Hi! I'm new to cycling and in the DFW area too. Now that the rain has stopped get out and explore the bike paths - I've been surprised at how extensive they are. Of course, convincing cars that indeed the road is clearly marked for bike traffic is another story, http://cycledallas.org/ has lots of info and is a good place to start. and http://bikedfw.org has tons of info and a listing of local clubs in and around the metroplex. Welcome to town! -Shelley
