There are many ways to tour this town. Here are some options:
tour by duck
If you like riding around town in a large vehicle and quacking at people, then Austin Duck Adventures is for you. They roll you around the major sights and sounds and then plop you into the drink. Be sure to wear your feathers!

tour by segway
If ducks ain’t your thing, then try, perhaps, the Segway, the goofy two-wheeled self-propelled personal transporter. I was once at a conference downtown when I saw a bum on a Segway being chased by police on mountain bikes. Suh-wheat! Be sure to wear a helmet!

tour by bike
Austin is loaded with hike and bike trails, especially down by the lake. Rent a bike from Mellow Johnny’s, Lance Armstrong’s local bike business, and put your pedals to the mettles.
