The freedom to keep moving

Why learn to ride?

Bicycling can be about so much more than getting from one place to another. It can offer a new way to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, connect with your community, and maintain independence.

As Atlanta's population ages, accessible, safe, and affordable transportation options become increasingly important. Learning to ride can open the door to new experiences, more movement, and more ways to enjoy your neighborhood and your community.

BEEPS is here to help you take that first step—or pedal— in a supportive environment.
