Several kindergarteners at Dillow Elementary School in Fort Worth school are getting the opportunity to experience the joy of two wheels. On Thursday morning, they were surprised with new bikes as part of an effort to implement the “All Kids Bike” riding program.
Well that was a memorable ride! (Cold, walking thru a water crossing in freezing cold water, legs were not fully recovered from Saturday’s 138 mile ride so I cut my route short from 100 down to 72, power meter and cadence was not reading on my head unit for the 1st 40 plus miles)
For the last 30 miles: …
I am an anti-car crash activist from Houston.
I want Houstonians to enjoy the freedom of riding in cars & transit, walking, using personal mobility devices & using low-mass, low-speed safer vehicles like bikes & scooters without today’s reasonable fear of death or dismemberment. pic.twitter.com/XQMDkPEPv5
After spending almost a week in Harlingen I drove home yesterday to a cool front passing through. It was 49 degrees when I got up and didn’t warm up beyond 54 degrees when I started my Zwift ride. Riding around Watopia proper including downtown Watopia, Fuego Flats, the Italian Villas, the Volcano, and the Fishing Village. Lead-in is 1.5 miles and 19 feet elevation gain. Full route is 17.3 miles and 331 feet climbing. A Leap Year ride. Below is a history of my previous rides on this route. Today was one of the faster rides.
I wrapped up February biking with 728.88 miles, 533.7 road miles and 195.18 Zwift miles. I exceeded my 445 road mile goal and made up 88.7 miles that I was short on my January goal.

Rentable bike share stations reopened across campus the week of Feb. 12 after a temporary suspension in December 2022. The stations were reopened through a partnership between Rice’s Campus Services and Sustainability division and Houston Bike Share.
Houston BCycle, run by the nonprofit Houston Bike Share, is reopening closed stations after Houston city officials approved $500,000 to keep the network operational. The station suspensions came from a decision to cut costs to keep the network running.
Amarillo, Texas is full of great local restaurants. Some are fancy while others are around for the ambiance and the greasy food that makes you feel good. Unfortunately, a negative review can hurt a local business especially when the business didn’t do anything wrong.
A Yelp review was recently shared on AMARILLO RESTAURANT REVIEWS… AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This review was bashing a local downtown restaurant Furrbie’s …

‘You’ve got to have a positive attitude’
It’s been over 27 years, but Andy remembers the day his wife’s mobility took a turn for the worse.
At the time, Andy and his wife, Rena, were living in Houston, about a year after their daughter, Annie, was born.
“I remember coming back to the house — we had a two story — and Annie needed changing, but the supplies were upstairs, and Rena couldn’t climb the stairs to get them. She was very upset.”
That concerning occurrence, in addition to earlier motor-control incidents and other mysterious …

The council introduced the topic during their Feb. 20 meeting at Horseshoe Bay City Hall, 1 Community Drive. “We put a bicycle lane on Horseshoe Bay Boulevard two or three years ago, and it’s been well received. It came up during the Transportation Committee’s review that there’s some…
In a win for the bicycle community, Fort Worth is moving forward with a new bike lane project coming to East 1st Street and East 4th Street, east of downtown.
The East Fourth Street/First Street Bike Lane project is significant not only because it increases bicycling options, but also because it uses a new technology that will make it safer.
One existing lane along East 4th Street/East 1st Street will become a bike lane, which will run in both directions in a 2-mile span from I-35W to Haltom Road. They’ll also build in …
WACO, Texas — For the past two years, Waco native and Chicago Bear defensive lineman Andrew Billings has had an initiative with J.H. Hines Elementary where every six weeks, two bikes are given out for each grade level (kindergarten-fifth grade) for perfect attendance, or, missing two or less days of school. It’s an incentive that Billings says starts to implement early so these kids have a bright future ahead.
BROADCAST SCRIPT
“What kid doesn’t want a bicycle?,” said J.H. Hines Principal Cynthia Wise.
This scene looks a little out of place, as you usually don’t see bikes given out until the holidays, but this giveaway is little different. …
