I once had a co-worker from Houston who swore it was the best place on earth to skateboard, if it was skateboard friendly I can't imagine it being a bad place for cycling. Hot, but then they do have winter there at some point.

It's growing daily...!! It's nice not to be honked at, yelled at by ignorant drivers, and possibly getting run over because someone had a bad day or a long night.

How about a nice 1990's Mongoose IBOC? It's only as much as a nice 2016 29er? Such a bargain!,,,,BD

We now have an entire network of concrete 2 way bike trails. Of course everyone thinks it's their personal full kit race training track now. 29ers and roadies alike will yell for anyone riding slower to "Get out of the way" etc. They want to ride 25-30 mph, and everyone else be damned...
Guilty . Well sort of... I use Terry Hershey from time to time and do pass a lot. But I am always courteous about announcing that I am passing on the left as well as hollering out how many leeches are behind me sucking on my wheel.
That said, H-town has a looooong way to go before they can start boasting about their bike trails IMO. They have a lot of little segments but can't seem to weave them together without making you spend time along some ridiculously busy highway.
I miss the trails in the western Chicago burbs. I could put in a 60 miler and still have alternate route choices.

I spend 7 weeks there working at HLSR and ship a bike. I ride on the trail next to the, ummm concrete river? Braes Bayou I think that goes from down there NW to over yonder. You do have to cross some roads but it gets the job done. I put some 28's on my Serotta.

My turn to post something humorous (and right near me)...and I'm looking at them on Tuesday and am leaning toward picking them up--to flip at the very least but we will see. I would have done it yesterday but the seller responded that she had been instructed by a local hospital to come in and induce labor. WHOA. Yeah, we can resume our discussion whenever you want--she did suggest Tuesday...oh boy.
The red one is in my size, which was the primary draw. Probably no more remains of the Campy Triomphe grouppo even though there are no drive side photos. I had Triomphe on my Ross (and put it on a Trek that I was selling), and the shifters, cranks, heck the wheels don't look original. It'll be some work.

Sewups will look really flat without air.
