  • This is a POV biking tour of Austin, Texas. It runs from the state capitol and follows the Butler Trail up and down Lady Bird Lake. We heard a lot about Terry Black's Barbecue, so the ride ends there. If you like this one, the look for my future video on Portland, which will similarly cover the waterway, its bridges, and points of interest.

    Exploring by bike is the best, fast enough to get places and slow enough to see surroundings 👍

      You nailed it. You see, smell, and hear so much more. If it’s safe, then it’s a magical experience.

      It’s a bold claim and I don’t know of a better one either. But I’m on a mission to find it if it’s out there! Have you ridden the Guerrero or Shoal Trails? It seems like the Butler Trail, those connections, and the planned AAA network will make Austin one of North America’s best bike cities.

      I haven't seen the Katy Trail in Dallas, but I know they have a Katy Trail in Missouri that I would like to cover one day. My video on the Fee Fee Greenway ends near that portion of the Katy Trail.

    Haven’t biked in Austin before. Would love to try!
    Did you say “backdrop” or “bat drop” :) Getting a little guano on yourself is probably good luck, right?! 🍀

      I don’t recommend the guano! Haha. It was the backdrop of the sunset. Way better than droppings!
