DFW Annual Retro Ride and Bike Show 2013 (picture heavy)
by cuda2k         www.bikeforums.net
I think the weather was too good and everyone decided to go riding instead today as the turn out was rather light considering the number of emails and inquires that Southwest Frameworks and the other individuals who put this year’s event together had. There were still some awesome bikes, some new, some I recognized from years past. I’ve started processing some of them, probably be a day or two till they’re all done (about 80 shots in all to go through in all). …

Long-awaited trails coming to four West Side creeks
By John W. Gonzalez         www.mysanantonio.com
SAN ANTONIO — While $270 million was poured into improvements on the San Antonio River, West Side residents have waited patiently for modest recreational amenities to arrive on four creeks that feed the waterway.

Today was an event I was looking forward to, the Dallas 2013 Tweed Ride.
I had what was, I guess, the bare minimum – a tweed jacket from Goodwill and a tweed cap a friend had found on Amazon. So I was ready, if only minimally so.
The ride was originally scheduled for a week ago, but had to be postponed because of the ice storm. The weather was impossible that day, but it was pretty cold today – low forties, overcast, foggy, with a wicked north wind screaming in like a wave of icy razor blades. The last tweed ride – two years ago – was on a preternaturally warm day and had a huge turnout. Today looked like the opposite. I had to think hard about whether I wanted to go. It was nasty outside and the house was warm. I had plenty to do at home.
I futzed and dutzed and prepared as best I could. I decided to ride my commuter bike, and strap on as much crap as I thought I needed onto it. One pannier was packed with…
