Those new to Space City are often surprised to discover it's one of the country's best dining locales. Here's where to eat, stay, work, and eat some more while visiting Houston for business. Houston has long been known as the energy capital of America, if not the world, but tech has been slowly grinding its way to prominence here, with over 230,000 of the metro area's 7.9 million residents employed in the tech sector. That, of course, only tells part of the story: Techies wind up here to market technology services to companies in the city's bustling oil and gas, health care, and logistics sectors.

An unadorned ebike is a blank canvas. Here, get tips for maximizing its cargo-hauling and person-carrying capabilities. When my wife and I bought our first ebike--a Radwagon 4 by the Seattle-based Rad Power Bikes --four years ago, we did so to replace one of our two family cars. For in-town trips of 5 miles or less, we figured we could (and should!) use the bicycle. At the time, our kids were very young, so we needed a bike capable of safely carting them around and also handling whatever we were hauling on a given day.
