AUSTIN: See how the city's Dutch-inspired cycle paths provide mobility options at SXSW

The late afternoon SXSW scene from Monday, March 11, 2024 - Love seeing so much vibrancy downtown. Come ride with me and experience the sights and sounds as well.
#SXSW2024

This short tour packs a lot of world-class Dutch-inspired cycle network facilities in just about 8 minutes, including a curb and parking-protected bike lane along 3rd Street, transitioning to a protected bi-directional cycle track on Trinity Street, and then the separated all ages and abilities cycle path along 4th Street passing the convention center, the Downtown transit station and the Plaza Saltillo transit-oriented development (TOD) area.

Background:
Hi Everyone! My name is John Simmerman, and I’m a health promotion and public health professional with over 30 years of experience. Over the years, my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization in how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.

Since 2010, I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be while striving to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities."

The Active Towns Channel features my original video content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them.

Thanks once again for tuning in! I hope you find this content helpful and insightful.
