we grew up riding bikes for various REASONS. mayBE IT was for fun OR JUST TRYING TO GET OVER TO OUR FRIEND’S HOUSE. A PILE OF BIKES IN THE FRONT YARD WAS A CLEAR SIGN WHERE EVERYONE WAS HANGING OUT. Bikes meant freedom! These machines gave us the ability to GET AROUND. A WAY TO GEt OUT of your comfort zone and explore new places. LIFE MOVES forward, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN you HAVE TO MISS OUT ON THAT feeling. the BIG OLE GRIN ON yOUR FACE, THE WIND IN yOUR HAIR, AND THE FREEDOM A SIMPLE MACHINE can GIVE you.
texas HWY 87 runs 250 miles from timpson, tx and ends in galveston, tx. it starts in the piney woods and winds its way along the sabine river watershed through countless communities with their varied terrain and personalities. After winding south, the route turns west and follows along the coast as the “beach road” and finally ending up as the main drag through galveston, usa.
the diversity of people and culture along this route reflect the spirit of southeast texas and what makes this place special.
