Bicycle Austin forum

This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

Bicycle Safety PSA

The purpose of this film is to humanize cyclists and bring to light that we all make common errors when rushing on the road.  The City would like to encourage safe driving and riding habits, and educate the public about the Vulnerable Users law that requires motorists to give cyclists 3 feet of space when passing.  Please watch this video and share with anyone you can.  We are trying to get 1m views.

This week (May 16-20) is National Bike to Work Week, as designated by the League of American Bicyclists. Celebrate with other riders on Friday, May 20th with breakfast and happy hour stations around the City.  Find out more here (including a map of all of the Bike To Work Day stops):  www.cityofaustin.org/rideyourbike

Thanks!
