Street Art Bike Tour
Saturday, November 9, 2013
11:00am until 1:00pm in CST
We’re bike-touring 4 of the best murals in town, with a docent intro to each! It’s the Dallas Contemporary’s Alive for 35 anniversary weekend! They sponsored the creation of each of these in some way. And we are so thankful they did.
We’ll start and end at the Dallas Contemporary, so you can bring you bike down if you won’t be biking over from home. Either way we’ll see works by Shepard Fairey, JMR, Sour Grapes, and Faile. Then the Tutta’s Pizza food truck will meet us at the end.

There aren’t any signs to this effect, but if you simply follow along the sidewalk it will lead you right to where the trail picks back up. There is part of the trail off to your right, as well, that many choose to jump on turn the loop into a figure 8.
Although most of the trail is well shaded, there are a few stretches that put you out in the open, so if it’s a hot, sunny day you’ll have to pedal faster. One such open bit of really tight singletrack brings you by the fence of one of the ball fields, and then leads you back into the trees. There is a wood beam to cross over in case the ground is muddy there, which is a nice touch in case the trails are…
