Houston: MapMyRide courses in Terry Hershey & George Bush Parks
by: the sci guy

I also have no idea how to share them with you publicly. They’ll show up on your routes, hopefully. Anyone know?…

Longer Rides and Such
RGV Cycling
I bought my 2013 Roubaix for one thing and one thing only, to do longer rides. So far I’ve done two 40-mile charity events and one metric century charity event in Corpus Christi. Besides the charity events there are the training rides of 30 and 40 plus miles leading up the events. I love cycling on the Roubaix. It’s nice and smooth, quiet, love the double tap shifter and after the bike fit, it just fits perfectly. The Richie handlebars is also a great addition to the bike. It has just enough backward sweep that my…

After generations of being neglected in the United States, protected bike lanes have spread rapidly around the country in the last three years – to Atlanta, to Long Beach, to Lincoln, Neb.
But 43 percent of the growth since early 2012 has come from just six cities: Austin, Chicago, Memphis, Portland, San Francisco and Washington, the ones selected two years ago as focus cities for the first round of the PeopleForBikes Green Lane Project.
Starting Friday, the Green Lane Project, a nonprofit program that…
