South Austin: 78748 to 78754
texyak writes "I'm looking for a fast, safe bicycle commute from South Austin (Slaughter & Bilbrook, to be exact) up to Ridgepoint Drive near the 183/290 interchange in Northeast Austin. I've mapped a couple of routes that are around 16-18 miles each way, but I'd have to use Cameron Rd and 290 East and I'm frankly a little leery of both. However, if it has to be done, it has to be done. The shortest route I could come up with is here (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1992316). I'd really appreciate any input and advice from the rest of the highly knowledgeable and experienced cycling commuters out there. Thanks in advance!"

North Austin: Arboretum to Round Rock
Texas-Todd writes "I live in NW Hills near the Arboretum and work in Round Rock. The route I take is Steck to Burnet, Burnet to Braker, Braker to Metric, Metric to Parmer, Parmer to Lamar, Lamar up to Howard (you have to go on the side of the road to the actual light), cross under the bridge and take the feeder road the rest of the way up to Greenlawn (and over to Dell for me). The best areas with a bike lane are Metric and Parmer...the rest of them you are riding with traffic so be careful. On the way home I cross I-35 by taking Greenlawn back to the feeder of I-35 north, ride up to the intersection and take the turn around bridge. I head down the feeder back to Howard and retrace my route to NW Hills."

Northwest Austin: Anderson Mill Bicycle Lane
gv82 writes "I just started commuting to work once or twice per week from Steiner Ranch (on 620 just south of 2222) to Mopac & Duval. The new bicycle lane on Anderson Mill makes this ride possible. I considered it too dangerous prior to constructions finishing on Anderson Mill.
Thank you to anyone that had a hand in getting a bicycle lane put in on Anderson Mills!"

North Austin: Pflugerville to Loop 360 and US 183
Joel writes "From austin bikes
I have a friend who wants to bike from Pflugerville (say the corner of
Heatherwilde and the Pflugerville Loop) to the Whole Foods in Gateway
Plaza. I've done this ride once or twice and can offer suggestions, but
maybe someone who lives in the area has some specific suggestions for
the best way to go without getting run over?
And Kevin Corry replied...

Looking for a good repair shop in Austin
bikeman31415 writes "My sister is working long hours and commuting 20 miles each way to work by bike so she never really has time to service her bike or be without it for any length as well. She has tried a couple repair shops in town but she has not been happy with the quality or timelyness of their work. Can anyone recommend a good repair shop in Austin. The bike is a Cannondale touring/commuting bike."

Northwest Austin: Cedar Park to Loop 360 Bridge avoiding FM 2222
ProtectiveWife writes "My husband is going to start commuting to work 3 days a week. We live near El Salido Pkwy and 620 in Cedar Park and he commutes to past the bridge on Loop 360. When driving, the best route is 620 to 2222 to 360, but people are maniacs on 2222! They drive 75mph coming down a hill stretch that has no shoulder whatsoever. It doesn't look quite as dangerous going back (North), but probably still not the safest.
Is the best route going to be south along Anderson Mill, Pickfair Drive and Spicewood Springs as shown here:
Northwest Routes
or does anyone know of another good way to circumvent 2222?"
