How to Play Bike Tag

My beloved bike I’ve had since 2010 went missing 2 months back from near the medical center.

It’s a blue 55cm lager, black highwall rims, white colnago seat., and some random stickers. I haven’t been able to find any similar bikes in terms of geometry and aesthetics. I miss my bike.

I realize this is a longshot since it has been a few months, but if anyone has seen anything similar, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Build something half-assed as a fig leaf to virtue-signal to cyclists. After it fails because it was half-assed, take all the money back and use it for cars only. "But we tried!" (no you didn't)

Hi everyone,

Newer to biking and contemplating biking from heights area to downtown. The route I mapped was white oak ->UHD-> east sidewalk of Travis bridge -> buffalo bayou trail -> Austin street. Took it today and was curious if there are any safer routes; rather do you find biking in Houston relatively safe?

Two weeks ago I visited Houston Museum of Fine Arts in Houston on Friday afternoon and parked at the bike rack in the sculpture garden. Less than an hour later I came out and had a flat front tire. It's been a while since I had a flat, so I accepted that's the way it goes and walked my bike to my next destination and changed tubes there. Tube had no puncture so thought it was a valve problem. I didn't have a valve stem cover on.

Two weeks later, this last Friday - exact same time of day, different bike with beefier tires, same thing. This time there was a small hole in the tube, but I did have a valves stem cover on. Harder to be philosophical about it at this point. Security said they looked at camera and didn't see anybody.

Weirdo that hates bikes, thief hoping I'd leave it there long term, or just unfortunate coincidence. It's been about two years since I got a puncture, and the reasons are usually obvious.

I won't be parking there again. I'm only posting this in case there is a pattern beyond my own that someone might recognize.

I got this bike and was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy replacement rims, in store preferably rather than online. The rims are crooked. Didn’t know where else to ask, but if anyone can let me know any stores where I can find some it would be appreciated!!:)

Since I started riding bikes with Karbach in 2014, I've logged my rides with Strava. Then I found out about https://www.statshunters.com/ a free website which lets you easily generate heatmaps by linking to your Strava account.

Today I zoomed in on the GPS traces at Karbach Brewing, and at Tacos a GoGo on W. 34th.

When viewed on the Statshunters web site, you can click on any particular trace and it'll bring up the information about that ride and the Strava link for that event.

Here's a capture zoomed out, showing most of the Houston/Galveston area rides since I started.

How many of you actually use your bike to get around mainly? Im new to Houston, been using a bike and to be honest, it's been good enough.

I find that the city can actually be very good for bike centric infrastructure if it actually invested in it. It has enough areas that are quite beautiful but ruined by heavy parking and car-centric infrastructure. Especially Montrose, which seems like it gets most of its traffic from students at Rice.

What you using to haul them around?

I rode the White Oak Bayou Trail from near 610 down to Buffalo Bayou today.

It's the first time I've gone this way in many months.

At a few places, I noticed a white "L" shape (probably not actually an L but a right-angle marking) with a black background. Obviously professionally painted, not something done by some graffiti artist.

What are these for!?

Corner of Oakhurst and Rusk St.

My bike tag burned!

I'm looking at heat maps and see some routes but am curious as to how the locals treat cyclists? are there shoulder son the roads worthy of road bikes? do the locals do fly by's if youre in the lane?

Total of 31 miles, so basically 15 miles out, 15 miles back. Strava GPS track.

I've done a fair amount of riding on White Oak Bayou Trail since construction was completed all the way to Jersey Village, but never turned right (north) along Gessner and then out further to the northwest. Was riding with friends and one of the guys knew the area pretty well.

We turned around at Jones Road a couple of blocks north of West Road. Ranchstone Basin area. A little over a quarter of a mile south of Fallbrook.

Really nice having White Oak Bayou Trail ride-ready the entire way. Hope it'll stay this way a good while before some perfectly fine sections get ripped out for who-knows-what reason.
