Climate Jam
- Beautiful Day at the local park.
- Live Band.
- Lots of neighbors (many on bikes) coming together to raise awareness of environmental issues.
November 3 was National Step It Up Day. A group of my neighbors -- Greenprint Atlanta -- sponsored this event at John Howell Park. Other grassroot organizations throughout the US sponsored their own events on the same day, one year ahead of the US presidential elections.
I was happy to find the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign's (ABC) new director Rebecca Serna manning a booth. She told me ABC was her dream job. Things have been steadily improving for cyclists in Atlanta. With Rebecca now working her dream job, I think the rate of improvement just got turned up a notch or two.

Very nice. It's good to see improvments in the biking situation in Atlanta. My son still won't ride in the city though.
The two of you would make an interesting blog post. Your commute is part car, part bike with lots of interesting photos and commentary. Your son lives near one of the best cycling areas the city has to offer but doesn't ride at all in the city.
Would he join in a group ride through town? On a Sunday morning when there is little traffic?
Jett, thanks for the nice post! It was great meeting you in the park -- keep up the great work with your bike trains and hopefully we will find ways to work together in the future!
