Any cyclists live in San Antonio?
There's a few here
What part of town, where do you live?
There's some great riding on the county roads north of 1604, east and west of 281. Also, to the northwest along either side of I-10. No 'mountains', but lots of rolling hills. Some are brutish steep too.
Lifetime Fitness organizes Saturday group rides from their facility at 1604/281 (the 'burbs') with A, B, and C groups 30/50 miles. They're well run with a good turnout.
If you want to put in 20-miles and hangout, there is more of a cycling culture in the Broadway area. It's in town with local bike shops, good coffee, and beer gardens.
Does that help?
