Every year we celebrate All Things Bike in May -- National Bike Month. This year, we are asking everyone in Atlanta to hop on a bike at least once, but we don't care when, where, with whom, or why you do it! We just want you to ride sometime, somewhere, with someone (even if that someone is you), for any reason, or no reason at all. You probably already know that riding a bike can give you joy, health, and a stronger sense of community. But did you know that during National Bike Month in May (May is Bike Month media release), taking the Bike There pledge could also win you fabulous prizes, free breakfast, and a party where YOU are the celebrity? So go ahead, take the pledge to
