Glorious Cycling Weather

By expending little more effort than walking, cyclists pedal faster than they can run. Wafting on such a breeze feels like flying.

People's Climate March Tomorrow

Atlanta has the potential to be a very loud voice in the international cry for strong climate action ahead of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris (especially since our own Mayor Reed will be there!) which begins on November 30th. Spearheaded by a diverse group of dedicated volunteers representing Georgia non-profit organizations, businesses, academia, activists, religious groups, government and more, this march is already several hundred strong. The People's Climate March in Atlanta is intended to be a peaceful, yet forceful demonstration of Atlanta's commitment to the global climate movement. We hope to bring together people of all different backgrounds and interests to show that climate change is a mainstream issue, and that we demand action from our local and world leaders on climate. Join us for the People's Climate March happening here in Atlanta on November 29th.

September|October Momentum Magazine

The best fashion show is definitely on the street. Always has been. Always will be, quoth Bill Cunningham, and was chosen by the editors of Momentum Magazine to introduce their feature, 'Global Bike Style On The Street'. Their choices celebrate humanity via the daily lives of people who ride bikes. Memorable folk from Nepal, Havanna, Mexico City, Tokyo, Toronto, and, yes, Atlanta, grace as many pages.

#‎EverydayBiking‬ Count Thursday

See and be seen this Thursday afternoon in Piedmont Park, when
Heels On Wheels takes to the streets once again. More than good fun, this ride should raise Atlanta's profile in the national People For Bikes #EverydayBiking challenge. Riders will gather at 4:30 by the park gate where Charles Allen Drive meets Tenth Street. After a turn or two through the cycle track, they will follow the BeltLine and PATH to
Little Five Points for refreshments at The Porter. Rsvp on facebook.
