Current projects include:

-- Statewide collaborations and coalition building:
Leading the effort to revitalize Georgia Bikes! as a network of bicycle advocates, shop owners, clubs, and supporters. Initiating lobbying arm to further our mission at the political level. www.gban.org coming soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Georgia Bikes Alliance, the lobbying arm of this group, is forming now. Bicycle advocacy organizations, shops, and club leaders are eligible to join the group - email or call for more information. Our draft legislative agenda includes a 3 Feet Safe Passing law for Georgia. Please see Share the Street for more information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Bicycle-Friendly Atlanta
Working with the city of Atlanta to identify and prioritize streets for bicycle lanes and sharrows to be built using existing Quality of Life bond funds. Long term goal is to create a bicycle-friendly community in Atlanta. Short terms goals include: hosting a Bike Summit, implementing 20 miles of bike lanes by 2011, increasing rates of bicylcing by 10% each year as measured by our bike counts, and completing the Bicycle Friendly Communities application through the League of American Bicyclists (www.bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/communities for more information).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- See Click Fix! Helping cyclists become advocates for better conditions by providing an online reporting tool to help identify and attempting to resolve design problems with existing bicycle facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- BeltLine: Working with BeltLine Inc. to ensure the Atlanta BeltLine is built in adherence with national best practices (ie AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities: www.sccrtc.org/bikes/AASHTO_1999_BikeBook.pdf)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Bicycle Friendly Universities: Making Atlanta's top resource, our universities and colleges, bike-friendly.
a) GSU Bikes: Partnering with Georgia State faculty, students, and staff on GSU Bikes (www.gsubikes.com), a student-led project to encourage bicycling on campus by holding a contest for an artistic and functional bike rack design, surveying bicycling on campus, creating a campus facility for minor bike repairs, and mapping bike racks on campus.
b) GT Starter Bikes: a group of students dedicated to refurbishing abandoned bikes for resale as affordable transportation for students and low-income workers (and anyone who just wants an inexpensive bike to get them started before making a bigger investment at one of Atlanta's wonderful local bikes shops!)
c) Bike Emory, an ABC partner, encourages more bicycling in the Emory area, while seeking to improve campus conditions for cycling.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Bike Mapping (Bike Geeks)
Project to create maps of bike lanes/trails, racks, crashes, counts, commuter routes, and more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Art loves Bikes
Creating collaborative efforts between artistic communities to support better bicycling. Partners include Wonderroot and Eyedrum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Starter Bikes
A collaboration between GT Students Organizing for Sustainability and ABC. The goal is to furnish people who need affordable and reliable transportation with refurbished bikes. Volunteers fix up donated bikes and make them available for resale for $75-150, creating more bicyclists in Atlanta. Visit our online store for details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pending initiatives/new ideas:

-- CDC Communities Putting Prevention to Work:
We are collaborating on two applications for these funds, which will go to local and state health departments for research and results-based initiatives to reduce obesity (and smoking).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- BikeStation
ABC has initiated discussions with local partners including MARTA and the Atlanta Regional Commission about creating a bike station (www.bikestation.com) near a transit hub. We believe this will enable more people to combine their commutes, reduce bike theft, and contribute to the building of a balanced transportation network in our urban core.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Ciclovia (Pedaling Peachtree)
We're interested in the possibility of bringing a Ciclovia style event (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciclovía) to Atlanta and have started discussions with Downtown and Midtown Atlanta, as well as Decatur, about this concept.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Share the Road Georgia
We are partnering with Georgia Bikes!, Bike Athens, and the Savannah Bicycle Campaign on an application for a statewide bike safety and awareness initiative to be funded by Share the Road tag purchases. So if you're sporting a Share the Road tag on your car, thank you! Now you know those funds haven't disappeared completely...
