“Form 990, part iii, line 1 - organization mission to create a healthier, more sustainable atlanta by making it safer, easier, and more attractive to bicycle for fun, fitness, and transportation. Bicycling helps everyone, not just those who ride bicycles, by creating a higher overall quality of life through improved public health, cleaner air, less congestion, and stronger communities. We advocate for better conditions for bicycling, educate bicyclists and drivers alike to share the road, provide resources for overcoming barriers to biking increase confidence while biking, and promote the bicycle as a viable transportation solution and community-building form of recreation and exercise. As the atlanta region continues to grow, challenges in the areas of transportation,air quality, public health, and mobility accumulate. If we are to maintain the quality of life instrumental in attracting growth to our city and region, we must address these issues. What's more, the bicycle industry and bicycle facilities such as lanes and paths add value to the local economy by providing business opportunities and enhancing economic development. Bicycling is a simple solution to vexing problems - we want to make it accessible and attractive to everyone!”

“Form 990, part iii, line 4b - program service accomplishments bike classes-everyones heard the saying, "its like riding a bike - you never forget how." the truth is that many of us learn how to physically ride a bike, but there's a lot more to bicycle safely that we never learn, and things that without practice we would forget (like the emergency quick turn - a vital crash avoidance technique). These compact yet comprehensive classes cover everything you need to know to learn to bike safely and confidently around metro atlanta - from bike handling skill drills to an instructor-led ride with feedback to reinforce what you learn in class. Bicycle rack project- the atlanta bicycle coalition, in collaboration with sopo bicycle co-op (www.sopobikes.org) offers affordable bike racks (installation included) to help make your destination more bicycle friendly.”
