Usually the largest limiting factor is your own MIND… (but sometimes it’s your janky ass bike, too)! 🙂 If you can ride 60 miles, you can ride 100 miles. If you can ride 40 miles, you can ride 60 miles. If you can ride 20 miles, you can ride 40 miles. (It seriously reduces the likelihood of crashes withĬars and other riders–and increases your own ability to see road hazards.)Īnd lastly– CHALLENGE YOURSELF. So, please bring lights (both tail and headlights) on evening and night rides. For less than $20 you can get some pretty dope lights online–so there’s no excuse for riding commando night.
ICYCLE HOUSTON DRIVERS
Houston roads and drivers are WAY too sketchy to take that kind of chance. Riding at night without lights is simply stupid. (If you crash out during a ride and have a head injury or die–that pretty much ends the ride for everyone else–which is pretty inconsiderate.) Wearing a helmet is definitely a freedom of choice issue… but Houston Bike Exchange recommends that you always wear one–especially when riding in a group. To expect them to wait on slower riders… so make a contingency plan in case you can’t keep up or have a major mechanical. If you want to take a chance and try out faster rides–by all means, do so! 🙂 However, it is inconsiderate to the other riders Read the descriptions & average MPH of the rides thoroughly before you arrive at the staring point–and know your limits. have at least one tube, a small pump or CO2 cartridges, etc) Please be reasonable with your expectations of these rides.Īlso, make sure your bike is in good working order and that you come prepared forįlats and other small maintenance issues.
Since the leaders are volunteering and sometimes things don’t work out as planned, Daily / Weekly / Monthly Open Group Rides in and around Houstonīelow is a list of ongoing / consistent rides in and around the Houston, TX area.
