Lubbock Local Bike Culture

This post is brought to you by our local bulletin boards!


So, you find yourself in Lubbock with a bike, but you want to be around more like-biked people?

Weekly:

Joy over distance or speed - sounds like my kind of biker gang!

Every Thursday night a group gathers at J&B Coffee (26th @ Boston) and goes for a ride.

Monthly:

Bike to the arts! What could be better? (Maybe bike to the donuts?)

On the Saturday after the monthly First Friday Art Trail, you can join the ride to see what you missed the night before. It starts at the LHUCA (511 Ave K) at 10am. If you're reading this in the week it was published, the next ride will be this Saturday, so air up those tires and be ready!

Wanna race?

Okay, it's not Lubbock, but it's not that far away...

Yes, I know, I'm not much of a racer type, but I've been itching to try one of these. And Grizz and I have the parts lying around to throw together a vintage road bike and (Who knows?) my derriere might just like being supported in spandex and the shortest route is only 12 miles and there's a t-shirt and lunch and the chance to win one of those god-awful utv's. How can I go wrong?

If you're having similar thoughts, you can learn more at txtumbleweed100.com.

May you pedal joyfully and get your derriere out of those god-awful gas burners!
