Bike Story Night

Over the past few years, more than 100 storytellers have shared their bike journeys with us at Bike Story Night. ๐ŸšฒFrom funny to heartfelt, reflective to wild, each story has added to the magic that makes this community so special.
Iโ€™ve been wanting to highlight our former storytellers for a while now, not only to relive a little of that magic, but also to inspire future storytellers who might be curious about stepping up to the mic. Huge thanks to those who took the time to answer some questions, share reflections with me and of course share their story in person at our past events. ๐Ÿ™
Iโ€™ll be posting these features here and morse so on the blog (link in bio), where you can read the full write-ups.
๐ŸŒŸ Hereโ€™s our first few and stay tuned for sneak peek on our upcoming storytellers (submissions due sunday Sept 14th)

Bike Story Night

โœจ๐Ÿ’—Wow. Iโ€™m still catching my breath from all the magic that unfolded at our 20th Bike Story Night May 27th and our first ever hosted @austinyellowbike . Being surrounded by tools, wheels, frames, and a whole lot of history made the stories even better. The space itself reminded us how far weโ€™ve come and how deeply bikes are woven into Austinโ€™s roots. What better day to reflect than today on World Bicycle Day. Bikes connect us, move us, and build community. โœจ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿšฒ๐ŸŒ™
I hope you all know how committed I am to this project. My hope is to continue growing and I might even have a special announcement soon, but for now I'm soaking in what we've built here together ๐Ÿ’ซ

Bike Story Night

๐Ÿšฒโœจ Meet Cynthia โ€“ A Featured Storyteller at Bike Story Night # 20! ๐ŸŽค
Weโ€™re so excited to introduce Cynthia @_chiller_whale , one of our 5 featured storytellers for the upcoming Bike Story Night @austinyellowbike ! ๐Ÿ’›
Cynthiaโ€™s story starts with her grandpa in Mexico, who never owned a car, and her dad, a passionate BMXโ€™er. Years later, on a college trip to Costa Rica, she met a bike tourer who inspired her to take a leap. Before even owning a bike she decided to ride from Houston to Austin. That journey led her to join the cycling team at Texas State, where she eventually met her husband. ๐Ÿ’ซ
A little more about Cynthia:
13 years riding, she restores vintage wood furniture and loves thrifting. She also dabbles in photography and writing.

Bike Story Night is all about celebrating our bike life, the paths that brought us here, and the joy that keeps us pedaling. โœจ Whether you're a Featured Storyteller, a Wild Card, or just want to come hear some heartfelt stories!
