Living Smarter Bike Ride

Atlanta City Councilmember Aaron Watson (Post 2 At-Large) and the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition (ABC) invite all Atlantans to get moving and join them in the last fun-filled bike ride of the Living Smarter through Cycling Series.

This bike ride is the fourth and final in a series of rides that Watson has led this spring.

Bikers will ride approximately 10 miles roundtrip through intown neighborhoods to Brown Middle School Community Garden (765 Peeples St. SW) (departing from the Piedmont Park Conservancy Community Center, 1071 Piedmont Ave NE Atlanta GA 30309).

While visiting the garden, cyclists will learn first-hand about the importance of eating a variety of farmed-raised fresh foods from local farmers and tour the garden.  The bikers will complete the ride at the Conservancy Community Center.

The Brown Community Garden is part of the larger Patchwork City Farms (PCF), a small multi-family owned urban farm located in the South West of Atlanta in the West End historic district.  PCF owners are new urban farmers, educators and social activists.  They promote a healthy and safe environment by demonstrating and teaching others how to grow safe foods. They encourage the youth in the community to come learn, plant and harvest with them.

All riders must register in advance before the ride to be eligible to participate and are asked to bring their own bikes and helmets.
