Your guide to the Atlanta Cycling Festival
The Atlanta Cycling Festival, the weeklong celebration of carbon-free transportation and the most fun way to explore the city, returns this weekend. Why it matters: Atlanta is on a bike-lane building spree, offering rebates to buy e-bikes and embarking on a groundbreaking mountain-biking trail. It's a growing community, and the festival is a great way to join. Zoom in: The festival's packed calendar includes tours of Black-owned coffee shops, wheel-building clinics and rides exploring the city's affordable housing shortage. Here's something for everyone, including people whose bikes are in the garage calling their name. 🤓 Policy pedal: Propel leads a rolling tour of historically underinvested southwest Atlanta neighborhoods to discuss inequity in Atlanta. (May 17) 👶 Beginner's ride: You never forget how to ride a bike, sure, but you can get rusty. Get tips on maintaining balance, shifting gears and stopping safely at the True Beginners ride. (May 17) Note: Bring your own helmet. 🚴 Group riding 101: The no-drop, beginner-friendly Teachable Tuesday ride covers nearly 20 miles with an elevation gain of just over 1,200 feet. (May 20) 🎉 Rolling revelry: Atlanta Pedal Bikes hosts a 16-mile Friday Night Lights ride around the city. The intermediate ride includes a pit stop. (May 23) 💃 Look good: Bicycling fashion is more than tight spandex and bright colors. Wear your very best to the Bike Fashion Show at Underground Atlanta.
