Description
Houston surprised me.
After visiting Planetary Cycles in Houston, Texas, I headed out to explore the Spring Creek Trail system on my AZUB Ti-FLY X recumbent trike… expecting a casual ride.
Instead, I found narrow forest paths, muddy reroutes, strange trail “features,” ant hills the size of basketballs, wildlife, drone shots, and some genuinely beautiful riding hidden inside one of America’s biggest cities.
Along the way I talk about:
- visiting @pedalguerrero2092 in San Antonio
- veterans and adaptive cycling
- NASA and the Houston Space Center
- humanity, exploration, and modern conflict
- getting lost on the trail
- filming techniques on the Ti-FLY X
- and the strange freedom of solo travel
This was one of those rides where the journey became more interesting than the destination.
Ride with me through Houston’s hidden wilderness.
