Looking for a great mountain bike ride near Austin? Head to Pace Bend! These trails are classic Texas Hill Country riding – don’t miss Wookiee Way.

Bicycle Safety 101: How Texas Ranks in Bicycle Fatality and Commuting Rates
daltxrealestate.com
I am in one of those moods where I could blog all day long, but gotta go meet Bernadette Schaeffler for lunch. So check out this article that tells us Texas is not the worst state for bicyclists. But then, that may be because we don’t have as many bike commuters as does California, Florida, New York and the others.
