Redesignating Brownsville as the official Bicycling Capital of the Rio Grande Valley for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

HCR 116 is a ceremonial resolution designating Brownsville as the official "Bicycling Capital of the Rio Grande Valley" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It formally recognizes Brownsville's existing bicycle infrastructure and initiatives, including its trail system (like the Historic Battlefield Trail), community events (such as CycloBia), and programs like the Brownsville Bike Barn and Earn-a-Bike. The resolution has no binding policy changes or funding requirements - it serves solely as symbolic recognition under Texas Government Code Section 391.003(e). This designation was approved by both legislative chambers and signed by the governor on May 24, 2025.
