April 5, 2011

Atlanta City Councilman Aaron Watson will kick off his Living Smarter initiative on Saturday with a 10-mile springtime bike ride.

The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition has partnered with Watson to lead a series of four rides over the next three months to highlight the importance of living an active lifestyle and eating healthier.

Riders will leave from the steps of Atlanta City Hall, 55 Trinity Ave. at 9 a.m. for the roundtrip ride through a number of city neighborhoods to reach the Morningside Farmers’ Market before returning.
