I just got a confirmation from the Friends of the Santa Fe Trail!
I’ll be up there on August 31 around 7 p.m. taking photos!
How exciting! This is such a big deal for biking in Dallas. I …

As I drove down Garland Rd. past White Rock Lake this morning in front of the 7-11 there by the Spillway, I saw this sign:

It’s true. It’s not some sick joke. It really is about to cool off. Manana? No. Tomorrow it will be 105 degrees F. You’ll need to bring any paper products indoors, because that is the temperature …

It’s nice to know that both the City of Dallas and the State of Texas responded to input from the bicycling community regarding where to put the trail crossing at Northwest Highway (Loop 12) and Lawther Dr. …

Good news!
I have been wondering about the status of these trails, bridges, etc., and this morning’s Sunday Edition of the Dallas Morning News provided some input. It’s looking like we’re closer and closer to linking up …

First of all, I think that most people would be surprised that you can put a Schwinn trike in the back of a Scion xB. All you have to do is lower the handlebars:

I know …

Last night I repacked the rear wheel bearings on my Fuji road bike restoration project. I had never repacked loose bearings on any bike, much less any road bike. So I was very careful. Even though …

Or: another freaking Schwinn. I saw this on CL last night and the guy wanted $50 for it. I thought that it might make a nice matched pair for my (very) recently posted 1973 Schwinn Speedster.
