City wants you to bike to Manor (the road, not the suburb)
Friday, March 23, 2018 by Caleb Pritchard
The Economic Development Department will try to use pedal-power to unlock the potential of a burgeoning East Austin corridor. The department has decreed Saturday, March 31, to be Bike to Manor Road Day, an event designed to highlight the street’s relative bicycle and pedestrian friendliness and bring attention to the shops and restaurants along Manor. Some of those businesses will provide discounts, Austin’s Yellow Bike Project will offer free giveaways, and staff will hand out free bike maps and trip planning advice.
