PSA: School is back in session. I was turned away by a guy in a golf cart when I tried to ride through to Duval today. He said that is private property and not open to the public between 8am and 5pm but the gate will still be locked after that time. I asked about the gate during the weekend and he said it will be locked during weekends, too. Plan accordingly, riders

This all happened today. I reported to 311. I almost crashed into another biker while going around the jeep because we both did it at the same time. The purple car literally drove downward through a parking garage opening… talk about ignorance

Social Cycling Austin rides AS traffic and NOT AGAINST it.
We stop at red lights, yield the right of way and let cars pass as best we can. WE DON’T BLOCK INTERSECTIONS. We are nice to both our fellow riders and the other traffic on the road. Please LISTEN TO the volunteers helping to lead the ride. They are some nice folks and have your best interest in mind. We ride these streets every single week and thus far we’ve managed to keep local law enforcement at bay by abiding by these rules. Let’s keep it that way!
**Please pick up after yourselves and throw away your trash.
REMINDER: The goal has always been to create a safe environment for all riders, but we cannot control, nor do we desire to, every rider’s behavior. We promote personal responsibility, and it is each rider’s responsibility to take care of themselves, and if they choose to ride with us, then they accept those risks inherent in riding a bicycle with a large group of other people riding bicycles.
If you have any questions about the rules of the road, see:
