San Antonio Ride 10/19/2014

On Sunday, me and John went to San Antonio and rode our bikes from my sister's house to the Riverwalk. We didn't know where we were going, we just typed in the address and wrote down the instructions and started riding our bicycles. It was about 13 miles away. We rode most of it on the sidewalk because there weren't any bike lanes, really. The sidewalk was kinda rough. I don't want to sound like a city-snob, but I am SO grateful for our awesome bike lanes in Austin. Compared to San Antonio, the lanes are bold and bright and EVERYWHERE! I think the trip was nice, because it helped me appreciate my city's streets. 

 This is the first thing I saw when I walked down the stairs with my bicycle. There were lots of people there on the riverwalk, so I eventually just walked my bike to get through the crowds. I need to get a new bell. Lost my last one on a social ride. Thought some kids might find it and have fun with it, so I didn't go back to get it when I heard it fall off my bike.

We ate fajitas at some place I think called Ritas. It was hard to tell where we were at, because for one, I am not observant, and two, there are restaurants smooshed together that all look the same with outside patios and bright colors. I really liked the fajitas, mainly because I forgot to eat a substantial meal. It was getting kinda late, and I was getting kinda hangry. 

Good thing we got a table outside facing our bikes! I rode the Fuji single speed. It was difficult, and whoever said San Antonio doesn't have hills, they must have never gone the streets I went down. I mean up. People call it Flatantonio, but I guess that's depending on which part you are in?
