Houston is so enourmous, spread out, and (most of the time) humid and hot that bicycles are only good for exercise or to get to somewhere that is closeby. It wouldn't be good to ride a bike to somewhere important as, by the time you're likely to get there, you will be sweaty and tired. Most city buses have easy to use racks in the front that can get traveler and bicycle near to a final destination. The city of Houston has 290 miles of marked bike routes, plus another 80 miles of hike and bike trails in city parks, with concrete plans for even more expansion. For more information on the Houston Bikeway program, including a complete map of all marked bike paths, visit the City of Houston Bikeway Program website www.publicworks.houstontx.gov/bikeways/index.htm. On the other hand, if you have a little bit of stamina and perseverence, Downtown, midtown, rice, uptown and the medical center/hermann park/museum district area are within a 30 minute ride.
