My husband and I had just moved to Austin and decided to buy mountain bikes, but we had absolutely…read moreno idea where to start. Booking a tour with Brina ended up being one of the best decisions we made! She is incredibly knowledgeable, makes safety a priority, and somehow keeps the entire experience relaxed, fun, and encouraging. She took the time to build our confidence, explain techniques in a way that actually made sense, and before we knew it, we were riding trails we never thought we'd feel comfortable on. By the end of the tour, we finally felt like we belonged on a mountain bike instead of just trying to survive one! After the ride, Brina went above and beyond by sharing recommendations for local hangout spots, restaurants, and events happening around Austin, which made us feel even more excited about our new city. We had an absolute blast and are already looking forward to booking a more challenging tour with her. If you're visiting Austin or even if you're a local wanting to improve your skills while having an amazing time, this is an experience you don't want to miss. Highly recommend!

If you've hiked every other trail in Austin and want something off the beaten path (emphasis on…read moreoff), Stevenson Nature Preserve might be worth a look, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first or even second choice. There are no clear trail markers, signs, or directional arrows, so be prepared to feel a bit lost unless you're following a GPS map the whole time. I tried to find the education center and never located it. Instead, I stumbled across a homeless encampment, which made the area feel a little less safe than I'd like for a solo hike. The terrain itself isn't extreme, but you'll want hiking boots and long pants. It's not the most maintained or intuitive trail system. On the plus side, there's a large open field where locals bring their dogs off-leash, which gives park area a nice community vibe. This isn't an AllTrails gem. Skip it unless you're checking off every green space in Austin or just enjoy getting a little lost.

The track at Arbor Trails is a real blessing if you live nearby and like to walk, run, or jog. It…read moreprovides a scenic, meandering course which is tree-shaded for much of the distance except the frontages along William Cannon and Mopac. The thoughtful landscaping adds to the natural beauty of this once working ranch turned shopping center--just don't get too caught up in lala with your iPod and watch out for the prickly pear that periodically dot the course! One of the other blessings--and perhaps it's a mixed curse, is the course surrounds the retail center, which offers a variety of temptations to ruin your healthy habits--places like Kerbey Lane, Torchy's Tacos, Cheddar's, Chuy's, YoWay, Firehouse Subs, and Double Dave's. On the bright side, if you plan well, you can dovetail your trip to Costco with a low-impact exercise plan. The only downside--and it's a huge one--is that the track is often rendered inaccessible and inhospitable by the apparent negligence of the property management company. They have, at best, poor control over the sprinkler system, which can often be seen watering the grounds all day long on days when they're not allowed to water and even during downpours, thus turning much of track into a swampland from time-to-time. In some cases, ponds actually form around the sprinkler heads, creating natural fountains throughout the course. This, in turn, causes hazards on the trail where the course is badly rutted by ankle-twisting shallow arroyos that have formed due to runoff from the excess irrigation. All told, the situation makes it hard to plan an exercise regimen around their benign neglect, because you never know exactly when their irrigation system will turn Arbor Trails into Arbor Swamp; then, you're left with having to wait days for the water to subside and make the course semi-usable again. ********** UPDATE ********** Arbor Trails uses recycled runoff water to water the grounds. Therefore, they are not subject to City water waste restrictions. That explains why, during and after the recent torrential rains, they were able to continue running their sprinkler system non-stop for a solid week. Apparently there is no ordinance against egregious use of water to flood your property so long as you don't use City water to do it! Thanks once again to Austin's mayor and council for creating laws that penalize homeowners, but not businesses for overwatering. Businesses are free to run amok as long as they exploit all of the built-in loopholes in the water conservation ordinances.

They are near a winery and there's a pizza shop and a arcade all within walking distance. The owner is pretty young guy, so you got to love young entrepreneurs. Of all the places for a person to start a business, he decided to start it here in Austin even though he is from houston. They will sell the sit down tricycle type of bike, it's actually called a TerraBike. I brought three bikes and he got them in quick, the pricing was great, comparable to other bike shops. I got great updates about my bike especially when a part had to be ordered and that's no fault of his, I just had to wait for the part to get here. I did see that there were other people that were here the same day of the grand opening like me so hopefully word is getting out. They also sell other items inside if you are interested in accessories for your bike. I saw a wide variety of bikes in there so it doesn't really matter what you have, if it is a cycle, I'm sure that he can work on it. Every time I come in here I seem to learn something new about a bicycle because this guy is doing something from scratch. It's cool to see a artist working at his art /craft.
