If you’re looking for one more reason to fall in love with the Houston Heights, RIDE has got your back. With the tagline “the most fun you can have on a bike,” the indoor cycling studio on 19th Street is filled with black lights, bumping music, and plenty of sweat inducing moves. I went to … Continue reading
The Galleria Area is the most cosmopolitan neighborhood in Houston. Centered around the massive Galleria Mall which is home to 400+ retailers, 50 restaurants, and an ice rink, the neighborhood is technically called Uptown, but not as many people call it that. For our guide will be defined as anything west of 610, north of Highway … Continue reading
Most cities, downtown is the hippest, happening part of town, and for years and years, that didn’t seem to be too true of Hou. However, times have changed, bars have sprinkled all around Main Street, Discovery Green and GRBCC has thrived, the Metro Light Rail has spread out all around, and Houston’s Downtown Living Initiative … Continue reading
The Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Houston founded originally as a “utopian community” in the late 1890s. Named from the fact that its elevation is just 23 feet higher than Downtown Houston, it’s a great place to be during one of Houston’s inevitable floods–as well as year round. The Heights life is a … Continue reading

It’s called balance. I discovered a new brand of wine on Instagram that lets you have your … Continue reading
I’ve never regret a good workout class. And the Soul Cycle that opened up in River Oaks is no exception. While Soul Cycle might be the original cycling class that makes you tap it back while doing pushups with candles lit and music bumping all while meditating on the greater meaning of life, it’s still … Continue reading
I’m the casual cycler. I’ve done a few triathlons mostly focusing on the swimming and running (and having fun!), so that means I’ve encountered a bike every now and then. Sometimes in preparation for these triathlons or due to the fact that the 100+ degree Houston weather has forced me inside for a workout, I’ve dabbled a … Continue reading
Traffic was terrible. We’re in Houston, we can blame the traffic for everything. I blame the traffic for my incredibly terrible attitude. I was a straight up witch with a B when I walked into Ryde. I acknowledge this. My biggest only beef with this place is it’s parking. You have more than 30 bikes … Continue reading
There are very few areas in Houston where you can spend an entire day in. I mean, park the car and walk around and be entertained for, like, 10 hours. Maybe you could do that in the Galleria area, but that would be a LOT of shopping and eating. Downtown too, but that would be … Continue reading
