HTX Bike Fest 9/17/16- Rain Or Shine!

Tomorrow is HTX Bike Fest.  Last years festival kept getting cancelled due to rain but the organizers are saying tomorrow's festival goes on rain or shine.  We made it our to the festival two years ago and had a good time.  This year there will be over 50 bike industry vendors, a swap meet, gold cup races, and plenty of bike ramps, and flatlanders doing their thing.

Houston Bike Fest Cancelled Due to Rain

This is the second cancellation due to rain.  They are now working on a date in the Spring.  Here are some photos from last years bike fest:

Managed to make it for the last hour of HTX Bike Fest.  30+ booths of bike shops and vendors, BMX ramps, a freestyle section.  I hope to spend more time here next year.  This should definitely be on your calendar as well.  Here are some pictures

Halloween Weekend Is An Epic Time For Cyclists In Houston

This weekend is shaping up to be an epic weekend.  Critical Mass is on Halloween night and that has to be a blast.  The next day we have the HTX Bike Fest and Bayou City Racing Cyclocross at Spotts Park in the Heights.  And Sunday has Sunday Streets

I hate to admit it but I'll be trick-or-treating with the kids and will miss Critical Mass. Thousands of people riding their bikes through Houston while in costume!  Now that they have smoothed out the issues with the police, and the route, I am sure it will be an epic good time.




I am really looking forward to HTX Bike Fest.  It is an all day bike festival at Market Square Park Downtown.  They will have bike vendors with booths and demos.  In particular I am looking forward to seeing the BMX stunts and watching my kids see the BMXers work ramps for the first time.  I'm guessing there will be some blown young minds.

Also on Saturday is a cyclocross race with a total of $1,200 in prize money.

Sunday is the 4th Sunday Streets festival.  Here is a guide to Sunday's festival.
