Have you checked out the outdoor artwork adorning the city these days?
Graffiti has moved from outlaw to street art, and some of the top artists and newcomers are spraying it up, right here in Houston. We’ll be riding around H-town while checking out some of the more prominent and promising graphics to be seen.
Most of the ride today is on the streets of Houston, so DON’T forget your helmet – if you do, we will have a few to lend.

Meet at Market Square Park in front of Niko Niko's - Parking: There is an abundance of on-street parking in downtown. Metered on-street parking is free all day on Sundays. Never park at a red meter or if the street has red markings. Milam and Travis streets along the park are also considered mobility lanes so you cannot park there from 7-9 am or 4-6 pm.
$5 parking is also available at Market Square Garage at 300 Milam, which is conveniently located across the street from the park.
