Last Thursday evening, I joined my cousin Joey on his longest ride ever – a 17 mile jaunt along city streets in Northwest San Antonio. This was a very special ride. You see, just a few months ago, my cousin survived his second heart attack. After completing cardiac rehabilitation, he decided to renew an old bond with his bicycle as [...]

There is something to be said for cruising on your bicycle. This evening, I did just that with my Dad near his home in Hollywood Park. We had a great time! Dad’s bike is a mighty fine 24-speed Electra Townie. It’s a sweet ride and cruising is what a Townie does best. We started the ride about 07:00pm and proceeded [...]

Jennifer is an avid mountain biker who is excited about adding road biking to her cycling experience. [...]

Greetings everyone! Cycling. Wow. The words just seem right together. For the past six months or so, cycling has become a big part of my life. It started when my wife and I purchased mountain bikes after deciding that it was time to find a healthy activity we could both enjoy. Getting on the saddle for the first time was [...]
