If you are in Austin on a Thursday, I recommend Shady Grove in the summer. Free music (usually folk, blues or Texas Country) under huge pecan trees, AWESOME hamburgers and if you like margaritas the Shady Thang is my favorite. Sixth St is the main party/bar scene, but now the warehouse district is also coming up. What kind of music do you like? There is Blues on the Green every other Wednesday at Zilker Park- FREE and often semi big names. You can pretty much find a show any night of the week, usually for free.
If you want to ride a trail and get a true Austin experience check out the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail. Random musicians and artists have been known to be along side the trail, which runs by Lady Bird Lake.
I may not be in town that week, but if I am I would love to ride with you. I get off work at 4:00 but probably could cut out a little early. I live NW of Austin on the cusp of the hill country (more rolling out this way), I can give you some suggestions for the area. Austin is a little bit pricey but in my VERY biased opinion the best part of Texas.
