and double checked my things before departing. I said my farewells, then I began to ride.
I didn’t make it very far before some noise of my chain forced me to stop. Something was wrong! I had just put a new chain on, it shouldn’t have anything wrong with it. I realized that the reason it was so noisy was that I routed it incorrectly (it was over one of the metal derailleur tabs, instead of under it). At first glance it didn’t look wrong but it was, and I had to ride back to my friend’s house and borrow some pliers to fix it.

Raspados, Bike Trails and Bike Bucks
bikehouston.org
When does opening a new snow cone shop constitute a leading economic indicator? Well, more precisely, a raspado shop, offering traditional Mexican shaved ice treats. And smoothies, too. What makes this grand opening notable? It is the first bike-thru shop on the new White Oak Bayou Hike and Bike trails, the first business in a shopping center turning its face toward the bayou trails.
Three weeks ago the Houston Chronicle wrote about the emerging multi-use trails and cycling lanes along HoustonÓ³ streets and bayous in an editorial entitled Ô‚ike Bucks.Ô Ôˆouston can …
