Bike Path

This shows the entrance to the Lance Armstrong Bikeway from a feeder for the Hike and Bike trail. I stepped onto the biker's sacred place (no peds allowed) to take this picture but the bikeway isn't finished and there wasn't much risk. Of course, when the bikes are using this and come this way they will speed into an area where we are allowed and so I say to them: be careful! (I'm an ardent pedestrian but, I hope, also a great supporter of bicyclists who take care and obey the law.) Here is a map of the bikeway. This piece is near the underpass of Cesar Chavez that allows hikers and bikers to enter the main trail from the Shoal Creek trail.

We are participating in City Daily Photo's February 1st Theme Day: Paths and Passages.Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.

Our hike and bike was getting a ton of usage yesterday when we walked to Rainey Street and back. Bikes, strollers, dog walkers, joggers and just plain walkers. It was a beautiful day and lots of people were enjoying this lovely resource.

  3. Sadly, Jilly, Austin has no place reserved for pedestrians.
