Random Thoughts from the Life of a Car-Free Bicyclist in Austin, Texas<\/a><\/h2>\n

A DUDE ABIKES | adudeabikes.com<\/h3>\n

ARR got a grant from REI to start building those trails. That process has now started.<\/p>\n

We will be building two of the 5 trails shown – marked I1 (Intermediate 1) and Return. These are intended to be Flow Trails. There is not enough elevation to call them Downhill Trails but there …<\/p>\n
