Cycle Responsibly with ABC

For the next six weeks, the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition will be offering a 6-lesson course. ONLINE! 

Whether you are riding our city streets out of necessity to get to work, to the pharmacy, to the grocery store, or to an appointment or you are wanting to just get out and move your body, the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition is here for you.

In each lesson, you will brush up on all the skills needed to safely ride in Atlanta’s streets with a focus on how to make an essential trip while social distancing. You will:

  • Learn where to get a bike or your bike repaired

  • Learn how to do an ABC-Q check to make sure you're bike is ready to go

  • Fit your helmet

  • Plan a route to your workplace, a grocery store, the pharmacy, or another essential business.

  • Discuss signaling and other timely communication strategies

  • Know how to safely take the lane

All interactive, virtual classes are 'live' on Wednesdays between 5:30 and 6:10. You will get a follow-up communication before each class on how to engage online.
