    I’ve made it my mission to do weekly checkups on the new trail construction by Spring Creek Park (at Central and Renner Road). Every week, there’s a new surprise addition that gets us closer to having a bike friendly passage under Central Expressway, safely joining east and west Richardson. This week, they added guard rails…

Here’s a pic of one of the new trails that leads to the southern of the two passages under Central Expressway. Here, you can…

Five minutes in any direction will take you to a destination that suits your mood. Although it’s a great city, Richardson isn’t perfect. From a rider’s…
