By Teresa Gubbins | sanantonio.culturemap.com

A new survey on bikeability ranks San Antonio No. 30 in a list of the top 50 cities in the U.S.

San Antonio has a bikeability score of 45. It has 0.2 percent of workers who commute by bicycle compared to the average city’s 0.5 percent, with 0.7 bike shops per 100,000 people and 0.8 percent bike trails per 100,000 people.

He was proud to have an unbroken 37-year record of participating in the annual "Hotter than Hell 100" August ride in Wichita Falls, Texas. A lifelong copywriter, he loved any and all word games and puzzles, especially his beloved New York Times crossword.

Jack kept his cheery disposition right up to his last days. He always …
