Starting at Performance Bicycle North (2900 W Anderson Ln), join us for a 20 mile urban bike ride thru north Austin neighborhoods to some of our favorite holiday shopping destinations. We'll skip the crowded malls and big box stores, and head to local arts-and-crafts venues such as Hope Farmers Market https://www.hopefarmersmarket.org/ , Cherrywood Art Fair https://chulaleague.org/cherrywood-art-fair/home/, and the Blue Genie Art Bazaar https://bluegenieartbazaar.com/.
We expect to ride at a pace of about 12 mph, and stop for 20 minutes or so at each of the 3 featured destinations. Food and drink will be available for purchase, or bring your own.
Riders must wear a helmet and obey traffic laws ( http://www.biketexas.org/en/infrastructure/texas-bicycle-laws ). Your bike must be in good working condition and you should carry ID, money, cell phone, water, tools, and lock.
Weather Status: If roads are wet or rain is likely, or the expected temperature is below 45 deg F, the bike ride may be cancelled. A decision would be made on this page at 9:30am.
