Northern Georgia, along with the eclectic city of Atlanta, has become known as one of the top cycling areas in our region; with over 40 miles of specified biking lanes throughout the city. As an increase in conscientious environmental awareness continues to spread across the globe, more and more Atlanta commuters are transitioning to cycling.

Atlanta remains a very popular cyclist town, with its thriving urban communities, temperate climate, and many great recreational destinations.

Common bicycle crash causes and safety regulations to come:

As one of the most popular recreational sports, the vast majority of cyclists continue to face a number of challenges. Incidents are often caused by collision with moving or immobile objects; and they also have to deal with situations like hazardous roads, distracted drivers and pedestrians.

Atlanta cyclists are still considered to be unsafe, in comparison to other cycling cities. While government officials have several plans in the works, such as The Walk. Bike. Thrive! initiative (which is projected to reduce cycling accidents and related casualties significantly over the next 25 years), bikers still need reliable legal counsel now to aid in battling their current environment.
