Welcome to our calendar of FREE bike classes. 

Whether you’re a True Beginner, seeking greater confidence riding on city streets, hoping to increase your transportation options by getting around on Atlanta’s bike share bikes, or want help navigating a commute on your own two wheels, we’ve got a class for you. Each class is led or facilitated by a League Cycling Instructor (LCI), certified by the League of American Bicyclists.

Atlanta voters overwhelmingly supported the Renew Atlanta infrastructure bond in a special election on March 17, 2015.

Renew Atlanta allocated 13.2% of the bond, or more than $33 million, for complete streets projects. This marked a big win for building safer streets throughout the City of Atlanta! Last week the Technical Advisory Committee met for the first time - check out the progress made so far!

Earlier this year, the City of Clarkston and the Clarkston Community Center were presented with an opportunity. With a grant in hand to enhance awareness of bicycling and bike safety, they wanted to try to reach more people than just a bike class could.

The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition encouraged Clarkston to try an open streets initiative, to give residents and supporters the chance to experience biking and walking on streets where they might normally feel unsafe outside of a car, while building community and having fun together. ABC agreed to provided some guidance on planning, and assistance with marketing and design as partners, but the real stars were the Clarkston community members and leaders!

Thus Clarkston Streets Alive was born. Several short months later, despite heavy rain and temperatures in the 40s, Clarkston Streets Alive carried on as planned on Sunday, November 8th. Nothing could stop the City of Clarkston and the Clarkston Community Center from hosting their first open streets event. 

A bike parade kicked things off, with community organizations set up near the Clarkston Community Center, on N. Indian Creek Drive. People were able to walk, bike, and play on the 1.2 mile route. There were a variety of activity partners present - MARTA brought out a bus so people could test out how to load a bike on the front rack, Refuge Coffee Co. served up very welcome warm drinks, and Atlanta Contact Point provided unicycling lessons to the curious.

All in all, it was a great Open Streets event (despite some not-so-cooperative-weather) and we at the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition were delighted to see another community embrace the open streets concept.

More than 61,000 people flocked to Atlanta Streets Alive on Peachtree Street from Downtown to Midtown on bikes, skates, feet, wheelchairs, and more to spend time with friends, family, and neighbors.

Our final Atlanta Streets Alive of the year is this weekend on Sunday, October 25th, from 2-6 p.m. on Peachtree Street. Peachtree is Atlanta's iconic street, and we'd love for it to become a model street for biking and walking in Atlanta. For four hours, Peachtree Street will accomplish just that.

Maybe you’ve seen new bicycle infrastructure pop up around the city in the last five years. You may have heard about Atlanta's first Chief Bicycle Officer. You may have even felt like Atlanta’s become more bike-friendly and a better place to ride your bicycle with friends and family. Heck, your bike commute to work might be a little easier – despite the massive truck blocking the new bike lane!

Who makes this all possible?

Over 100,000 people flocked to Highland Ave., North Ave., Boulevard, and North Highland to walk, bike, and play in the streets Sunday! 

From Ormewood Park to Buckhead, last week was a busy week on the advocacy front. Here's a breakdown of what happened.

 Where will you be in 9 days? 

If you're not at Atlanta Streets Alive Highland+, you're missing a chance to witness the transformative effects of open streets on the community.

Last week, five Atlanta City Councilmembers, Commissioners of the Department of Planning and Community Development and Public Works, key city staff including the Mayor's Office, and several Atlanta Bicycle Coalition board members and staff attended a study tour of Chicago. Sponsored by PeopleForBikes, the tour was coordinated by ABC, the City of Atlanta, and the Chicago Department of Transportation.

On Friday, August 14, 170 local residents biked to Peachtree Street between 8th and 10th Streets in Midtown Atlanta as part of the first ever Business and Bikes.

Soon people on bikes will be able to make routine bicycle repairs at select MARTA rail stations across the system. MARTA is installing seven self-service, Dero bicycle repair kiosks equipped with the necessary tools for routine bike maintenance and repair, from tightening handlebars to pumping a flat tire.

We have some big news about Atlanta Streets Alive that we'd like to share with you!
