Free Spirit, released

Places specializing in utility cycling in Austin:

• Freewheeling Bicycles
• The Peddler Bike Shop

That is, if you want a decent sized basket, or one without a prominent “Bell” logo these are the places to go.

would send the likes of me to Buck’s in Round Rock (I’ve only ever visited their Jollyville location which I know doesn’t deal in old stuff.) where you may find older, used and such parts which may include utility cycling accessories. I’d provide their handy-dandy link, but their site is flash-based. So the Buck’s in which you may be interested is at 1830 N. Mays.

… but get comfortable with the bike first, before adding anything else.
