The friends that say its hot from April to September are exaggerating, in my opinion. It doesn't get truly (100) hot until July. Yes, we can get a heat wave in April, but its short lived. May is pleasant, and so is most if not all of June. July and August are simply our 'winter' here. Those are the months I hibernate. This was the first summer I rode my bike to work and I was a bit concerned going into the commitment, but it was unfounded. My body did what it does best - acclimate. I thought it was awesome. Because I was outdoors more than most of my friends, on a daily basis riding my bike, the summer seamed mild. Yes, I was ready for the 'cold' front that brought the lovely temps Austin is known for, but overall - I'll ride my bike next summer!
Public Transport is getting better. Cap Metro is putting in commuter rail from Leander to downtown, and installing an electric trolley that will snake around the booming East side into downtown. The city is progressive and looking forward. There is room for input.

Glad you liked our fair city! :)
