Large number of clubs to choose from. Very good velodrome for training/racing (Alkek velodrome on west side). Numerous stores to visit as well. Biking in general in Houston has been steadily progressing over the years. Commute every day since it is temperate. Only draw-back is summer time is a tad warm. Ride with WolfPack and Space City Cycle Club in Clear Lake (south of Houston) and always a good turn-out.
