Bicycle Austin forum

Depending on where you are exactly, you can take Beckett (bike lanes) to Convict Hill to Brodie if you live west of MoPac.  Convict Hill bike lanes end near the library and the road is narrow two lanes for part of the way, but traffic is not too bad.  If you live east of MoPac, you can just take neighborhood streets to Brodie.  Once on Brodie, there are bike lanes all the way to Sunset Valley.  Right before the Home Depot stoplight, you can turn right into the alley that goes behind the shopping center and take it to Ernesto Robles.  Turn right on Ernesto Robles to Jones Rd and take Jones Rd across Westgate to Packsaddle Pass.  Turn left and Packsaddle Pass turns into Victory Dr where it goes under Ben White.  Then turn left on Panther Tr and you will be at S Lamar.  Jones Rd doesn't have bike lanes but is fairly comfortable for riding, not too much traffic.  Packsaddle Pass is basically a neighborhood street.
