Grout & About: An Austin Mosaic Ride

Join us for a one-of-a-kind bike ride through Austin’s most colorful corners—a guided tour celebrating the city’s vibrant mosaic art scene. We’ll fuel up with tacos and coffee in the courtyard of Eastside Pedal Pushers before we cruise at an easy, social pace, stopping along the way to explore dazzling public mosaics tucked into parks, neighborhoods, and unexpected places. Think shimmering tiles, hidden gems, and the stories behind the artists who helped shape Austin’s creative soul.

But this isn’t just a look-don’t-touch kind of ride.

We’ll wrap up the tour with an option to get hands-on at The Mosaic Workshop, where you’ll get to channel all that inspiration into your own original piece. No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to get a little creative. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a finished mosaic that’s uniquely yours.

✨ What to expect:

• Pre-ride tacos and coffee to fuel up!
• A relaxed, guided bike ride through Austin
• Stops at iconic and lesser-known mosaic artworks
• Art history, local stories, and plenty of photo ops
• A beginner-friendly mosaic workshop to end the day

Whether you’re an art lover, a casual cyclist, or just looking for a fun way to experience Austin differently, this ride is for you. Come solo or bring a friend—either way, you’ll roll away inspired (and maybe a little sparkly).

***The tour itself will be approximately 2-2.5 hours and will include a brief snack stop. The route will loop back to the start point to drop off any riders not continuing on to the Mosaic Workshop. If you're opting in to the hands-on workshop, expect to spend about 1-1.5 hours at Mosaic Workshop creating your masterpiece. Art makers will be responsible for guiding themselves onward from Mosaic Workshop once they're finished.
