Join instructor Liz and the ABC bunch at Charis Books in Little Five Points for a fun and informative bicycling safety class. Use our Share the Road contact form to RSVP. Thanks!

Designed to accommodate all skill levels, this class will teach you the basics of cycling safety, inform you of your rights and responsibilities under Georgia, and illustrate safe riding techniques. No bicycle is required but we recommend that you bring one. This is the class to help you build the confidence you need for safe city cycling.

Maigh (maighh@gmail.com) is organizing the Atlanta-area participation in this commemorative event during which bicyclists around the world will ride solemnly and slowly to demonstrate their solidarity with those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways and to assert our rights as a community to be respected and supported as we endeavor to share the road.

This is a rolling ride sprinkled with six short, but steep ascents that will demand the best of your climbing legs. It starts at the REI in Perimeter Center.

Join Atlanta's own contribution to this "worldwide movement to promote the use of bicycles as a viable means of transportation" the last Friday of every month.

Riders gather at Woodruff Park at 6 pm and the Mass usually leaves around 6:30 pm. More information on the ride route can be found at this Yahoo group.

Join ABC staff and volunteers and fellow commuting cyclists for the June installment of our monthly commuter breakfast at Thumbs Up Diner on Edgewood Avenue. Drop in and visit for a while before heading off to work or just roll by and say hello. In either case, your cup of coffee is on the house!

This annual bike rally is organized by the East Atlanta Kids Club and includes bike races for kids on the streets around the park, as well as cross-track races for adults on a course that includes both street and dirt trail racing. Kids also try their luck in the bike rodeo, practicing a variety of bike agility moves and showing off their knowledge of bike safety.

Here's a unique opportunity to get a better understanding of how Atlanta came to be the city it is today. This ride, sponsored by the Intown Touring Club, will begin at Oakland Cemetery and do a counter-clockwise loop of downtown. Dr. Cliff Kuhn, a Georgia State professor whose specialty is Atlanta history, particularly that of its industry and workers, will be along as a guide to comment on the sites that document Atlanta's transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy.

The cemetery is just south of the King Memorial MARTA station. Because of the summer heat, the ride itself won't run very long and will be capped off with a get together over cold and refreshing drinks.
