Emory University won kudos for a non-academic endeavor this year. The League of  American Bicyclists named it one of the nation's most bicycle friendly universities.

The bronze ranking makes the school stand out in a state the league ranks as 35th and in which it lists no city as bike friendly except for Roswell, which won recognition in 2006.

The only business with points is BikeAthens, a nonprofit. Shops, eateries and taverns in Atlantic Station, Midtown, Virginia-Highland and Buckhead  apparently aren't peddling enough to the spandex crowd or else they aren't blowing their horn enough about it.
