East Austin: Central Austin to Travis County Expo Center
Joel writes "On austin bikes, someone asked
We plan to ride out to the Maker Faire the weekend
of Oct. 20-21, and wanted to check in with you guys on route info. Its on
decker lane at Walter E Long Lake/Park.
I found this - http://bicycleaustin.info/getaround/route-elgin.html
Which has some good info - but was wondering if anyone has ridden out this
way recently and can comment on a good route from central austin.
And John Anderson replied..."

East Austin: Berkman & Duval
Joel writes "Saw this opinion posted on the austin bikes list
I just started riding on Berkman Drive recently when I discovered I could avoid the scary 51st street bridge with the low railings by cutting through on Mueller and going past Dell Children?s Hospital, but I do notice a difference. I?ve been cycling up and down Duval a lot since April and there are lots of cars parked in the bicycle lane and I?ve never had a problem taking the lane on Duval.
I?m guessing it is because there are so many bicyclists going up and down Duval street as opposed to Berkman where there are a lot less bicyclists so people have had years to get their knickers in a twist and get over it so bicyclists are just an accepted part of their commutes which supports your argument that we need to stay on the streets as much as possible so they can learn that we are here to stay.

East Austin: Riverside Sidewalk
Joel writes "I saw this evaluation of Riverside
My commute to work runs the length of Riverside. The
recent rains have caused the grass to really grow and
the sidewalk is no longer visible.
I see other bike-commuters who use the same route and
I invite them to contact the city about cutting the
grass. It isn't nagging and whining. The city doesn't
know that there that much bike traffic on Riverside.
The sidewalk is five feet wide at some parts and
seven feet wide at others. It makes for a safe and
pleasant ride.

East Austin: Road Update on SH130, FM973, Hog Eye Road, Loyola Ln
Joel writes "John Anderson wrote on the austin bikes list
FYI, for those of you who ride East of Austin. They've nearly finished the junction of SH130 and FM973. The old Hog Eye road exit is now permanently closed, and the new overpass and exit to Nez Perce Trace is open. It's actually fairly cycling-friendly. You cross SH130 on a wide, 360-style shoulder.
Bloor Road is still closed - and looks a long way from opening. Some other cyclists have told me Blue Bluff East of Manor is now passable by bike... though it still has a road-closed sign. I haven't tried it.
Considering the Loyola bike lanes, I would now rate out East as quite accessible by a bike commuter. There are still sections of 973 with no shoulder... but if this is a preview of things to come, it appears that will be changing soon.
