Light up the Night - On Bikes!

Does your bike have lights? If it doesn't, you'll especially be interested in this ride because the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign -- thanks to a seed donation from REI and Free Flight Bicycles -- is providing bicycle lights for anyone who shows up for this ride on a bike without lights. Of course, if you have lights, you can still ride with us. The more the merrier.

We're happy to be riding with the inventor of the Speed Vest which displays your speed on your back as your ride. Visit his site to see just how cool this is, and then come ride alongside him as we head to Atlantic Station's Tree Lighting.

I'll be leading this family-paced ride out of Virginia-Highland's Aurora Coffee starting at 4:15 on Saturday, November 22, arriving at Sopo Bicycle Co-operative in East Atlanta Village around 5:00PM where the lights will be distributed. We'll leave Sopo at 5:30 to distribute more lights at Atlantic Station and arrive in time for the Tree Lighting at 7:30. Bike Valet will be provided by ABC volunteers so we can stop for supper and other activities. Follow the link to Atlantic Station for the schedule of events.

Around 8PM, we'll head back to Virginia-Highland for a total of about 17 miles.

All are welcome to join us at any of the locations -- including Atlantic Station -- but only the departure times from Aurora Coffee and Sopo are definite at this time.
