Do you have a strange compulsion to “get involved”? Wanna get up close and personal with Austin ISD’s board of trustees as they consider increasing property taxes? Revising the district scorecard? Mastering Lone Star Governance? Alas, your opportunities are dwindling! Scurry down to take in one of the last meetings of the board before summer break and listen in rapt silence as the trustees pose question after question to the harried, conscientious, and acronymically gifted AISD administrators. Hours of compelling public discourse await! – Brant Bingamon

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

This program from the city of Austin, run by Farmshare Austin, has opened new market locations. There are now six weekly markets around town that sell Texas-grown produce, eggs, honey, and other groceries all at reduced prices. Most major cards are accepted at these markets and if you are a SNAP customer, you can also use your Lone Star card and Double Up Food Bucks. Locations and schedules are subject to change, so check the current info online to find one near you.
