Get Peddling!

The Atlanta Bicycle Campaign is moving downtown, and it's doing so on bikes. On Saturday, December 15, volunteers will pedal the organization out of its current offices in a church basement to its new offices at 233 Mitchell Street in downtown Atlanta. ABC members and volunteers, including the Atlanta Intown Touring Club, will use panniers, bike trailers, baskets and messenger bags to make the Move By Bike happen. ABC will also host a basement sale that will include some items of interest to cyclists along with office supplies and furniture. Volunteers and staff of the nonprofit bicycle advocate will move heavier items, such as furniture and electronic equipment, by FlexCar. "Move by Bike" is part of a two-pronged agenda to 1) raise the organization's visibility with decision-makers and government agencies, and 2) weave environmentally friendly practices into its daily operations. The Atlanta Bicycle Campaign is Atlanta's largest member-based bicycle advocacy organization. ABC advocates for better conditions for biking, provides Confident City Cycling classes that teach people to ride safely, offers programs to break down the barriers to biking, educates drivers and cyclists on how share the road, and strives to make Atlanta a bike-friendly community.
