    We’d like to take a moment to tell you about our newest retail partner, Purdy’s Restaurant. We’ve been working with owner, Dave Morley, about offering up a special deal for Richardson bicyclists. Not only did he pull together a great offer, but he added a bike rack out front. ABOUT PURDY’S: Purdy’s is a locally…

Sounds like a good cause, and there has…

    NOTE: I just realized that the pictures I took tonight make Richardson look kind of ugly, so I promise next time I’ll take lots of scenic pics! I’ll be posting various versions of this article on several blogs. God, I love this whole blogging addiction thing. OK, I went for a casual Richardson ride tonight.…

    There is a recent Dallas Morning News article about biking in Richardson. This comes in the wake of Bicycling Magazine’s recently released list of Top 50 Bike-Friendly Cities – which lacks any of the DFW cites. The DMN article gives mention to the new bike lanes on Grove and Custer. They also quote our friend…

    I’m thinking about doing the BFOC Ninja’s Vs. Pirates Ride on Sunday, April 25. I think it would be more fun to take the DART Redline to the event. Anybody else interested? According to their Sunday route map, we’d need to meet at the Arapaho station for the 2:15 train to make it to the…

    Ever since I had buttons and stickers produced, folks from all over the world have been wanting some. It didn’t start out this way, but some people have sent stuff in return for their BFR swag. From San Francisco, my friend Melgrosa sent me this nice, custom-made holiday card: From North Shore (Aukland, New Zealand), my…

    I just picked this up from the BikeTexas site. Looks like it will be interesting information – once I get a moment to sit down and read it. From a quick flip through, looks like Dallas and Texas are included, but Richardson isn’t. As you may have guessed, it appears as if north Texas didn’t…
