By TINEY RICCIARDI            PegasusNews.com

A colorful crowd of 20-somethings gathers round a picnic table, each with a freshly poured pint. They toast to a beautiful weekend afternoon and savor the flavor of a hoppy local brew. Their next one lies nearly two miles down the road.

Before 2012, just one or two breweries existed in North Texas. Today, Dallas is a boomtown for craft beer, with more than 10 independent establishments.

A new way to enjoy craft beer is to take a bus or bike to several…

Waco Race 2013 Team Report

Richard kicked things off early in the cat. 2 35-39 race. His race would be 3 laps of the full 5.5 mile course. This was a bit of a departure from the normal structure of a 2 lap race for cat. 2 racers, but feedback on the format was generally positive. After a slow start left him entering the…

Women on Bikes Mean Business: Heading to DC
by Elly                takingthelane.com
Despite years of immersion in all things bicycle, I have yet to partake in the annual circus known as the National Bike Summit.

This year, that’s changing. Next week I head out to DC, a trail of giant carbon footprints in my wake, to join the fun. The NBS is a festival of wonkery, consisting of wonky panel sessions and keynote talks by the biggest wonks in advocacy, and followed by everyone splitting up and laying out the wonk for their congressional leaders.

This year the summit’s theme is “Bikes Mean Business,” which I expected meant the whole thing would focus on making the business case for bicycling. Based on a look at the program also…
