GA Bikes Hosts Winning Campaigns Training
Over three days in April, 25 bike advocacy leaders representing 11 organizations from 3 states gathered in Athens, GA to learn from the Alliance for Biking & Walking - and from each other - how to define, develop, and execute a "winning campaign." The end result: nine winnable campaigns for signage, driver education, dedicated funding, and innovative infrastructure for communities from Greenville, SC to Birmingham, AL and all across Georgia.
Participants from Bicycle Columbus, Griffin Bicycle Coalition, and WeCycle Atlanta used a portion of their Seed Grant awards to pay for their training and travel expenses. Learn more about the training and participants at the Georgia Bikes blog. |
Law Enforcement Training
Ever been told by an officer that you should ride on the sidewalk? Feel like a 2nd class road user just because you bike?
We're working hard to make sure GA's law enforcement officers know, understand, and enforce laws that protect your rights as a cyclist. We travel the state providing a free 2-hour class that covers state laws related to cyclist rights and responsibilities. Pictured above is our most recent training with the Clarkston PD.
Contact us to schedule a training with your local police or Sheriff's department! |

2013 National Bike Challenge
During the Challenge, which ends September 30th, you can track your miles ridden and rack up points on behalf of local teams, workplaces, or communities. Points are accumulated for both frequent riding and number of miles ridden. Reaching point benchmarks qualifies you for some pretty sweet prizes too. Just a few days into the Challenge, Georgia has 321 registered riders and nearly 30 teams! You can sign up at any time at NationalBikeChallenge.org
