Thanks for the recommendations! I hadn't even thought about a bike on this trip, just didn't realize Austin was so bike friendly and there were trails right out of downtown. Had I known, I would've tried to bring a bike with me. I did get a B-cycle 3-day pass, which was a reasonable $18. The bikes themselves took a bit to adjust to, but ended up being alright getting me around. They don't seem to be consistently maintained though. At a docking station, I'd have to check tire pressures to select a bike as most had too low pressure to be safely ridden imo. I explored downtown and East Austin a bit by bike and did a loop of Lady Bird Lake. The heat wasn't something I was used to, so I got in less rides than I wanted, but it was fun. Austin is definitely now on my list of places to visit with a bike in tow. David
