Bike Commuting Resources

Bike Pools (like a carpool except on bikes)

These are two commuting rides that I've been leading:

• The Wednesday Bike Train runs every Wednesday from Candler Park to Georgia Tech and arrives on campus for 9AM classes.
• The 3rd Friday Commute runs from Decatur's Square to Midtown along a choice of participant-selected routes. A few run past the Thumbs Up Diner on Edgewood.

These rides are modeled on Portland's Bike Pool Connections.
