Atlanta’s bike revolution is happening and we’re glad you’re part of it. We’ve been listening to you all and we’ve learned that you’d be riding even more if two things happened – 1) the city ramps up its infrastructure so that it’s roads are safe for bicycle riding and 2) you felt more empowered to negotiate the current and evolving conditions of Atlanta’s streets.
Before the ride, read up on the infrastructure (and lack, thereof) of streets we'll be negotiating on two wheels, check out the following:
Your ride leader, Stephen Spring, has been car-less taking on the streets of DC, SF, Austin, and Atlanta by bicycle for three decades. This ride is guaranteed to lift your urban bike riding confidence. We will mass up, do a few quick drills, then hit the city streets for an hour-long ride through GA Tech Campus, Downtown, and into Midtown. We’ll take it slow, stay together, and practice our skills in a safe and supportive setting. You will experience two-directional protected and single-directional bike lanes, sharrows, and streets where we responsibly exercise our legal right to “take the lane.”
We strongly recommend bringing a helmet, water, and lights. Know that if you don't have a bike, there's a Bike Share hub right there.
