I just wanted to let everyone know about the Taste of Downtown Tour my site is presenting this Saturday afternoon: https://livingontwowheels.org. This is the first in a three part social ride series I am putting on as a test for a new concept bike store in Austin dedicated to the simple pleasure of riding with friends, not competition or workouts.

Whether you are looking for a fun way to get your significant other or friends on a bike or just a change of pace, the weather is going to be perfect on Saturday, and we'd love to see you out this weekend. All food and drink, guides, and bike valet are included in the tour, and if you register before Saturday, you'll save $5. Register with a friend & you'll save $5 more!

We'll also have some great Dutch and cargo bikes to test ride and will draw from participants to give away an Electra Amsterdam Royal at the end of the series.

About the ride:

We'll start at our ride host BoConcept at 430 W 2nd St in the 2nd Street District and head to Chupacabra for some Tex-Mex and Margarita samplers. Then we'll ride to Frank for some artisan sausages finishing at Halcyon Coffee House for coffee and desert before returning to BoConcept. Total ride distance approximately 8 miles round trip. All food and drink samplers are included in the ride as well as coupons for future visits to our host restaurants.

OTHER INFO: Please bring a bike in working order. Our ride guides will have spare tubes and basic repair equipment should you run into trouble. In addition to food and drink on the tour, bottled water will be available to participants. Please bring ID if you plan to sample alcoholic beverages at the stops.

Last Saturday, we had over 50 people join us for the Taste of Downtown Tour with folks in their 20s to an 80 year old rider. The cyclotourists from the Path Less Pedaled also joined us, and the feedback was people had a great time! Here's the full ride report: https://austinontwowheels.org/2010/04...pedal-up-next/
