I live about an hour north of Atlanta. I would guess that Atlanta has some co-ops.
What sort of riding are you planning on doing? Do you actually plan on riding "off road", or are we talking road / cycle path riding here? If the latter then I would highly recommend you consider a hybrid bike like the Trek 7.1/7.2. Even if you're riding gravel paths, a hybrid will do the job.
