Austin bike borrowing or rental

[Gino Zahnd]

Folks,

Myself and my business partner will be in Austin for SXSW starting
tomorrow, and we're thinking that getting away from downtown a bit
each evening will be a good thing.

So the question is: does anyone have a bike or two that we could
borrow? Beaters are perfectly fine. They'll be locked in our hotel
room, unless we're heading out to one of the central neighborhoods to
explore and eat.

If no loaners make their way to us, do you have recommendations for
bike rental shops?

Thanks,
Gino

Geno-

Check out the Austin Yellow Bike Project:

They probably have something you could borrow.  Very fun people, too.

Cheers- Mike, fondly remebering my days in Austin, in So. Boston, Mass

What size do ya'll ride? I'm guessing my 68cm bikes are too tall but I
could ask around. There's also rentals from Bicycle Sport Shop and I
talked to a couple of guys at NAHBS that picked up bikes on Craigslist
for the week for around $100. Kind of a pain to hook up to buy though.
Come to think of it, you might try calling Ozone Bike Dept. and seeing
if they'd rent out one of their used bikes.

I'm a 58 riv-wise, and he's a 54-56.

Thanks for the info!

Hey Gino,

I'd highly recommend Eastside Pedal Pushers. The owner, Lee Gresham
is very much inline with the Rivendell cycling ethos.

I'll second BeardPapa's post. Lee is a super cool guy and is well
connected with the bike scene including yellow bike. He may very well
put you onto the right track.
