Bicycle Month

To kick off Bike Month, the Austin Public Library and the Yellow Bike Project present a Bike-In-Book-Swap on Saturday, May 1 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the Terrazas Branch, 1105 E. Cesar Chavez Street. The Yellow Bike Project is a volunteer organization that runs a community bike shop and educates kids and adults about bicycle use and maintenance. The celebration will include a book swap, pannier making workshop (to carry your books), fresh fruit, and live music by the McCallum Steel Drum Band. Additionally, the Austin Cycling Association will be on hand to discuss the services they provide to the biking community. To wrap it all up, the Austin Bike Zoo will parade from the Terrazas Branch to Webberville.
