If your specific question is not addressed here, please contact:

John Becker, Bike Tour Coordinator, john@atlblp.org,(404) 446-4409.

What level of cycling proficiency is needed to participate in this tour?

Participants should be at least 13 years of age, comfortable riding a bike, knowledgeable of basic cycling etiquette and rules of the road, and capable of completing a 9-mile trip over relatively flat terrain (there are a few small hills). Keep in mind, this is a leisurely tour, not a vigorous training ride.

What should I bring/wear?

Riders should bring a multi-gear bicycle in good working condition, wear comfortable clothing and shoes, wear a helmet, and bring along a water bottle and any snacks you’d like during the tour. As a reminder, helmets are required by law for participants 16 years of age or under and we strongly encourage all participants to wear a helmet.

I don’t have a bike. Can I still participate?

Bike and helmet rentals are available from our bike rental partner, Clutch Bike Shop. They will deliver your rental bike and helmet to Lee + White prior to the tour and collect them when the tour is over. Contact them directly at 404-594-4205 for more information or to arrange for a rental. Tell them you're signing up for an Atlanta BeltLine bike tour. The cost to rent a bike and helmet for the entire tour is $30 per person.

All the reservations are full. Is there a waiting list?

Yes, the registration system we use will allow you to put your name on a waiting list if there is no room left when you try to register.

Where does the tour meet? Is there parking?

Meet in the parking lot of the Lee + White development, 1020 White St. in West End where ample free parking is available. Specifically, meet near the West End wall mural at the north end of the parking lot. Feel free to stay after the tour to enjoy the many amenities offered by Lee + White (Monday Night Garage, Wild Heaven Brewery, Hop City, Boxcar Gastropub, Atlanta Spirit Works and more).

Is this a rain-or-shine ride?

If inclement weather (rain and/or thunder and lightning) is forecast for your time, you will receive notice of tour cancellation from your tour guide no later than 7:30 a.m. on the morning of the tour. In most cases, we will make that call the evening before the tour and send the cancellation notice out then.
