"Every picture tells a story, don't it?"

Rod Stewart was right about pictures and stories, and this picture tells the story of hundreds of cyclists who have been needlessly injured - sometimes killed - because of improperly installed storm grates. This particular grate hazard, at the corner of Carroll and Gaskill Streets in Cabbagetown, a historic Atlanta neighborhood, was documented by Andrew Hebert during the May 2008 ABC Fun Ride. (Thanks, Andrew!)

Ride of Silence 2008 ride start in Piedmont Park

Thanks to the organizing efforts of Maigh Houlihan with the assistance of Jett Marks, Atlanta's installment of the 2008 international Ride of Silence drew almost three dozen participants yesterday. Jett is pictured here near the center of a panorama (stitched from 9 individual photographs) speaking to the assembled group at the Charles Allen Drive entrance to Piedmont Park as he and others took turns reflecting on cycling comrades who had been killed or injured on public roadways.

BikeFest 2008, held Wednesday at Woodruff Park in Downtown Atlanta, concluded with a daring performance, one that launched a wrong-way Charlie the Cycling Clown - known in some circles as Kyle Torok - headlong toward a tempera-coated corrugated-cardboard jalopy piloted by the law-abiding Irene. Ringmaster, Erica Crabb Moon, not only provided play-by-play commentary for the unfolding drama but also graciously rendered assistance to a dazed - but fortunately uninjured - Charlie.

You can see more of this theatrical premier and other photos of ABC's not-ready-for-drive-time players in this photo gallery.

ABC's sustainability commitments - cycling and recycling

When Executive Director Rebecca Serna wrote her end-of-year appeal last year, she took the opportunity to place the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign's commitment to environmental sustainability front and center. This photograph communicates two aspects of that commitment. The first is, not surprisingly, to cycling - specifically using our own bicycles wherever possible in the conduct of our business. The other, as demonstrated by the colorful cargo bags in the photo, is our commitment to reuse and recycle in our day-to-day operations.
