Check into the Arboretum area (360 & 183). Grocery stores, restaurants & all kinds of retail nearby, so you won't be wasting time going from place to place for the needs of life. Jollyville Road parallels 183 and is very bikeable from the Arboretum northward to Spicewood Springs. The Jollyville/183 corridor lies along the rim of a big canyon, plenty of hills down there. The Arboretum area is well served by Capital Metro and all buses have bike racks.
