I’m out on one of my first days this spring, enjoying a bicycle ride from one end of Atlanta to the other. The quality of the experience is directly related to the repurposing of abandoned railroad lines in our city, primarily by the Path Foundation. Without the dedication of large tracts of real estate to … Read more
The full beltline slowly falls into place as a result of continuous effort. It might take several more years before its a completely finished trail around the whole city. I dream of the day when I can go out on my bicycle and ride the whole thing. It can be done in large measure today … Read more
Atlanta can be a very busy place. Even with good bicycle-travel infrastructure, that doesn’t mean it’s a quiet and tranquil area (a nice day on the beltline will be crowded with lots of pedestrian and bicycle traffic). That’s why I was delighted to find this area yesterday when I was running an errand down to … Read more
You couldn’t tell it from following my posts here, but back in March I broke my leg bad. My tibia has five nails in it now. I’ve been slowly getting back on my feet and walking for about six months now. That’s why I haven’t been posting here much especially about riding bicycles. I’ve been … Read more
Downtown Atlanta just took a major step forward in bike-ability now that at least much of the planned westside beltline connector is open to the public. Yesterday I road on the trail and took some pictures you can see below. This is a really sweet trail going thru such a busy part of the city … Read more
I love the nature trails up the hill along Katie Kerr and the Decatur Greenway. This is an easy walk just up the hill and then we’re off-road. I’m hooked on a daily walk or more around Postal Pond with my dog Apollo. Here are a few pictures along the way…
The Path Foundation has been steadily making progress on new trails. The map shown above outlines the planned extension to the Silver Comet trail, recently approved by The Georgia Board of Natural Resources… Board members unanimously approved agreements with Cobb County, the state Department of Transportation and the Forest Park-based nonprofit PATH Foundation to add … Read more
Look at the picture of Postal Pond (above). It’s hard to tell where the water edge starts. The bottom half of the picture is the pond. The reflection is so crisp and still the camera can hardly tell. What a nice morning dew on everything. The weather couldn’t be better lately. There’s a big field … Read more
I love making this ride to Arabia Mountain on my bicycle. It was a crisp fall morning. Almost cold! That puts energy in my legs. Soon I make my way down behind Martin Luther High School close to Panola Mountain. This is the start of about 15 miles of really pretty and varied geology that … Read more
The Southside Beltline Trail has been partially open for more than a year at least. While the trail remains incomplete and unpaved, the trail already stands out as a unique tour thru backyards, industry, open fields and greenspaces, all in the heart of southside Atlanta and downtown. Yesterday I rode on the trail picking it … Read more
