News Atlanta's Bike to Work Week May 11-15
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 9:11 PM
All this week, the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign encourages residents to leave their cars in the garage, hop on the ole Huffy, and participate in Bike to Work Week.
The nonprofit has banded together with Atlanta Transportation Management Associations, the Clean Air Campaign, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other velocipede advocacy groups and clubs to host cycling-related events and activities.
Tonight you can find a number of deals and discounts at participating bike shops and gear up for the week. Tomorrow you can find a Bike Buddy to help bring you up to speed. On Wednesday, downtown's Woodruff Park will be the site of Bike Fest, a lunch hour celebration of all things cycling. On Thursday, you can participate in carpool-esque bike trains.
Visit the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign to register for an emailed discount coupon, enter into a prize drawing, and learn more information about this week's activities. Be sure to also check out the city's other cycling groups and resources such as Sopo Bicycle Cooperative and Faster Mustache.
