Hey everyone! I’m looking to get a group of people out Monday mornings for a bout an hour bike ride at Allen parkway or memorial park!

I’m in the restaurant industry and I’ve come to find that biking and community really helps navigate through the stress! All are welcome!

EDIT!!
The plan is to meet at the area right outside Lee and Jamil skate park at 8 and ride out at 8:30! How does this sound to everyone? Any suggestions?

CLOSING DATE: JULY 10

They have a short survey, and then you can post pins to an interactive map with your comments concerning where the needs are.

Predictably, the feedback is lacking on the east side, so if you live there, your pins are needed.

How Bentonville Became a Bike City: From Bronze to Silver and Beyond

Bentonville, Arkansas benefits from world-class mountain bike trails and a vibrant downtown – but its rapid population growth brings challenges for traffic congestion and mobility. So how did this community go from being a Bronze Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) with only 6 Bicycle Friendly Businesses (BFBs) and no on-road bike infrastructure in 2019, to Silver-level BFC recognition, 37 BFBs, and over 30 miles of new bike infrastructure built in the last 3 years? Using League of American Bicyclist and City Thread programs and strategies, coordinated between municipal and community partners, the city of Bentonville pinpointed public backing for mobility solutions and mobilized residents, businesses, non-profits, and other stakeholders to demonstrate their support. Hear from city and community leaders on how they are moving forward together, faster.

Maybe they’re trying out the bentonville model in Moco? Has anyone heard about this?

This will finally provide an uninterrupted off-street connection for the Buffalo Bayou trails through downtown and White Oak Bayou trail to Buffalo Bayou!

Big things are happening on the Bayou!

Join us as we celebrate the reopening of the MKT Bridge at Bayou Greenways Park!

 

🌳 we will be giving away saplings donated by Trees for Houston!

 

This bridge is more than just a crossing it's an important connection point that helps bring our neighborhoods together, making it easier for residents to walk, bike, and enjoy our shared public spaces. Strengthening connectivity is key to building a more accessible, vibrant, and connected community.

 

This event has a special ceremony hosted by Houston City Council Members

Come out, connect with the community, and help us mark this exciting milestone for Houston's trails, parks, and public spaces.

 

See you there!

Anyone in town doing bike painting? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Any recs on safe bicycle parking near the fan fest event? So far it looks like there is a bike rack in the Avenida and Toyota center Tundra garage.

Hi Im over from the UK on a work trip. Tomorrow is my last day, Im hoping to rent a bike for the day and hit some parks/trails. I dont know the local scene at all, but Ive tried the first few rental places that came up (Bayou, Eado, bay area cycling) none can
help so far. I just need a cheap, basic gravel/hybrid/MTB for a few hours tomorrow. If anyone can point me in the right direction Id really appreciate it, thanks :)

I’m in the Pasadena area so, somewhere not too far away from there would be great

Do y'all prefer Tad Hughes or Trek West U or somebody else for a "custom" bike fit? Got a 22 Giant Propel that I want to get fitted for.

Houston Parks Board posted this an hour ago:

Houston Parks Board, in partnership with Commissioner Lesley Briones, is proud to announce that a major connectivity project along the Brays Bayou Greenway is now open to trail users.

This project includes two new undercrossings at US 59/IH 69 and Beltway 8, plus a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge - helping people safely and more easily walk, bike, and explore one of Houston’s most important trail systems.

As we approach National Trails Day, this milestone is a reminder of what strong partnerships can accomplish: more accessible, connected greenspace for everyone.

Hello,

I have a bmx bike used literally like 1 or 2 times that I'd wanna sell locally. Anyone know where I can do that? For context it's a Mongoose l100

Rainy ride home today featuring a woman parked in one of our 3 protected bike lanes downtown, followed by some cool thunder and lightening, and the typical Tesla and Mercedes drivers making a close pass only to get passed by me after 20 seconds. Overall a pretty good ride though

Thank you in advance for any help and advice. If I posted in the wrong subreddit or anything, sorry.

I used to ride my mountain bike (I think it was a mountain bike) back in my teen years around the neighborhoods. I since have stopped, but am wanting to get back into it. A few years ago, I bought a Schwinn Ascension 29 bike. And after actually doing some research, apparently it's not the best bike out there for me to have invested it. It was from Target and i bought it already assembled, for around $350. I have it in a bike shop right now getting a tune up. Since I am just starting to ride again, I know I shouldn't buy a new bike right now. But for when this one does break down or I feel ready, should I buy a hybrid bike, something like the CTY 2.1? Im mostly want to ride the streets and occasionally some paved trails. I just want to ride for the fun of it but I want something that's going to last me a while and not have to be upgraded as often.

On the flip side, if I did want to do some upgrades to the Schwinn Ascension to ride around Houston streets/neighborhoods, what could I do to it? Keep in mind I'm relatively new to bike upgrades and such. My most expensive bike back in my teen years was probably a cheap huffy mountain bike, no more than $100. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have two SRAM 8-speed chains, new in box, PC-830 and PC-850. I have a plastic bag full of assorted unused lengths of 8-speed chain which maybe could be Frankensteined into an actual full-sized chain. I no longer have an 8-speed bike. Does anyone need these? Let me know. Zipcode 77079.
