BIKING IS PART OF AUSTIN
The TECH 3443 campus offers many ways to keep your body fit and healthy. Biking is a healthy, green alternative for human transit. The Walnut Creek Trail System runs along the back of the property and provides direct access to south and north Austin.
Whether you chose an electric bike, ride service or have an individual peddler, bikes are part of the Austin culture and will be central to TECH 3443. We have teamed up with BikeTexas.org to provide access to trails all over Austin. Austin has 315 sq. miles of bike paths.
SOUTHERN WALNUT CREEK TRAIL
The Southern Walnut Creek Trail is Austin’s first Urban Trail. The trail is open for public use and is over 7 miles of concrete trail. There are several creek crossings and trail heads throughout the length of the trail. In 2004, Congressman Lloyd Doggett, an avid cyclist and member of the Congressional Bike Caucus personally obtained Committee approval for the trail. Additionally, Robin Stallings with BikeTexas helped fund the trail as part of the reauthorization of national transportation legislation.
