Bicycle Sport Shop presents: Urban Farm Bicycle Tour

This sounds really awesome. For all you "green" types who cream yourselves at the very mention of the word "sustainability", here's a ride that seems right up your alley.

It's a bicycle tour of almost a dozen of Austin's biggest urban farming operations, where you get to learn how they do their thing as well as sample some of the local produce. There's no mention of a price on the website so I believe it's free Turns out it's $25 for an individual, and $40 for a family, plus you have to register and fill out an online waiver. Ouch. Food better be damn good for $25 bucks. This ride is led by the ladies of the Austin Flyers Cycling Team, so at least the company will be pleasant.

There are three routes, a 10 mile, 14 mile, and 24 mile, and correspondingly The Main Event send off is 10 a.m. from the Downtown Market; 9 a.m. from Bicycle Sport Shop South Lamar, and 9:30am from Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market.
