YBP Open Yard Sat. Nov. 22nd 2-4pm Austin City Run-Off Last day to register November 17th Early Voting Dec. 1-12 Election Day Part Deux! Dec. 16th

Join Our Open House Yard! Over the past couple of months, volunteers have mulched, seeded, weeded, planted and fabricated to both restore ecological function and beautify the wooded hilltop that is the entrance to the Yellow Bike Project. Join us on Saturday, November 22nd from 2 to 4pm for an open yard, enjoy some refreshments and say hi to your neighbors! A special thanks to Mateo, Pete and Jennifer for organizing and coordinating this effort and to everyone else who pitched in! Go vote....again! If you're in one of the many districts having a run-off vote on December 16th, you still have time to make your voice heard and let Austin know that you care about transportation and cycling issues. Bike Austin recently put out its endorsements for Austin City Council and Mayor if you're looking for some guidance. As a 501c3, we can't make any endorsements ourselves, but we can say that we sure like bicycles. YBP Got Itself an Instagram We've been on Facebook for a while now, and now you can find us on Instagram. Why? We'll be putting new bikes we have for sale up every week so that when you're friends are all like "Where do I get a bike?" you can tell them. Austin Yellow Bike Project, that's where. Tire & Tube Recycling @ YBP Starting this month, Yellow Bike will be picking up where Jack & Adams left off and accepting your old, dry rotted, skid-through tires and tubes. We'll be working with Bicycle Re-Cycle and providing a place for drop-offs for the future.
