COVER
I get to work with an amazing team monthly including these goofballs (who are super professionals) on location at Caracol.
H
ow is it June already? This year has flown by and we are smack dab in the middle of it. As of print deadline (which is kind of mid-May to give you an idea) we’ve been spared the blazing Houston heat we are so known for, and this 5+ month preggo mama is not complaining! In that vein, the weather could not be better for getting on a bike! It doesn’t matter if you are an avid rider, a recreational cyclist, a true racer or a beginner. Digital Editor Batli, who’s in her 20s, got on a bike for the first time for this issue. You can read her blog on our website at www.002mag.com about the experience. And who better to teach her than one of our featured cyclists and Bike Houston board member, Regina Garcia.
Joining her are other supporters of the activity including Chef Hugo Ortega, B-Cycle directors William Rub and Baker Goldsmith, Sugar Cycles’ Kyle Davenport and Boone Cycles proprietor Joy Boone. They each have a different take and come from different walks of life but all share a passion for cycling. We’ve also gone straight to Michael Payne, Executive Director at Bike Houston, for a little bit of bike etiquette for riders and motorists. There’s so much going on this month from restaurant openings, to new construction and innovations in design – make sure to check out all of our sections covering food, art, community, design, style + leisure, so you don’t miss a thing. I love summer and wish you a happy one, kicking it off now. P.S. My Table Magazine and 002houston are hosting a Father’s Day Brunch on Sunday June 15, at Nara in West Ave. Make sure to visit both of our wesbites to sign up for our newsletters and get the invite! nara@002mag.com
