this is life in austin

Friday is Bike (or Walk) to Work Day!

As a freelance writer, I work out of my home office. And my brother stole my bike anyway. But if I had an office outside of my house OR a bike OR both, I would definitely be biking to work tomorrow.

In honor of Bike to Work Day, the Austin Cycling Association is coordinating free breakfast that morning at the following locations:
Whole Foods (6th and Lamar) (Plus minor bike repair and adjustments by REI bike mechanics)
City Hall Plaza (sponsored by City of Austin employees)
One Texas Center (505 Barton Springs Rd.)
Texas Bicycle Coalition (1902 E. 6th)
Mellow Johnny’s (4th and Nueces) <—this is Lance Armstrong’s new bike shop/commuter mecca, I can’t wait to check it out.
Wheatsville Coop (3101 Guadalupe)
Bicycle Sport Shop (517 S. Lamar)
Shoal Creek Blvd. at the Far West Bridge (sponsored by Clif Bar)
Music City Cycles (6301 W. Parmer Ln., #504)
Jo’s Coffee (1300 S. Congress, sponsored by Jo’s and Clif Bar)
Freewheeling Bicycles (24th and San Gabriel. Free commuter coffee mugs while they last! If distance is a problem for you, park in Freewheeling’s ample parking lot, have a bite of breakfast, and ride the rest of the way.)

So get your fit on, get some grub, AND help the environment … win-win-win!
