Welcome to Bike Cobb! - Supporting Bicycling in Cobb County, Georgia

Thanks for visiting our Website. Over the past few months, we have established the foundation of this organization. We have partnered with the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign as their Cobb Bicycle User Group (BUG) and will be leveraging their network and organization. As we continue to increase membership, we will be asking people to step forward and participate. We're brainstorming, developing our agenda and setting the stage for the next steps.

Morgan Falls - Trail Alternative Proposed to Park Service

Submitted by joe.seconder on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 08:29
  • Bike lanes, trails, and routes

Hi All,

On June 30th, Linda Bain, the Executive Director of the Sandy Springs Conservancy and I walked the existing trail along the Colonial Pipeline easement from the parking lot at Johnson Ferry north to the dam and Hyde Farm.

Please see the below note and attached document I sent to NPS Superintendent Dan Brown.

My perspective changed just a bit after walking the grounds. ALSO, please understand that the bridge at Morgan Falls– if approved -- would take a few years to be constructed. In the meantime, there’s still a bit that can be achieved.

Poll: Bike Cobb Summer Picnic / BBQ

Submitted by joe.seconder on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 21:48

Summer Picnic / BBQ. Interested? Which Date?
The Bike Cobb board has thought that it would be nice to get together in a
casual social setting. We'd like to invite folks to bring friends, partners and the whole family. A Sunday mid-afternoon would be most convenient.
Getting a count will help us decide the venue. If it's there's lots of potential folks, then we'd hold it at a park. If moderate, then a board member has volunteered to host. We'd most likely do a potluck / BYOB.

To vote, please visit the following web page or send email to: info@bikecobb.org

I attended the Proposed Morgan Falls Bike/Ped Bridge meeting on June 17th in Sandy Springs. (AJC Article here: http://tinyurl.com/nckq3m)

I also attended the first one in late April in Roswell with over 100 folks present and voiced my support. This meeting had around 50 attendees (+/-). There were several folks tonight with the NIMBY syndrome (not in my backyard) concerned about noise, litter, crime, access, etc. But there were a good number of supporters, including many bicyclists and several non-bicyclists (Grandpa & kids, Sharing Nature, etc.).

Ride of Silence

Submitted by Celeste Burr on Fri, 04/03/2009 - 11:57

WEDNESDAY, MAY 20th “Ride Of Silence” (7pm) Cyclists around the world will participate in a unique ride to honor those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways. The rides worldwide begin at precisely 7:00 pm. It is a short ride (about 10-12 miles) at a slow pace (12mph) -- all done in complete silence. Typically, riders wear an armband -- black on those riding in memory of someone killed; or red on those riding to honor someone who has been struck and survived, or if they have been struck themselves before.
