Georgia Bikes!, our statewide advocacy group has reorganized and added a lobbying component. Part of that effort in the statehouse this year is the annual Georgia Rides to the Capitol. With rides beginning at two main locations around metro Atlanta, this event brings together elected officials and cyclists to highlight the need for better public policy with respect to bikes.
If any of you has a reason to be in Atlanta on March 23, or you just want to support legislative efforts (let us know — there may be an opportunity to meet with our legislators while you’re there), check it out! If you do plan to go, please pre-register so the organizers know how many to expect and consider making a donation to the effort — the ride has been put on for free in the past, but due to mounting costs, this may not be the case in the future.
