Our mission and vision

Posted Tue, 2008-06-24 16:39 by rebecca

ABC's mission is to make it safer and easier for people to ride bicycles. We believe this will help create a healthier, more sustainable Atlanta and allow people to enjoy a higher quality of life while improving public health, cleaning the air, reducing congestion, and building community.

We work to accomplish this by advocating for better facilities for bicycles, educating cyclists and drivers on sharing the road safely, offering programs to support those who would like to start biking as well as those who already bike to ride more often, and by promoting the bicycle as a both a viable transportation solution and a community-building form of recreation and exercise.

Our staff

We are a small organization with 1.5 full-time staff. Rebecca Serna is the full-time Executive Director and Ali Mangkang is the part-time Outreach Manager.

Other positions are generously held by volunteers, including Jenna Lee, Starter Bikes Coordinator and Joe Slade, Education Program Coordinator.

The Atlanta Streets Alive pilot project is currently staffed by Hayley Richardson and Sean Pfister.

Ride posting policy

Posted Wed, 2009-03-25 15:49 by rebecca

So you are planning an amazing ride, and you'd like to promote it on ABC's website. Understandable. But as you might imagine, we get swamped with requests to post rides on our site. What you might not realize is that we are a very small nonprofit with a tiny staff, so our policy is to only post rides that are organized by ABC, offer ABC members a discount, or benefit our programs financially.

ABC changes name to Atlanta Bicycle Coalition

ABC's board and members voted to change our name to Atlanta Bicycle Coalition to reflect our belief that it will take a community-wide effort to create a bicycle-friendly Atlanta. We remain deeply committed to the advocacy work implied in "campaign" but within the framework of a coalition of organizations, businesses, government and individuals working together to effect change. As Albert Einstein observed, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.” If you would like to join the coalition to keep Atlanta moving (by bike), please contact us to learn more.
