One of the most wonderful institutions of Austin bike culture is the Austin Bike Zoo. Their whimsical creations like the Bike Snake and pedal powered butterflies and bats are a unique addition to any parade.

Back in 2009, Austin Bike Zoo produced a 2 wheeled version of Alice in Wonderland that was a highlight of that year’s Bike Month activities. They are now putting their creative juices back to work to take on Shakespeare by bike with a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. To make this happen, they are looking for financial help from the cycling and art community via a Kickstarter campaign. They need to raise $3500 by March 16. Please visit the page and make a contribution if you want to see something really cool later this year.
