Ever since PedalHouston has gone up, it has been quite the pleasure to meet a lot of the bike organizations around Houston. One organization in particular is BikeHouston. Not only have I been able to learn what they are all about and who runs it but more importantly, it’s given me the chance to get to know the people.
It has been a great experience working closely with them and assisting in bring BikeHouston.org back with a new energy to the online community and to the Houston bike community. Their relaunch of their website just shows that there is a continued and active pursuit to make Houston a bike-friendly and accessible city. I have had the honor of meeting and getting to know the people behind this organization and the possibilities are endless. The potential for this city to become a bike commuter city is welcomed and feasible. Now it’s a matter of there being a strong social presence to show that we want it.
Thanks to Darren Sabom and Aaron Chang of BikeHouston for giving PedalHouston the chance to work with you guys. This is only the tip of the iceberg with what we can do for the city and bikes.
Please do not forget to check out their bike shops page – it is ridiculously resourceful for those new to the city or just don’t know where the bike shops are around your neighborhood. It’s about time that this has been finally done!
Keep them bookmarked as they will be sharing a lot of useful city information and updates about what’s going on with the City of Houston, local projects and their annual Moonlight Ramble ride.
Don’t forget to also add them on twitter: twitter.com/bikehouston and on Facebook: facebook.com/BikeHouston.

Recently, I was given the great opportunity to have an interview with Erik and J from HandleBar Mustache. On twitter, they are known as @hbstache. PedalHouston had been introduced to them by Lynn of Voices of Survivors. These guys are also strong supporters of cancer-based charities. One thing for sure is that they appreciate quality and it is not only represented in their designs but in their materials as well. It is great to see biking influenced designs so it’s time to jump on it!
Check the interview after the jump…

PedalHouston wants to thank everyone who participated in the contest!
@araley, you will be receiving a direct message with further info about winning your free Pedal Party tour! Get ready to grab some friends and throwdown all around town. Yes. Yes, that rhymed. Try to grab from 8-16 friends and it’s a great idea if you want to even do a pub crawl. If that is not your cup of tea, just take in the sights and a memorable occasion. What you don’t notice when you’re driving inside a car, you’ll notice being on the pedals. It gives you time to look around and take in the scenery, joke around with pals and have simply have a great time.
Thank you to Pedal Party for bringing a fun idea to Houston and as a treat for everyone else, if you mention “PedalHouston” to them, all rides are 50% off in the month of February, so contact them on twitter, facebook or on their website! Cheers!
