Beginner riders of Reddit, what would make biking safer and lower stress for you in navigation + mapping software? 🚴🏽♀️
I’ve been working on an app called Pointz that’s all about helping riders find safer, low-stress routes to feel confident and comfy on the roads. Right now, it has emergency roadside assistance, plus a color-coded road safety map (from red to dark green for safety ratings), a slider to help choose the optimal balance of safety vs. speed, and options for specific preferences, like avoiding hills, selecting routes for different bike types, avoiding multi-use paths, and more. It has a bunch of other things like a way to record your ride (like Strava), GPX exporting, and even crowdsourcing (like Waze).But I'm curious—what features would you all actually use? Especially folks who are new/intermediate to riding in cities and suburbs. Would love to hear your thoughts

Best cycling shoe selection?
Hi Guys,
I’m finally ready to make the leap to trying clipless. I’ve already got a set of Shimano SPD pedals. I just need the shoes. Anyone have any insight on where in Houston area has the best selection of cycling shoes to try on? I don’t want to just order some online and wind up with something that doesn’t feel right. Thanks for any help.

Trash cans in the bike lane on Heights boulevard
Pretty much the title, is there a reason the residents on heights blvd have to have their trash cans in the bike lane? Id imagine they could be picked up a little further back. That road is apart of my commute and it’s really annoying to have to dodge these especially when the road is busier. Not sure what can even be done but thought about leaving some flyers on them so they’re aware

Now is the time to comment on the SH 105 widening project in Navasota, TX
Here are my comments:
SH 105 and FM 362 are used by bicycle tourists traveling in the vicinity of Navasota. It is troubling, therefore, that there is no occurrence at all in the public meeting documents of the word "bicycle". The public needs to see how the bicycle users are safely accomodated at and through the intersection of SH105 and FM362.
It is good that the proposed cross-section maintains the 10' outside shoulder. The 10' ft outside shoulders should be made of a smoother material, not chip seal, because chip seal causes increases rolling resistance and an uncomfortable ride for bicycles. Rumble strips and cateye reflectors should not be placed in the shoulder such that the bicyclist user will run straight into them... these should be place on the left side of the outside shoulder, not spanning across the entire shoulder.
Please consult with the TxDOT Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinators for guidance:

Location of Bike Tag #580 Flood Gates of the Barker Reservoir. Wasn’t sure if it was Barker or Addicks at first, but the 1945 date on the plaque confirmed it was Barker. Addicks was finished in 1948.
u/garedunordii made a great first tag move. I brought it back inside the Beltway, not terribly far from Bike Tag #1 actually.

Bicycle Discount Businesses
I was inspired by the bike friendly business post and have been looking for businesses that offer discounts for being a customer.
For example, Burger Joint at Montrose/Sheperd offers\ed 20% bike-in discount your meal. Since then, I've been curious to compile a spreadsheet about businesses that offer discounts to share with the community! Feel free to share what business/location, offer, and if they have bike racks!
If you've been to any of the establishments, feel free to post an update if they still offer the discount!
