Fusing two modes of transportation can result in more efficient travel as evidenced by water taxis, airbuses, and horse-drawn skateboards. Experience successful transport synthesis with today’s Groupon: for $30, you get a rental of two water bikes for one-hour at Austin Water Bikes , located at the Hyatt Regency Austin (up to a $60 value). Each water bike seats one person. Evening rides begin at various times, depending on when it gets dark; please call ahead to schedule. Austin Water Bikes fulfills amphibious fantasies with waterborne tours by moonlight on hybrid bicycle-kayaks called water bikes that glide along liquid surfaces at speeds of up to 10 mph.

Life vests are optional as are other life-enhancing supplies such as sunscreen and bathing suits.
