Austin Bicycle Tour Video

We were told that bikes are the best way to get around Austin, so Chad, Kate and I wanted to see if that was true. Being that it was 80 degrees and sunny after a week of rain during South by Southwest, bike rentals were a scarce. Luckily we found a few at Bicycle Sports Shop, one of Austin’s many bike shops, and hit the trails.

Chad, Kate and Nick think that New York City could learn something from Austin.

We set out on the Town Lake Trail, crossed a bike/pedestrian bridge to the north side of the lake (which looks remarkably like a river but is, we were assured, indeed a lake), up to the Capitol Building and back across the lake via Congress Ave. Check out the video from Kate’s Flip and my helmet camera below.
