Circuit of the Americas Development Updates

[KevinFromTexas]

I'm one of those die hard concert goers that gets there by bicycle. When I rode downtown for the fireworks display, I went to the Zilker Clubhouse. On the way back Barton Springs was naturally a parking lot. There was actual gridlock at Barton Springs and Riverside. And instead of sitting in traffic behind rows of cars which were puttering out smelly exhaust and heat, I followed two other bicycles and we rode down Barton Springs between the east bound lanes. I'm sure some drivers were thinking we were crazy since the traffic, buses and all, was moving some. Riding on the sidewalk was not an option since they were filled with pedestrians. Anyway, a traffic jam that would have taken an hour to get through by car took me maybe 10 minutes by bike.

The bike racks at ACL are always insanely full. I just about had trouble finding a place to lock up for the free SXSW show at Auditorium Shores last time. People were locking up their bikes to the railing overlooking the turtle pond at the Palmer Events Center. That's where I ended up locking up.

I like your avatar. It looks great.
