[RBW] Re: Big Bike Ride Round Town - steel bikes prominently displayed
San Antonio is making good progress on their greenways trails with a goal of eventually tying them all together. They have 68 miles completed (disjointed) and another 85 miles planned that link them all. The paths all follow the creeks( and SA River), which provides shade over much of the distance, and plenty of shady stops. They have already gone past Austin, in that, their paved paths are twice as wide, while the skinny Austin paths are falling apart (probably didn't help funding that Austin named theirs after Lance).

Re: [RBW] Re: Big Bike Ride Round Town - steel bikes prominently displayed
downtown is great to ride, easy to get around in traffic, and easy to get to and from the trails. Also downtown has city bike rentals - you register online, pick up a bike any of two dozen kiosks and return it to any kiosk http://sanantonio.bcycle.com/ On Saturday, June 22, 2013 11:42:00 AM UTC-5, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: I've heard a lot of really good things about SA.

The goatheads even got to those knobbies! Tough buggers. Need to schedule that ride for later winter before the tumbleweeds blossom. Looks like some turf we've wandered around before.

lets wait until it's really green... in spring.
