Instagram Accounts Every Austinite Should Follow

I’m reluctant to admit how many hours I spent on Instagram to prepare this article. But I’ll tell you this: for once in my life, no one can accuse me of procrastinating. No, I wasn’t mindlessly scrolling through pictures on my phone; I was doing research!

As you check out these awesome, Austin-based Instagrammers, no one should dare accuse you of procrastinating, either. Just say you’re supporting local artists. Here’s who you should follow…

Seems like food and shots of the city are well represented but how about something about the thriving bike culture or maybe something focused more on the outdoors?
