Is there a specific route or trail you want to hit up this summer? A distance or fitness goal of some sort? Planning a bicycle tour? Bikepacking?

Please share, I'm curious to see what all of you are getting up to for this summer!

It's hot here in Austin TX, so if you see someone speeding by on a Brompton with long flowing red hair, a tank top, and short shorts, there's a likely chance it could be me.

Hey, I'm in Austin for the summer. Any recommendations for biking-related things in Austin?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It depends! What kind of stuff are you into?

For mountain biking, Spider Mountain is a little more than an hour away and offers some great experiences. They even got a chairlift 🤯

There are lots of really nice paved and road-bike friendly trails around as well. I recommend South Walnut Creek Trail (also check out North Walnut Creek!) as well as the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail.

We also have plenty of biking communities around as well that do group rides. For example, here's a page where you can check out upcoming rides hosted by Bike Austin. Speaking of events, if you ever get the chance to check out one that the Austin Bike Zoo is attending, I would highly recommend it. They got some crazy art bikes that you won't find anywhere else.

Nice to see a fellow Bromptonite around here. :)
