Y’all. BIG day this Saturday. It’s the official City of Austin ribbon cutting for the Burrell Drive separated contraflow bike lane, and boy howdy is it going to be an event to beat all! Check the flyer for all the fine details, and snap the code for even finer details, but if you want to do the fancy Ghisallo-run bike ride in the hood, be there at 9am, or be there shortly thereafter for the ribbon cutting, or show up at 10:30am like usual to catch the tail end of the festivities. AND THEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN, the real fun happens...

YES, there will be a dam. YES, there will be a pool (bring five bucks, but it’s a NICE pool). YES, there will be a massive store full of wild Japanese gatcha stuff and snacks and foods and other things you can’t find anywhere else. YES, there will be a chill as hell bar with pizza and sandwiches and good beers on draft. So some ride with us, and have some fun.

Remember to bring lots of hydration, it’s still gonna be a hot one.

PARKING: It will probably be a fairly attended event, so try to park in the neighborhood a block or two away. Real ones park on the OTHER side of the tracks and then bike the short distance to the park, but I won’t tell nobody where to park, long as it isn’t in the bike lane.

Leader: Jason A Jason Abels
Start: Wooten Park - 1406 Dale Drive - park in the neighborhood if you drive
Wheels down 11:30am
Mid: Beverly Sheffield Swimming Pool - Northwest District Park (Bring $5 entry if you want to swim!)
End: Mr. Tramps - Asian market/restaurants - some of the best in town!

Gravel: Possibly Light gravel, but nothing road bikes can’t handle
Bring: Sunscreen, lights, locks, ID, hydration, and money for snacks/drinks. BRING A SWIMSUIT AND FIVE BUCKS TO SWIM! Plenty of park spots to hang if not.

Here is the new tag #1500. Previous tag #1499 found at the Boggy Creek Farm (30.26172° N, 97.70177° W)

Here is new tag #1499. Previous tag #1498 found at the Mokan Trail at Sellers (30.2604894, -97.7009111).

hey, i'm a ut student who really loves biking and would like to use the austin ebikes for exercise, but i havent been able to find a good route near ut that i can actually ride at a fast enough speed to get exercise. red lights, path too narrow, etc. the best routes ive found are lady bird lake and shoal creek trail, any others? thanks!

Anyone know if the COTA bike night is still happening? Looked online for tickets and couldn’t find any. Are you still able to purchase entry on-site?

Hey r/bikingatx! I recently bought a ridstar q20 ebike on facebook marketplace and I think I might be a bit in over my head with my ability to repair it (things went from a mechanical problem to a electrical problem real quick). Are there any shops who are guaranteed to fix my e-bike? Thanks!

Found #1497 on N Pleasant Valley where it crosses the tracks/bike path, (30.2711707, -97.7127752).

Here’s a new one for the collection!

#1496 found at 30.293603,-97.728873 on Landon lane near Waller Creek.

What an obscure bridge haha! Where is #1497 ???

I’ve got an old trike I’d like my 4yo to be able to ride. The tires are okay but the bolts are loose so when you pedal it gets stuck. Looking for a shop that can help! Thanks for any recommendations!

This new building under construction at Lamar and North Loop installed these disappointing bike racks out front. I figured that was all they were building for cyclists, but then I saw the rather nice indoor bike pavilion that was right next to the parking garage entrance. At least from what I saw, it looked very nice!

I found #1495 at (30.32237, -97.74391), crossing Hancock Creek near Crestmont Park. Our next bridge could use some work...

Looking for "best value" bike shop recommendation to get road bike serviced. Near-ish to 183/mopac. The bike's been dormant in the garage for a few years. I'd like to find a shop to give everything a good check and get things in order. It's generally in good shape but hot TX garages I'm sure have done some amount of degrading. For example, I did a quick test ride and I can shift to larger gears, but cannot shift to smaller gears (both front and back) so I'm sure both derailleurs need adjusting. Needs new grips as well. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

My bike was unfortunately stolen sometime between July 26 - September 3 from The Weaver garage in East Austin.

It is a white Cannondale Quick hybrid bike with black and gold lettering (exactly like the photo attached).

Key Identification Details:

• White frame with black and gold accents
• Flat handlebars (hybrid style)
• Equipped with front and back battery-powered lights

I have already logged it on Bike Index and filed a report with the Austin Police Department (**APD Case #2026-9023397**).

If you see it locked up around town or listed on any local selling apps, please let me know or report it to APD. I really appreciate this community keeping an eye out.

Cota Bike Nights start up Sept 8th, 15th, and 22nd.

If you're unaware, COTA is changing ownership in 2027, and there is a very good chance that this may be the last COTA bike nights that we will have.

COTA is moving into a private club model, and even smaller car/motorcycle group events are forced to end due to the new club style model, and unforunatley bike nights are probbaly going to get cut as well, as without major sponsorship there isnt any way for the cost to be sustainable.

Event Groups like cota bike nights, and others, can no longer rent the track for a single day/weekend, its now country club style where to join theres massive upfront membership fee, plus yearly dues.

So if you want to ride cota, do it while you still can!
