Save The Date: October 7

Are you ready for the Great Atlanta Halloween Bicycle Parade?

Of Pints, Popsicles and a Picnic

How did the ride organizers manage the weather so splendidly? "We did a rain dance," explained Kyle Torok. It must've been a sight, because Saturday's weepy skies gave way to a cool, dry Sunday. Fare-thee-well, summertime!

At The Piedmont Park Green Market

for the Love of trees and all things that float in the breeze must have inspired both jeweler Kelly Bertelson Banks and the butterfly, which briefly alighted on a pepper this magical morning when nature and art converged in Piedmont Park. Mottled reds and golds are achieved by first super heating copper, then cooling it rapidly in water. Yes, that is a bicycle cable encircling a pendant chosen to complement the earrings. Even preserved in resin, those leaves still sway when she walks. Ms. Banks and her husband pedaled to the park, towing her jewels and his cooler full of basil pesto on a trailer that he rebuilt.

Save The Date: September 9th

'Tis time once again for that most civilized parade through Atlanta, the Seersucker Social. Riders will depart from Hand In Hand at 2pm for the meandering urban tour, which concludes with a self-catered picnic in Oakland Cemetery. A symbol of remembrance, rosemary is planted throughout that Victorian garden. Please follow this link for memories of last year's event.

Heels On Wheels Visits Houndstooth Road

Changing the Heels on Wheels format from dinner downtown to brunch in Decatur proved quite successful. More than coffee and pastry, Pashley and Pilen, Vespertine NYC and Yakkay made for delightful temptation while a crowd of veterans and newbies grew and grew. The late start was inevitable, yet portends a bright future for dressy rides of all sorts in Atlanta.

Save The Date: Saturday

For August, Heels on Wheels will be a Lazy Summer Brunch ride leaving from Decatur. Yesterday afternoon on the PATH, we staged a photo op previewing the sort of stylish fun and comraderie for which these rides are known. "Freedom is being in motion. Tonight I biked, danced and laughed with my whole body," said Atlanta Bicycle Coalition Executive Director Rebecca Serna of another day's excursion. Please meet them at Houndstooth Road, 316 Church Street, Saturday at 8:45.
