Local Markets by Bike

Riding your bike to the market is good. Since most food on your plate travels 1,500 miles, a market that sells only locally grown food is that much better. This 15-mile bike ride on Saturday Sept. 27 will cruise from local market to local market in Atlanta's Intown neighborhoods, and you can join them (follow this link).

Usually I don't promote a ride in which I won't actually participate, but this ride is just too brilliant. I wish I thought of it. I wish I could ride in it (I've committed to the Silver Comet Grand Opening Ride on the same date).

One of the destinations -- down the street from me -- is the oldest certified Organic Market in the US, the Morningside Farmer's Market.
