Ride along as we explore the Red Line Parkway and enjoy several urban parks in East Austin and Downtown.

Registration link is coming soon. Sign up for email updates to be the first to know when it's available.

Join us on this casual 8-12 mile ride along the Red Line Parkway, Boggy Creek Trail, Crosstown Bikeway, Shoal Creek Trail, and through Downtown. We’ll visit several parks, including Boggy Creek Greenbelt, Parque Zaragoza, Waterloo Park, Texas Capitol grounds, Shoal Creek Greenbelt, Pease Park, Republic Square, and Brush Square. The 12-mile ride can be shortened to 8 miles at the end by taking the CapMetro Red Line from Downtown Station back to MLK Jr. Station.

Those who have pre-registered for a complimentary bike from Yellow Bike Project will be fitted for their bike ahead of the ride, at 9:00am. We will depart from MLK Jr. Station at 10:00am, and return times may vary depending on the route you choose.

(Though the main bike ride departs from MLK Jr. Station, we will have a timed stop at Downtown Station so that participants arriving on the first southbound train can join the bike ride departing Downtown Station no sooner than 11:17am.)

This ride is intended to be casual and fun. All ages are welcome, though ages 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult. All wheels welcome!
