Retiring Marine considering Dalls/Ft. Worth
I will be retiring from the Marines in November 2012 and very strongly considering moving to the Dallas/Ft.Worth area. The closest I've ever lived to there is Corpus Christi. Anyway, I am currently stationed in San Diego and over the last 7 months have become an avid road cyclist. It's at the point where I am almost ready to just stay here when I retire because there is so much great riding...but then I look at the INSANE cost of houses, rediculous taxes, liberal attitude, and I get a general sense that the whole state is on the verge of collapse. I gotta get out of here...but the riding is so good.
What's the cycling scene like in the DFW area? I know it's flat and hot. But other than that is there a lot going on? Are there many bike lanes? Are cyclists generally accepted by the public? Cycling is becoming a bigger factor in my relocation plans.
