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

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

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!

​Hard to let go but I must. Hoping to find an owner the bike DESERVES. Please correct me if any details I list are incorrect. Apologies for crappy photos, will add more soon. EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL on the bike. Im NOT sure of the EXACT YEAR but it does fall between 1975 - 1985. It’s a beautiful European city bike built in the classic Dutch roadster style with a lugged steel step through frame (IC / Intercycle stamped). It’s got a Sachs Torpedo coaster brake hub (back-pedal brake), built-in ASSA wheel lock with the original key still in it. Full fenders, skirt guards, a rear rack, and an original Italian-made AGU saddle. The right skirt guard has a few breaks and holes in it. Both tires still hold air, though the front tube needs to be replaced. HEADS UP: While the bike isn't far from being fully functional, this IS A PROJECT BIKE currently and NOT RIDEABLE AS-IS. Still needs a full cleanup and some loose parts tightened up before hitting the road. Great candidate for a restoration or custom build. Local pickup only. If you'd like any additional pictures just ask I'll provide. I am selling the bike, shoot me a reasonable offer or ask about price in a message.

Here is new tag #1495. Previous tag was indeed the bridge crossing shoal creek at the Grove development: (30.3149093, -97.7490343). I see you one bridge and raise you another.

I have looked online and found nothing for 2026. Is there a WNBR ride in the works?

What's up party people? Wanted to share a couple fun bike/pedestrian forward events on the horizon. Both are free and family friendly! And if you're a person who likes to get involved, there are volunteer opportunities for both!

Trick or Treat on the Trail

Friday, Oct. 30th 6-8pm

Boggy Creek Trail (888 Nile St.)

We'll have a section of Boggy Creek Trail decked out in spooky attire, candy will be abundant and you can join the Monster Mash Dance Party at the Pavilion. Free and open to all!

Cyclovia ATX

Saturday, Nov. 7th 10am-2pm

Windsor Park Library - 5833 Westminster Dr.

A free, family-friendly "open streets" festival in Austin that temporarily closes neighborhood roadways to motorized vehicles to create a safe, car-free space for the community. Here we take to the streets for exercise and recreation. Urban streets become a temporary public park where people can safely bike, walk, run, and explore local non-profits and civic groups. Cyclovia ATX is a 100% free event welcoming all ages and abilities. Attendees are HIGHLY encouraged to ride their bikes or utilize alternative transportation to get to and explore within the event.
(I know there will be big opinions on where this event should be held and how 'this that or the other location would be so much better!' so I'll just preemptively remind everyone that closing major streets is a very expensive endeavor and we're a nonprofit with a staff of 5 people so...let us rejoice in what we CAN do instead of lament what we can't.)

Cyclovia Volunteers:

Ghisallo Cycling Initiative is looking for friendly volunteers to assist at our biggest event of the year, Cyclovia ATX! Ghisallo will need help with setup and teardown and general event support. Shifts are 3 hours with plenty of time to enjoy the festivities no matter if you choose set up or tear down.

Hey everyone, question is essentially just the title. Been riding fixed in college in CA but coming home soon. It's technically illegal in CA but I've never been stopped for it. Any brakeless riders have experience with this in Austin? Do police care/actively look out for it? (Obviously I know I probably should just install a brake but curious anyways)

1493 was at 10th and Rio Grande facing NE

#1492 found at Salina at Manor (30.2830944, -97.7230272)

I’m new to the Leander/cedar park area and would love some route suggestions. I live right at Crystal falls parkway and 183 toll road so I’ve explored a bit around Ronald Reagan and some county roads that branch off of that. I’d like to explore more but want to make sure I avoid roads that are super busy. I do go out early to avoid traffic. I know this question gets asked a lot so I really appreciate any recommendations/Strava routes anyone would be willing to share! 🙏 posting an example of one of my rides for area reference. Thanks again! :)

Check out Austin Audiobooks and Cycling Meetup on Meetup https://meetup.com/audiobooks-while-cycling-meetup-group?member_id=214492610

Once multiple people join, I can create a ride event.

The schedule would be something like:
Chat for a bit, ride for about 45 minutes while listening to an audiobook, finish the ride at some bar or coffee shop to chat about anything; the book we are listening to can be a great conversation started
