Greetings! Did you know that Houstonians keep riding through the summer, it's true. Even when it gets hot, Houstonians keep riding and actually prefer it over the cold. But be prepared. Make sure you have the right gear. . Sun sleeves can keep you cool and keep the sun off of you while riding. Also, we have a large selection of electrolyte drinks and tablets. Riding the summers in Houston is a lot of fun but requires the right planning and gear. Make sure you are prepared and enjoy the early morning rides this summer! Lee and Neil
