Anyone have any favorite routes to bike from Midtown to Buckhead? It looks like Lenox to Lindbergh is the best option to connect to Path 400, but I was wondering if anyone had any other recs, thanks!
Hi, I am going to be in town for a conference at the end of March. I will be training for a race I am going to be doing at the end of April. I would like to bring my bike and continue to train while I am there. I will be staying at the Hyatt Regency downtown.
I am looking for a route or routes I could do early in the morning, 20 to 30 miles leaving straight from the hotel. I also won't mind just looping a shorter route multiple times if it was better. Basically trying to find something without a lot of stop and go where I could keep up a decent pace. Basically since I have little time, I want to maximize time at a good pace vs interesting ride(which I would love to do if I had more time) I realize I would probably have a bit of stop and go just to get out of downtown.
Not sure if that reasonable straight from the hotel but would appreciate any ideas.
My ideas so far.
thanks for any input
UPDATE: I should say I will probably be bringing my gravel bike. I just didn't know if there would be gravel travels close to the hotel. So up for gravel or road.
Any ATL Zwift riders that want to cycle together or meet up in person to road ride when the weather is nicer?
Basically - looking for help finding test ride opportunities of front loading cargo bikes in the ATL (preferably ITP), willing to buy coffee as thanks.
Partner and I are in the market for a front loading cargo bike to hopefully keep us at 1 car with 2 kids for a couple more years. Because my partner is quite short (5'0") and has had prior issues with bike fit, we're looking for opportunities to just check whether a couple models fit her. Haven't had much luck outside of the urban arrow (original 'family') from a fellow parent at our daycare.
Specific brands/models:
If we're missing a place to go test ride these at an LBS...please let me know and I'll smack myself upside the head for you. Otherwise, DM would be awesome if you are willing to help me out.

Hi yall, moved to ATL in April and now that I’m settled in I am looking for a club of a group to ride with in West Atlanta.
Hi Atlanta friends! Long shot, but would anyone have one or know someone who uses this bike and would let me use the charger? I have just purchased a used Electra Townie Go! 7D but the charger idoes not work and is backordered until December. I have called around and the closest shop that has one is a place in Knoxville, and I am working to get this charger. I would appreciate any and all help.
I was able to take the bike to a shop that had the correct charger (Hyena Gen 2) and ensure the bike charged and worked.
Thank you for your consideration!
Does anyone have any tips/suggestions/resources on best practices for selling a used road bike?
I've been looking to sell my Bianchi Road Bike which is currently listed on Craigslist/OfferUp (I don't have a Facebook account) but have not had any bites as of yet.
I’d like to know if anyone has any recommendations for casual charity rides in Georgia or nearby that are not geared just towards serious cyclists. Most of the larger ride events I see in Georgia are long distance races that are less inviting to casual riders. Critical Mass and other social rides like MWR are a lot of fun, but I’m looking for a ride that’s more of a day event that’s even more social and spread out than those rides.
I just finished a 20 mile charity ride that featured a bunch of participating bars/restaurants making it more of a day long bike crawl and had an absolute blast, it’s a specific request but I’m hoping theres something similar nearby. The closest thing I can think of is Atlanta’s cycling fest, but I’m happy to hear if anyone else has any more recommendations, thanks in advance!
For reference, this is the kind of ride I’m looking for, but something closer to home https://fattireride.com
Two rides this week with 50 people each!
Anyone know of casual biking groups locally? I ride a commuting bike for now until I build up my comfort level and would really like to find others who ride for fun/more casually. No-drop groups maybe?
Was just told about this sub Reddit from a friend because I’m looking for biking buddies. Other than the most recent post about the SCT, there haven’t been any posts in months. Is this still a good place to find group rides and bike buddies?
I want to do a weekend ride with my dad on the Silver Comet. Where's a good place to start, particularly if you need to park overnight? And where's a good place to stop for the night after a reasonable Saturday ride?
I tried to search the sub for info, but there's nothing very recent.

Step out of the online shadow with this group ride, leaving and returning to 97 Estoria—a 9-mile loop with some fun homies.

I'm looking to buy an ebike that is quite expensive to me (around 1400). And I can't help but see the biggest concern I have is potential theft. I live in the Dunwoody area and travel to Roswell as well. I wanted to know for those whow live in this area. What has your experience been like with Ebikes safety and theft?
