Amid members of the cycling community, we announced the inception of Savannah Bicycle Campaign in Johnson Square yesterday. We were joined by County Commissioner Helen Stone, Alderman Larry Stuber, Tybee City Councilman Paul Wolff, bike shop owners, racers, tourers, commuters, and bicycle lifestylists in our bid to make Savannah a truly Bicycle Friendly Community.
We again highlighted the events of the Ultimate Savannah Bicycle Weekend. We invite locals and tourists alike to enjoy the two wheeled splendor all weekend:
