[QUOTE=TimothyH;18796067]I ride downtown often. If you have not done so then you should. Riding intown is actually wonderful and on Saturday or Sunday morning there is almost zero traffic and lots of bikes out.



I've got a spectacular three park ride I often do inside Atlanta City limits. I start on Highland and ride down Cumberland & around Piedmont Park. Then hit the beltline & PATH & ride around Candler Park. Then, back on the path across Boulevard & past MLK Center on Jackson St., cross I-20 on Cherokee and, go around Grant Park. It's a little over 20 miles. It's about 2/3 trail & 1/3 street. So, don't worry too much about getting mowed down. I've been riding in Atlanta streets since the 1960's. Grew up in Candler Park. I remember riding out to the Chattahoochee River back when it was all pastures & orchards out there. Now a days you would have to be literally out your mind to try and ride out to the river. I get some of my best deals on Vintage bikes from people out there. Basically, because you really can't ride a bike anywhere in the angry driver Atlanta suburbs. Be good & have fun.
