Thanks, Steph -- very helpful. Last time we were in Austin we stayed at Habitat Suites near Highland Mall. I liked it a LOT but the prices seem to be going up and I'm not sure we'll want to pay that this time.

A question about speed. Will there be slow riders on this kind of ride? You know 10mph or less? I have no idea what our speed will be by then, probably okay, but right now we're slow! LOL!
