Celebrate Bike to Work Day -Take a BIKE TRAIN!

On Friday, May 16, thousands of people across the nation will be biking to work as part of National Bike to Work Day to show that bicycling is a great form of transportation. And you can, too!

The Atlanta Bicycle Campaign will be running 6 Commuter Bike Trains across the metro area on Bike to Work Day. A Bike Train is a caravan of bicycle riders following a specific route on a regular schedule. Riders can hop on or peel off at any point along the route. It's pollution-free, great exercise, and lots of fun!

Below are the two trains coming to Downtown. For additional bike train schedules, contact gracieb@atlantadowntown.com or jdolan@atlantadowntown.com.
