Bayou City Outdoors
Holiday Farmers Market Tour by Bike - Everyone is Welcome!
Onion Creek Cafe
3106 White Oak Dr,
Houston, TX 77007
8:00 AM – NOON
We have several Farmer Markets right here in the middle of the city, which bring in local organic produce every Saturday. Bring your backpack to carry what you purchase, and let's shop the markets on our bikes! Now we're riding it Holiday Style!
Wear Christmas colors, put your jingle bells on, or even decorate your helmet! Santa hats are great as long as they fit over your helmet.
Come out and stretch your legs biking to the Farmer’s Markets of Houston to shop for local organic produce! Hop on your bike and let’s take a ride through the side streets, trails, and residential areas in the heart of Houston. This is a very social ride and all levels of riders are welcome. We will start the morning off with coffee at Onion Creek and then cruise through 2-3 markets to shop for fresh produce, sauces, jams, and bread. This is a 12-15 mile ride that lasts about three hours so bring plenty of water and a backpack to carry your goodies!
If you’d like to join us but don’t own a bike, there are several options around town. You can pick up a bike from the B-Cycle kiosk around town (details here:

'On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen! Now on Comet, on Cupid, on – “ You the get the idea. Now come on and put your reindeer antlers on and romp with us through the non-snowy trails of Memorial Park. We’ll make merry as we celebrate the season with a short hike.
Come Prepared!! Bring your flashlights, hiking shoes, and sharp eyes because the first person to find the evil Grinch not only saves Christmas - but gets dinner on BCO. We’ll be dining at Beck’s Prime in the park at the Golf Center after our walk.
