As far as I know, the Lend Your Legs program is an Austin based event. They might have something similar in your area under a different name. Look into it and let me know if you guys have a similar program.

It does seem odd doesn’t it, Joel. I have gone on record before as saying “All the worlds problems would be solved if all people rode a bike”. I’m currently striving for a Car-Less or very Car-Light life and looking to get there soon. We are part of one big fantastic bicycle community, aren’t we?

What a great bicycle program being done in Austin. Lend your legs should take place Nationwide if it isn’t already. I’m in Florida and I don’t know of a program like that here.

Nice pictures.

I’ve been to Austin once, but it was just an overnight stay and no cycling was involved. The picture essay shows familiar images, as the Denver area is big on cycling too. I guess the geography changes but the culture stays the same. Refreshing if you think about it really, I can’t think of many activities that invite such camaraderie among its participants. Heck, I’ve managed to make friends throughout the world just talking about cycling and I’m a dude that loves to ride for no particular reason other than riding. Break down in a car on the side of a highway and you’re the A-hole that’s backing up traffic, no one is going to stop and help. Break down on a bike trail and you get two gear heads (meant with respect and admiration) having a heated discussion over the best way to fix the problem. People helping other people, smiling, laughing and having a good time……seems odd not to want to ride a bike.

Thanks for the sweet shots….
