At the height of this bike boom, City of Atlanta mapped out a safe route for the growing number of new cyclists

October is Pedestrian Safety Month! Join GOHS and Georgia Bikes in making Georgia's roads safe for everyone!
Take a few moments to rethink how you drive. Behind the wheel, are you:
` Alert and focused?

Motorists should be on the lookout for child pedestrians who may move more slowly, requiring more time to cross the street. Be especially cautious and alert for children on residential streets, near parks and playgrounds, and in school zones. #PedestrianSafetyMonth #Beseen

ALL drivers should know their state's traffic laws before hitting the road 
In many places, sharing the road is more than a courtesy — it’s the law. If you know some drivers that could use a quick and basic traffic law lesson, send them over to youtube.com/bikeleague

Be sure to signal your movements when you need to change road position to avoid something and don't swerve dramatically. If you're riding in a group, announce the presence of debris to keep everyone safe. And, of course, remain observant and aware at all times.

There's always the chance that your ride will be interrupted by (sometimes manmade) debris in your path. Severe weather this week means even more potential for limbs, leaves, and other obstacles on the road, path, or trail.
