People's Climate March Tomorrow

IMG_0257 climate2 Atlanta has the potential to be a very loud voice in the international cry for strong climate action ahead of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris (especially since our own Mayor Reed will be there!) which begins on November 30th. Spearheaded by a diverse group of dedicated volunteers representing Georgia non-profit organizations, businesses, academia, activists, religious groups, government and more, this march is already several hundred strong. The People's Climate March in Atlanta is intended to be a peaceful, yet forceful demonstration of Atlanta's commitment to the global climate movement. We hope to bring together people of all different backgrounds and interests to show that climate change is a mainstream issue, and that we demand action from our local and world leaders on climate. Join us for the People's Climate March happening here in Atlanta on November 29th.

Bike Commuter Breakfast Tomorrow

The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition has chosen the popular Morningside café for its November gathering. Stop by between 7 and 9 am to catch up with friends who prefer pedal power in a city renown for motor traffic. Rsvp on Facebook.

At Porches And Pies

IMG_1485 IMG_1478 IMG_1474 IMG_1481 IMG_1475 Think of Chomp & Stomp with pie instead of chili. The inaugural Adair Park festival gave us eighty treats both sweet and savory, plus a look at how the BeltLine is renewing yet another Atlanta neighborhood.

Terminus 5C This Saturday

IMG_1333 IMG_1325 IMG_1327 IMG_1350 IMG_1357 This year's Grand Prize will be a classic Trek Elance road bike donated by SOPO. To obtain such a treasure you will have to run a gauntlet of five bike-friendly bars, each posing an unique set of challenges. To keep things sociable, play is for points, not time. Bring a friend or two. Free beer and a variety of runner-up prizes await those who can find their ways to the finish. Registration begins at 11am in Woodruff Park for the noon starting hour. The advance cost is $15 for Atlanta Bicycle Coalition members or $30 to join in both the fun and our voice for cycling advocacy. Please follow this link to the event Facebook page.
