The Metro Atlanta Mayors Association will co-sponsor the Sixth Annual “Georgia Rides to the Capitol” event on On March 22 to raise support for the development of a regional-scale bicycle network.
Routes will depart from Decatur and Roswell. There will also be a three-block ceremonial ride from Hurt Park in the city of Atlanta to the Capitol. Last year, more than 30 metro-area mayors and council members participated in the bike ride.
More than 1,000 bike enthusiasts are expected to join the ride that will culminate in a press conference on the Capitol steps highlighting the importance of funding for pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and other alternative forms of transportation.
Open to the public, bicyclists are estimated to arrive at the Capitol at 11:40 a.m. The estimated departure times for Decatur is 10:45 a.m. and Roswell at 9:45 a.m.
