regional cycling events?
Hey Austin. I'm collecting a list of cycling events and I don't want to miss anything. I'm looking for the more organized side of races, social rides, fundraisers, swap meets, film screenings, gravel, road, mountain, BMX, unicycle, tandem, recumbent, etc. A few I already have on my radar include:
- Frankenbike
- Breakfast Club
- Spinistry (might be too far away)
- Capital City Racing
- NICA
- Austin Ridge Riders/ IMBA
- Empire BMX/ Ninth Street/ Walnut BMX
Up what additional trees should I bark?

Long Ride Suggestion for Visitor
Hi, I'll be visiting family from LA over the Thanksgiving Holidays and was planning on renting a road bike and getting a long ride 70-100 miles in on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Looking for suggestions on what are good spots to ride through, places to avoid, good place for a rental and perhaps group ride that does distance on the weekend.

Safest route from Austin to Kyle? (Paved)
Looking for the safest route(s) from central Austin to Kyle. So far I’ve only tried west of 35 routes — congress to S 1st to 1626, and ride 1626 down to Kyle. Here’s some different trouble areas I’m looking for alternate routes to…
South 1st eventually completely loses its bike lane and side walk in what can be very high traffic areas leading down to William cannon.
Old San Antonio road I’ve found to have a lot of hostile traffic… had a truck almost take me out with their mirror several times… so I started taking 1626 out wide (west) instead… it’s high traffic but has a wide shoulder mostly.
I’m curious if the east of 35 routes would be safer? pleasant valley, go forth rd etc. basically just trying to get down to about bunton creek/35 area. Some of these I’d feel great riding on a Sunday morning, but come a week day and they’re nerve racking. Garmin generates an east of 35 path that takes goforth rd a really long ways… using google earth there’s no shoulder in site, so I haven’t taken this one yet - I may drive it first.

My Late Uncles Sentimental Bike Stolen
Hi, My uncle was an avid cyclist. He passed away in an accident and I received his bicycle. It was a fixed gear Holland bike from San Diego. I’m not a cyclist, but I know this bike was tricked out with customizations just for him. It was stolen out of my garage.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Is there a place where stolen bikes go to be sold? Where can I look?
I already filed a police report.
My heart is broken.

Travis County Safety Action Plan Survey
Travis County is currently developing a road safety action plan and would like your input. For more information, go to www.tctxsafestreets4all.com. Please forward this information on to others in our Travis County community you think would be interested.
Travis County, working with our partner cities and agencies, is developing the Travis County Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan (SAP) to eliminate or significantly reduce fatalities and serious injuries on all roads for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, public transportation users, and motorists.
Travis County will be working over the next several months to develop the safety plan through analyzing crash data, including crash locations, frequency, severity, and probable causes. We will also evaluate public input, develop potential solutions, and address equity concerns. Public input will play a key role in the development of the SAP. We need to hear from you! Please use the links below to take our survey and leave comments on an interactive map.

What bike store has the best selection of road cycling shoes?
My old ones are getting pretty run down and I’m right between two sizes and want to try turn on before buying. What local store has the best selection? Also is this the time of year last year’s models go on sale?
