Cycling: Austin Bike Map


[photo (by WDFloyd):]


After my very long hiatus from cycling, I realized that I had virtually no idea about all of the various bike lanes and safe bike routes around Austin. Fortunately, the good folks at Mellow Johnny's are providing a download-able bike map of Austin. Route difficulty is indicated by color code and off-road trails are marked. Also marked are barriers to bicycling.

I've been riding about half of the time on trails, such as the Barton Creek Greenbelt and the Shoal Creek Hike & Bike, and about half of the time on streets in West Austin and in the downtown area. I've used the bike map to find some good street routes and to plan out some prospective rides combining streets and trails.
