I have just moved to Plano, TX. What are your suggestions for good road or
trail rides, and what bicycle shops do you recommend?

I will have about a 5 mile commute -- any pointers in commuting here?

Thanks, Priscilla

The dorba.org site is a good source for trail conditions an
information. I think the trails in Plano are closed due to constructio
on 190. Good trails in Rowlett and Grapevine, if yeah wanna road it
alot of people go to White Rock Lake. Also catching the DART train t
downtown Dallas is fun lots of places to go just deal with traffic.
It's pretty dead on Sundays so traffic isn't bad. The DART train allow
bikes only during non peak rush hour times. Anyone know if the TR
allows bikes I've looked on there website with no luck

No, I hadn't seen them. Thanks! I found I do live near some bike trails and my
commute is in a less-traffic area, but the traffic and the lack of shoulders
are intimidating!!

I moved here from rural Pennsylvania.

Blessings, Priscilla
