Where does the kitty keep all her zines? Her purrse. And where does she learn how to make her own zines? At the Austin Paw-blic Library. You can be just like her by attending this free and fun night where you’ll make zines – short for magazines, they’re handmade and highly visual – along with other creative folks. Purr-haps try one on the theme of Bike to Work Month or contribute to APL’s collaborative zine, CATegories PURRsonality, which focuses on beloved pets. Meet on the sixth floor for the workshop, and stop by the fifth floor to check out the library’s extensive collection of zines for inspo. – Kat McNevins

I’ll admit it: I don’t believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein, or Superman. All I wanna do is bicycle! Bike Month ATX promises two-wheeler fun for the whole month of May. Break out the 10-speed, the recumbent, the cruiser, and join your fellow cyclists in the last nice weather days in Austin. There’s bike polo on May 5, or an all-level ride around Walnut Creek on the 19th. Help with meal delivery on the 22nd or pedal under a full moon on the 24th. Find pretty much every kind of bike fun under the sun (and moon!) at bikemonthatx.com, because those bicycle races? They’re coming your way. – James Scott
