Board voting set to happen in October

AUSTIN, TX (August 2019) Since February 2018 Bike Austin has been going through a restructuring. First with a single new staff member, and since around the beginning of 2019 with no staff. Bike Austin has volulnteers that have been supporting its efforts and it had large, citywide attendance at its Bike to Work Day event. Time flies when embarking on adventure, as they say, and Bike Austin is celebrating 10 years holding its annual Hottest Day of the Year Ride this year.

Bike Austin will be holding its 10th Annual Hottest Day of the Year ride on Saturday, August 17th at 2:00pm. Cyclists can meet at Bicycle Sport Shop located at 517 S. Lamar in Austin. The ride will is expected to be like years past meandering through neighborhoods and stopping by pools and splashpads. This year's ride is ending with a pizza party at The ABGB located at 1305 W. Oltorf in south Austin and expects to arrive around 5:00pm. This event is free and open to the public.
