When people ask you why we need bike infrastructure, show them this. People in the @CityofMcAllen, across the RGV/state, love to ride their bikes. We ride for recreation, commuting, etc… Regardless of the reason we need safe and secure places to ride. @TxDOT @HCMPO @BikeTexas pic.twitter.com/yHO6OOwaOA

No derailer I've learned to use a 42 front and 15 back while climbing and standing , it's fun and provides alot of power on the climb .jumping on my peddle(but the trick is) then pulling thru on the spin.keeping momentum. pic.twitter.com/iHAHWM1rGn
