Bike Trains are now Quarterly

Posted Sat, 2010-08-14 16:30 by jett

Back in May, the rain fell on our trains, and immediately we started talking about doing this again. We just didn't want to wait until next May.

Thursday, September 2, area cyclists are once again leading "bike trains". Besides making the commute more fun and social, the bike trains help those new to bike commuting feel more comfortable. Please see map below for bike train times and locations. If joining a route, please contact the route leader to let them know they can expect you. That way you can be sure they don't leave without you.

Now updated! The attached bicycle suitability map, developed by ABC in with input from cyclists and the Midtown Transportation Solutions and the Downtown TMA, is without a doubt our most popular map. Streets are rated according to how bike-friendly they are and color-coded: red (least bikeable), yellow (fine for the moderately experienced cyclist) and green (bike-friendly).

Last fall, Atlanta Regional Commission Transportation Division intern Lyuba completed an inventory of bicycle facilities across the region. This year, as Lyuba rejoins the ARC as the new bike/ped coordinator, we'd like to share that map with you in hopes of spurring Atlanta and DeKalb to greater investments in bicycle infrastructure. Please read more to check out the map.

Where to park your bike (racks) and where to use caution (thefts)

bike theft chart + stats.JPG

In December of 2007, ABC volunteers fanned out across the city to hunt down and assess bicycle racks. Below is a map of the results, completed with GIS volunteer expertise from Jeff and Lyuba. In addition to the bike racks, indicated by the green bikes, this map also features a layer showing the locations of stolen bikes reported during 2007-2008 (through October), indicated by the red markers. While we know stolen bikes tend to be greatly under-reported, it's interesting to see where the reported thefts took place. The concentration in the northeast quadrant of the city likely indicates the presence of an active cycling population that is more likely to report bike thefts to the police.
