Cyclovia ATX
Cyclovia ATX is a free open to the public all-ages, all-abilities, family-friendly Living Streets event produced by Ghisallo Cycling Initiative. While the event has a focus on bicycling, it includes a wide range of activities, performances, and showcases involving mobility, sustainability, and community.
Think of it as a festival of human-powered transportation with lots of other fun activities and community focused engagements mixed in. Based at the Windsor Park Branch Library (5833 Westminster Dr, Austin, TX 78723) in the Windsor Park Neighborhood, the event includes half a mile of Living Streets (closed to motorized vehicles), a 1 mile Bike Parade, live music, and food trucks.
Nothing at the event is for sale, and all of the Activation Partners are providing 100% free products, services, and activities. Come out to Cyclovia ATX, and spend time not money.
