Level terrain, great weather and tree lined streets: A seemingly great town for bicycles, though we face obstacles to riding every day — poorly maintained bikeways, lack of secure parking, aggressive motorists, uninformed police.
Our primary objectives are education for cyclists and motorists about the best ways to share the road, advocacy for improved bicycle facilities in Chatham County, and promoting bicycling as a healthy, safe activity for recreation and sustainable transportation.
