I got honked at by some maga supporter just for riding my bike on the bike lane. Scared the crap out of me because he swerved into the lane. Like dude some people down want to spread a fucking agenda. They just want to get work or home. Some don’t have the privilege to be financially stable for a car.

I'm looking for somewhere with a good table top that has a slower approach, so I get get lots of reps in. This Holy Grail spot has been tough to find on Leon Creek. Specifically I'm looking for a tabletop (or at least no gap) jump that I can enter without a lot of speed. I'm really trying to practice the timing of pushing through the lip of the jump.

Here's where I've tried so far ( I live in Parkwood, so these are all close to me). ,All fun jumps, but not super great for intentional practice sessions:

1. The 2 table tops and the bottom of OP Schnabel on the creek. They are fun, but there's a g-out just before the first jump that makes it pretty hard to practice body position prior to the lip. The second jump is easy, but you carry too much speed to really practice much.
2. The hill in Parkwood. There are several drops and ramps. Not any I'd say are low consequence.
3. The ditch at Fox Park. There's a good jump there, but the drop it is pretty close to to jump, so it's not optimal for practicing the transition work. But, this is the best I've found so far
4. Monkey loops. There are a couple good options there, but they require a full lap to practice. That's a lot more work...I usually train there for HIIT, not jumps
5. Hidden Gem. This is for dirt jumping. Really cool, but tons of gaps, nothing low consequence for a beginner like me on a trail bike.

I've been on the "jump line" at McAlister Park. That one may work, but I kinda hope I can find something closer.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears! Happy riding!

This may seem dumb since bikes are supposed to follow the rules of the road. I sat for a long time for a stopped school bus this morning. The kids were all on the bus when I stopped , I guess they were taking a long time to sit down. The stop sign was out. I was just sitting there waiting. I wanted to go but I waited. There’s really nothing they can do since you don’t have a license plate to assign a ticket to. Anyone ever get in trouble for passing a school bus.

Im trying to mod this 17 mph bike to go around 30-35. I looked into a predator 212 but it wouldn’t fit and i just dont know what to do, please give me suggestions or advice.

Just wanting to ride more often, I'm close to sea world if anybody else is yo for a casual ride a few times a week.

Hey y'all. My cx bike was stolen off the via bus a few years ago but I'm really itching to get back on a gravel bike when I move back to San Antonio. Years ago I used to bike all kinda of crazy routes like starting in Leon Valley and biking around government canyon via Culebra to 211 to bandera and back. A good number of cross town routes on streets like Huebner too. Looking back, that was a bit... dangerous. Thankfully I've only been hit once.

Does anybody have any suggestions for rides with low vehicle traffic? The greenway is nice but not a place to burn rubber. Ride with GPS has a few but looking for more insights. I don't mind country or city, just wanna get the speed up and stay safe, thank you! :)

Windcrest Christmas Lights Bike Night is December 12, 2023.

Stay tuned...more info to follow

Are there any crash rides going on before the marathon? I’ve never been on one. How do they work

Anyone know of a shop that will cold set a frame? I have a Schwinn with 126mm rear dropouts and I want them to be 130mm or 135mm. Currently it's set up as a 5 speed and would like it to be higher. I did think about having a custom wheel built but I think cold setting will be less expensive.

Huebner Creek Greenway Public Meeting Join the city's Parks and Recreation Department to learn about the design and timeline for a new trail connection that extends the Huebner Creek Greenway trail from Leon Valley to Floyd Curl Drive.

The meeting will take place on Tuesday, November 28, at the YMCA at O.P. Schnabel Park (9606 Bandera Rd.) from 6:30 - 7:30 PM.

We look forward to seeing you there!
