First off I thought I'd clear this up from the Intro thread.

Here's what the law says.

40-6-296.
(a) Every bicycle when in use at nighttime shall be equipped with a light on the front which shall emit a white light visible from a distance of 300 feet to the front and with a red reflector on the rear of a type approved by the Department of Public Safety which shall be visible from a distance of 300 feet to the rear when directly in front of lawful upper beams of headlights on a motor vehicle. A light emitting a red light visible from a distance of 300 feet to the rear may be used in addition to the red reflector.

Purdy doesn't adequately describe how nice it is.
Why am I sitting in front of this computer?

So...who's from GA? Who are you? What do you ride? Where are you riding? When's the next meet-up? Why is it 85 degrees in October?
I moved from Orlando to Atlanta in 1992 because Emory University thought I was their savior.
At least for the department I was working in.
In 2000 corporate downsizing hit (yes, universities are corporations). It hit me again at another employer in 2003.
So now I am an under-employed "something" thinking about tattoo #3.
I work for the
Atlanta Bicycle Campaign as the bike education specialist (whatever that is), Share the Road campaign coordinator (
free Share the Road bumper stickers), webmaster, financial whatever, technical guru, and janitor.
My bikes are shown in my signature.
I bike commute year round from my part of Decatur to Virginia-Highland - about 8.5 miles one-way.
On the weekends I ride from home to Stone Mountain and do a lap or two around the mountain and head home. Not many cyclists live in my neighborhood so I'm usually a loner on the weekend.
After I get my new "geek" lights set up on my commuter bike, I may start doing the Tuesday night ride from Melton's App & Tap. Several friends have invited me, so.....
The next meet up for "this" group is whenever anyone suggests a place and time.
Why is it 85 degrees? To torture me 'cause I'm stuck inside. I'm a warm, sunny day kind of guy.
Can't wait for April. Cold weather ---> BOO! HISS!
