The new bikes with electric assist that we got in Austin have really opened things up for us. It makes it much more feasible to bike downtown, even from Beech Grove. We found a nice, low-traffic road to bike on before joining up with the Cultural Trail in Fountain Square. From there, it's a super quick ride downtown. We've really enjoyed being able to bike downtown (enjoying the ride, instead of fighting traffic), have dinner, walk around, see Pacers games, and bike home.

We were shocked that the first time we rode downtown we lucked into CHEAP tickets for the Pacers playoff game. Yes, it was already halftime, but we had a blast, and it seemed like there isn't a bad seat in the house. |

We biked to Mass Ave., an area of downtown we like very much. |
