Every year, bicycle riders nationwide celebrate Bike to Work Week during May (Bike Month). The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition and its partners including the Downtown TMA and the CDC are organizing events to encourage everyone to add a bike to their commute options. Bike commuters are among the few in Atlanta who actually look forward to their rides to and from work! But you don't have to bike to work to help the environment and get fit - think about all the trips you make in an ordinary week, then write down those two miles or less. Those are quick and easy bike trips. Read more for details!

We hope during Bike Month you'll try riding to the library or park, help a neighbor get started biking, or just share the simple enjoyment of a ride with friends, family or co-workers.

Biking is an easy way to improve your personal health as well as that of your community. Please to Bike There* during the week of May 16-21 and be entered to win prizes including gift cards from .

*There could be work, school, church/synagogue/mosque, or just running errands or socializing. Making bicycling a part of your life is what this week and month are all about - the focus is on getting to work by bike simply since that's a trip most of us make everyday.
