My University, My Bike

Braydon Gold
—Braydon Gold

Braydon Gold is a second-generation Roadrunner and sculpture artist pursuing an M.F.A. on a presidential scholarship at UTSA. A native of San Antonio, he is an athlete and avid cyclist. Maybe you’ve seen his “fixie” (a fixed-gear bicycle) around campus, but did you realize it was more than just a mode of transportation? It’s a muse and piece of art on its own.

Here’s Gold in his own words:

It is an incredible honor to go to school in my hometown and represent the university that I grew up supporting. I am working towards a career in public art and teaching in addition to working for the university and being a full-time graduate art student.

My cycling allows me to stay strong and healthy, but it also serves as a tremendous way to explore and connect with UTSA. Riding around campus is most certainly one of my favorite things to do. Whether I am swiftly darting across campus to make it to class and work or leisurely cruising around on a quiet weekend morning, few things compare to the pleasure of a simple bike ride!

As an artist I am constantly on the lookout for photographic opportunities while riding. UTSA is so incredibly abundant with beauty and school pride that it makes taking awesome photos pretty easy. I am simply a Roadrunner who loves his bike and loves his school, and I want to share my photos with other people from San Antonio and around the world.
