When we moved to Houston we had no idea it would be a decent bicycling town. The mixed use paths along the bayous, bike lanes from the Heights into Downtown, largest MS 150 bike ride in country, critical mass, yep not bad. Join us as we discover Space City's bicycle culture with candid bike shop reviews, discussions of bike routes, and issues effecting Houston's bike community.CyclingSpaceCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16802557127675160689noreply@blogger.comBlogger87125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322033785733249889.post-80846103729143750712022-02-27T16:20:00.000-08:002022-02-27T16:20:15.281-08:00Rockstar Energy Bike Park<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Clearly Harvey knocked me for a loop and I haven't been posting since but here are some pictured of the Rockstar Energy Bike Park. When we went it wasn't corporate sponsored I don't think. Really nice park though. It features a BMX race track that we couldn't access and then there are concrete bowls, pump tracks, flatland space, etc. Pretty much everything a bmx'er would want. here is the web site for more info <a href="https://northhoustonsportcomplex.com/" target="_blank">https://northhoustonsportcomplex.com/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Unfortunately this tool no longer seems to be effective. The Army Corps of Engineers is strengthening the dam and moving the current water gate and this looks to have effected the USGS sensors in the dam. From September through November 2016 the USGS wasn't even providing text updates. The service has resumed but the park was flooded this morning at just over 82'. In the past the park was always passable up to 84'. So I am thinking I may need to change my SMS alert to anytime the water level is above 80'. I'll keep playing with it and please let me know what you are finding<br />

Today's June 18th <a href="http://cyclingspacecity.blogspot.com/2015/05/update-tool-when-george-bush-park.html?_sm_au_=iqVTjQJTDrRBZq0q" target="_blank"><b>email alert</b></a> from the USGS has the Barker reservoir at 90.87 feet and it needs to get to 84' to be passable. In the past when the park has flooded it seemed like the park lost about .50-.75" of water per day. If that is true we are six to eight days from being able to ride through the park again. If we get no more rain- please please please!<br />

I decided to check out the park and see what it looked like after being under water for two months. Below are the pictures of my ride. I entered the park from the FFPS soccer fields on the West side of the park. I've never seen it this flooded and, unless a lot water is let out from the reservoir, I have a hard time seeing the path clear for weeks. Again, everything is conditional on NO MORE RAIN!<br />

The next training session is this Saturday May 21st Noon to 3:00 PM. You can get the details from their <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/548390088699402/" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a></b> which gets updated more than their web site. They provide the instructor and bike you just need to bring your enthusiasm and bike gear. At $20 this course is a bargain.<br />
<br />
Ever since I first saw velodrome racing in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics I have wanted to try pedaling on the banked oval and was able to check this off the bucket-list a couple years back. My course was designed to run Tuesday & Thursday evenings over two weeks. We had rain delays and dates got moved around. By the end of the sessions our group of maybe 30 had whittled down to 6 graduates. I haven't raced since but am happy to say I gave it a try and completed the training. Some advice:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Get ready to ride. There wasn't a lot of time spent getting to know you or chit-chatting. It was hi see that line? Stay above it. Enter the track here and exit there. Now get on your bike. We went around the warm up circle in the middle of the track a few times (my first time ever riding fixed gear) and then we were on track. It was a little unnerving.</li>
<li>Relax. After each session my forearms were killing me. I was squeezing the handlebars so tight because riding fixed geared, no brakes, on a bank was such a strange feeling. When I finally relaxed and enjoyed the experience my arms and hands eased up.</li>
<li>I would recommend bringing your own pedals. When I did the training I was too lazy to take the pedals off my road bike and used the old school pedals that were on my loaner bike and wore my running shoes. Trying to get my foot into the clips on a fixed geared bike I couldn't coast was hard. For a couple sessions the clips I had were really old and laid smashed against the pedals making it impossible to slip my foot in. I was already the slowest Fred (damn straight I wore my mountain bike helmet) out there and hearing the instructor yell at me to "get in the clips" didn't help.</li>
</ul>

<span style="line-height: 1.7em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have skipped this event the last couple years but am going to make it a priority this year. My concern always around this time of year, and what has stopped me from joining this event in the past, is lightning. I don't mind riding in rain, sometimes it draws out some boyhood fun, but I'm not looking to get zapped. Also George Bush Park is flooded and will probably stay that way for a few more weeks meaning I have to ride around the park and deal with more cagers. Usually in the morning if I leave early enough it is fine, but the evening sometimes can be a bit of a hassle. Hope to see you out there on your bikes.</span></span>CyclingSpaceCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16802557127675160689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322033785733249889.post-18403201648337983862016-04-06T13:26:00.000-07:002016-04-06T13:26:32.089-07:00MS-150 Packet Picked Up & Ready To Roll April 16 & 17Packet<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />Went to Memorial Park and got my rider packet for next weekends <a href="http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/TXHBikeEvents?pg=entry&fr_id=27003" target="_blank">MS-150 ride</a>. This year with Houston's petroeconomy in the tank raising the required $400 minimum was much harder. I also heard ridership will be down to about 11,000 riders. I''m looking forward to seeing if I notice a difference on the roads with less riders. Also with the Waller County Sheriff announcing his deputies won't support the ride, and his new<a href="http://cyclingspacecity.blogspot.com/2016/03/sheriff-hands-out-tickets-at-bluebonnet.html?_sm_au_=iNVSM0qBW74WsQ6P" target="_blank"> zeal for ticketing cyclists</a>, it could make that part of day 1 interesting. I'm not going to mention his penchant for <a href="http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/katy/news/article/8-guns-stolen-after-Waller-County-sheriff-s-6683079.php" target="_blank">losing machine guns</a> or the very tragic death of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Sandra_Bland" target="_blank">Sandra Bland</a> in his jail.<div>

Inspections are free until April 8th at all official <a href="http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?fr_id=27003&pg=informational&sid=13228" target="_blank">MS 150 Bike Shops</a>. After April 8th the inspections are $15. Once your bike passes inspection they will put a sticker on your stem and the sticker entitles you to free labor on any repairs you may need during the ride. Last year I didn't get an inspection and when the cleat came off my shoe a guy working a repair booth screwed it back in at no charge. So I'm not sure how important the sticker is, but if you have some free time, why not get the bike looked at for free?<br />

Yesterday I got my inspection at the shop where I bought my bike <a href="http://bikeroutesugarland.com/" target="_blank">The Bike Route</a> in Sugarland. When I dropped it off I told them the derailleur was missing every once in a while when shifting and they went ahead and fixed it. I have to admit I cringed a bit when paying $15 for them to tighten a cable I could have done myself. But after riding today, my bike is so damn quiet and smooth, I would say it purrs but that's too loud. It feels like a brand new bike again. Greg at Bike Route does some damn good work and sometimes you do get what you pay for! So get your inspection and hopefully enjoy a smooth ride.CyclingSpaceCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16802557127675160689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322033785733249889.post-6493105559700846002016-03-27T08:24:00.000-07:002016-03-27T08:24:27.658-07:00Grand Parkway Ride PicturesA friend passed along these photos of last weekends <a href="http://www.thegrandparkwayride.com/" target="_blank">Grand Parkway Ride</a>.

This is one of the most popular BPMS 150 <a href="http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?fr_id=27003&pg=informational&sid=13477" target="_blank">recommended rides</a> and hosts over a thousand riders. Unfortunately the Waller County Sheriff decided to brag on their<a href="https://www.facebook.com/wallercountysheriff/" target="_blank"> Facebook</a> page about issuing 25-30 tickets. As a percentage of riders the ticket count is pretty low. What I don't like is the the Waller Sheriff Office has decided to boast about writing tickets and basically play into the car vs bike tensions. The comments on the page are dismal as expected. This is how public officials are supposed to behave?<br />

The weather isn't blazing hot and humid and there are a bunch of organized rides leading up to the largest charity bike ride in the USA the- <b><a href="http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/TXHBikeEvents?pg=entry&fr_id=27003" target="_blank">MS 150</a>, </b>including the<b> <a href="https://www.bikereg.com/29360" target="_blank">Bluebonnet Express</a> </b>and the<b> <a href="http://www.houstontx.gov/tourdehouston/index2.html" target="_blank">Tour De Houston</a>. </b>Bluebonnet Express is a really well organized ride run by the <a href="http://nwcc.bike/" target="_blank"><b>Northwest Cycling Club</b></a> and the Tour De Houston is nice because the route changes yearly and allows for seeing areas of Houston from the perspective of your bike you may not otherwise see. But I am really excited about the <a href="http://www.thegrandparkwayride.com/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Grand Parkway Ride</a><b>. </b>This March 19th the new Grand Parkway Freeway will be closed to car traffic on a <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">12.5 mile section between Hwy 59 and I45</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">.

I'm sure they were talking about the newly released draft of the <a href="http://houstonbikeplan.org/draft-plan" target="_blank"><b>Houston Bike Plan</b> </a>and the new mayor stating he wanted to make Houston a more bike friendly city. The release of the plan has generated a good amount of publicity. <b><a href="https://bikehouston.org/" target="_blank">Bike Houston</a></b> had their annual meeting last night and the release of the draft was a major part of the agenda. You can read more at the following links:<br />

But starting with a soft launch this Wednesday November 18th <a href="http://visitbicycleworld.com/" target="_blank">Bicycle World</a> is opening a new full service bike shop on the I-10 Freeway in the strip mall next to Main Event & Guitar Center. If they keep the customer service of their small express store then Katy will finally have a top flight local bike shop.<br />

I honestly couldn't get his enthusiasm for taking your road bike and pounding it through the forest. But now I get the appeal in particular in a place like Houston where we ride miles and miles of flat roads. The switch to going over a course that changes from pavement, to grass, to sand, to running over barriers sounds like fun. And now there is easy access to specialized bikes just for cyclocross. What more $$ to spend on bikes? Shocking.<br />
<br />
The <b><a href="http://houstongpcyclocross.com/" target="_blank">Houston Grand Prix Of Cyclocross</a> </b>starts September 26th and spans five races ending on November 21st. The locations of the races move from park to park. My old butt is too slow to race but I plan on taking the family to watch a couple the races. Here is the series <a href="http://houstongpcyclocross.com/schedule/" target="_blank"><b>schedule</b></a> and pasted below is the flyer for the first race in Sugarland. Now I need to go find a cowbell.<br />
