Crazy Cat Cyclery Now Giant Store
by Bicycle Retailer
During the build-out of his new Giant Brand Store in El Paso, Texas, Crazy Cat Cyclery owner Roberto Barrio said, “I’m a really good bike guy, but I’m not a very good merchandising guy. I learned so much from Giant about how to layout a store.â€
On January 22 and 23, Barrio and his staff celebrated the grand opening of his third—and largest—Crazy Cat Cyclery. Hundreds of regular patrons and new customers turned out for a kick-off party, group rides, raffle giveaways, a barbecue, and stunt-show performances by Giant pro and urban freeride legend Jeff Lenosky (see video on front page). …

by Olivia
But I was so sore from that bike ride, plus lifting weights which I haven’t done in a while. So, I’ll be running when I get home tonight and getting on my spinning bike for 30 minutes….Actually, depending on if the sun is still out, I might run and bike outside!! That would make me uber happy! Oh, and I’m on my 5th bottle of water, as we speak. So, I’m sure I can get up to 6. And then, after this great day, … Houston, Texas, United States.

I finished the ride with some old Texas Wheels friends, always worth the ride. Posted by J. Gregory Shugart at 6:26 AM …
Whitney Schultz: First Race Weekend of 2010
by Whitney
School is now well underway and now racing is too! This weekend was the kick off to the 2010 racing season. The first was in Belterra, a community just southwest of Austin. The course was “L” shaped with small hills on either end of the L with a U-turn at the top. For those that haven’t figured it out, I’m racing for Metro again this season. We did well attacking one after the other until a break that was good for us was formed- Saturday it ended up being Lauren with Kelly Benjamin from Colavita. I just sat at or near the front and covered moves with Jen. Once the break was more than…

by Austinist
There is a new place to hike and bike in town! In 1998, Austin voters approved bonds to buy water protection land. On Friday, February 5th, thanks to 4,000 hours of help from volunteers (including the Austin Ridge Riders), the City of Austin Water Utility Department agreed to share a one-foot wide strip on their 700 acres. To the right, Britt Jones, the employee who managed the project, cuts one of four orange ribbons. This is the first of what the Water Utility Department hopes will be many opportunities to share access with the public. …
