Changing the Game, and the Definition

Look up the definition of Mural Ride and it will say: A San Antonio bike tour company that rides through Downtown San Antonio with an amazing host who will show you the best San Antonio street art. Well, maybe it won’t say that, but I am working with Webster’s to make it happen.

Story

Where the Adventure Begins

What started off as a few friends riding around downtown San Antonio admiring local murals and street art, evolved to a monthly mural rides bike tour. Brian's eye to spot obscure guerrilla street art was fine tuned with each ride, so much so that he was able to personally contact local artists and get the inside track on new art installations.

The mural pictured above is about 2-3 inches in height. In 2014 when this piece of street are was unveiled most onlookers missed it.
