10 Destinations That Are Best Explored On Bicycle

7. Austin, Texas
Austin is the capital city of Texas, U.S. and the seat of Travis County. The first thing that comes to one's mind when the word Texas is mentioned is its music scene and the yummy tacos you get for breakfast. Though Austin isn't really famous for exploring the city on a cycle, it has a deep rooted connection with cycling. Seven time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong hails from Austin. Given this connection a lot of tourist who visit Austin jump onto a cycle and explore the city on two wheels.

Not to Miss: A cycle ride on the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail is a must do for everyone. One ride along a scenic trail which meanders through lush green parks and on the banks of peaceful lakes. Another biker's paradise in Austin is the Zilker Metropolitan Park which consists of a lot of woodlands which lend themselves perfectly for cycle rides. If you want to get away from the city you could always make your way to Mount Bonnel which is a beautiful park looming almost 800 feet over Austin. If you want to do something closer to the local flavor that Austin is famous for, then peddle of from South of Congress (SoCo) to Congress Avenue over the Congress Street Bridge and finally towards 6th street where you will find the famous music venues lining the avenue.
