Addition comment (personal) about Texas, not about books.
There are NO bike trails, or bike lanes in my city (Sherman, TX). There are only two bike parking racks in the whole city, other than what you would find at the elementary schools for kids, one at the courthouse, the other at the library. I think I'm the only one, in multiple years, to use the one at the courthouse (jury duty), because the traffic in the immediate area is so bad you are risking your life to even ride a bike in this area. The norm in this area is to use your Suv at all times, even if you have to go only 500 feet to get something. We want to Drill, Drill, Drill, not walk. Walking is almost discouraged unless you are in a Mall, in fact, in most cases there is no path to walk on unless you walk in the street. Sidewalks are a new concept, we are still trying to figure out how to pay for them.
I'm an architectural draftsman in Texas, and no one here can hear my cries for help! Please tell me again how great it is in Texas...
