Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and yes, even bicycles jockey for space when the asphalt footprint gets crowded.

There are two white bicycles in South Austin, and the only two that I am aware of in the city. One of them is on South First Street in what I consider an extremely dangerous road for bicycling. I don't know the particulars of that one but I am glad it is there. The bike pictured here is on South Cong...
