A Fun, Social, Recreational Group Utility Publicity Ride
This morning I helped move the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign's offices by bicycle. It makes sense that Atlanta's largest and oldest cycling advocacy group would do this by bike, but I was still so tickled to actually be lugging copy paper, books, rubber bands, and file folders in my panniers along with a bunch of other fully-loaded bicycle riders.
A group of loaded down cyclists riding through downtown gets attention from passerby. One guy was trying to hitch a ride. We told him, "Sorry, this is a freight train, not a passenger train!"
Bikes are automatically more fun. This would have been actual work if we had to do it some other way, but on bikes, we were just out for another (severely weighed-down) group ride with friends.
I took a few shots. I'm looking forward to photos taken by others.
We needed more fun stories in the paper. Look for us in the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

That's fantastic! What a fun way to move to a new office. And it's so true that anything is more fun if done on a bike. Great photos, too.
