CNN International shoots story featuring the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign

Rebecca Serna with Ralitsa Vassileva, CNN International Reporter

ABC staff members and cycling instructors spent 2 hours with CNN International reporter, Ralitsa Vassileva - pictured right speaking with our Executive Director, Rebecca Serna - shooting video and taping interviews for a story about how the American public is responding to rising gas prices, in part, by turning to bicycling as an alternate form of transportation and how ABC is helping people who want to do so overcome their doubts and learn to cycle confidently on city streets.

Update: It looks like the story will air Tuesday, May 6 with a re-broadcast over the weeked of May 10-11. The show, iReport for CNN, is carried on CNN International and is seen all over the world. In the U.S. go to Comcast channel #206.

The back story of how this all came together is interesting in and of itself.

Volunteers needed for Urban Forestry Family Festival

We need at least 2 volunteers to help Rebecca out at our first tabling event of the spring. Email volunteer@atlantabike.org if you can pitch in. Tabling at festivals is fun and helps ABC make new friends all over town.
