Safe road biking routes (not greenway)

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! :)

Salado Creek Greenway Trail: You cyclists need to chill and stop acting like it’s a race. I had a man yell at me just cause I was in his way(even though I was on the right side).

Cold Set Bike Frame

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.

Are drivers in SA getting more careless/aggro towards cyclists?

Just had probably my most traumatic ride ever here in San Antonio, just a short jaunt over to the pool on a Saturday afternoon. In the space of 1.5 miles there and back, I was yelled at to get off the road by a pickup (on a side street btw) and came within feet of being plowed into by not one but two careless left turns (yes, I had the green). Did they add something to the water? What the fuck is happening?

Maybe that's just unlucky. But I grew up here and have been riding here since I was young, and it seems like overall we're becoming a worse city for bikes, not better. CoSA took away the N New Braunfels bike lane and basically refuses to implement any usable bike infrastructure (Avenue B downtown and the new N St Marys bike lane are incredibly flawed). TxDoT took away the Broadway bike lane that connects the two halves of Avenue B. Meanwhile traffic is worse than ever, making it even more difficult to share space with cars on regular streets. It's just really disheartening and no one seems to give a shit.

Electric bike for my son.

Hey, my son wants an electric bike for Christmas and I was wondering on people thoughts on this. He’s only 12 so I don’t want him on something too expensive. Would this be an okay bike?.

Anybody recognize the symbol on this sticker

This bike got kicked down to me along with a few others that I could immediately tell who their makers were. This one, on the other hand, bore only this sticker to which I haven't got the slightest clue of its brand or maker. If anyone could fill me in, I'd appreciate it LOTS!!

Is this a good buy?

I've been looking to buy a hybrid bike but I don't want to spend a lot because I'm still seeing if I'm going to stick with riding. The use will be mostly for fitness riding in my community and gravel trails.

Will this Trek MetroTrack be a good buy for $100? Owner says the buyer "will probably want new tires and will have to reconnect the brake wires [because he] took them off so they wouldn't get caught on things while shipping". He also says that "it's been garaged for a long while but it's in good condition overall".

Are bicycles allowed on 211?

Are we allowed to ride 211? It looks like the sights are great between Culebra and Route 16
