5th Annual BeltLine Bike Tour: Saturday, May 5thPresented by Living Smarter with Aaron Watson, Atlanta City Council
Join us for the 2012 Atlanta BeltLine Bike Tour and experience this transformative project as it hits its stride! With the Eastside Trail slated to open this summer and voters facing a July transportation sales tax referendum that would provide $602 million for BeltLine transit and trails, the project is poised to take a huge leap forward. It's an exciting time to be a fan of the BeltLine, which will connect Atlanta by creating greenspace, trails, transit, and new development along 22 miles of historic rail segments that encircle the city's urban core. We hope you'll join us May 5th for an intimate view of Atlanta's present and past, and a glimpse into what the future holds.
We'll have varied pace options depending on how fast or how leisurely you want to take it, and the ride will include fascinating stops highlighting assets and points of interest along the BeltLine. Trained volunteers will lead each group, and all routes will be supported with SAG vehicles and refreshments.
So that everyone can experience the BeltLine by bike, route options will range from a short jaunt to the full BeltLine.
