GEORGIA RULES FOR BICYCLING
Bicycles are vehicles under Georgia law, with the same right to travel on the road as other vehicles (with the exception of limited-access highways).
When riding in groups, ride no more than two abreast, and as a courtesy, ride single file when faster traffic needs the space to pass you.
Ride on the right side: Georgia law states that bicyclists should ride as near to the right side of the street as “practicable.”
Light up the night: Every bicycle, while being used in the dark in Georgia, must be equipped with a white front light and rear red reflector, each visible from 300 feet.
Sidewalks are for walking: It is illegal for adults (over 12 years of age) to ride bicycles on the sidewalk in the state of Georgia.
Wear a helmet: Bicycle helmets are required for everyone under age 16 and encouraged for everyone else.
Take the lane: If the bike lane is too narrow or next to on-street parking, you may want to take the lane (ride in the middle of the traffic lane) at your discretion.
For more information: See Georgia Code sections 36-60-5, 40-1-1, and 40-6-290 through 40-6-299 for details on these and all other laws regarding bicycling in Georgia atwww.legis.state.ga.us
INTERACTING WITH DRIVERSIf you encounter an irate motorist, be polite, regardless of her/his behavior. To report an aggressive or harassing driver, or if you are involved in a car-bike crash, call 911. Please report all crashes, as this data contributes to bike improvements in Atlanta. Be ready with a vehicle and location description, a license plate number and state, and an account of what happened.
SAFETY TIPS FOR BICYCLISTS
Ride on the road: Your risk of being hit by a car is actually higher on the sidewalk than in the road. Bicyclists on the sidewalk are less visible to drivers, especially at intersections and driveways.
Ride predictably: Ride in a straight line 18-36 inches from thecurb in order to make yourself more visible to drivers. This will also give you space to maneuver and avoid hazards.
Route Selection: Scout your route to find streets that work for you. Remember, your driving route might not be the best way to get there by bike.
Be visible: Wear brighly colored or reflective clothing. From dusk till dawn and in low light conditions use a strong white headlight and rear red light and/or reflector.
Ride with traffic (in the same direction): Motorists and other bicyclists are not expecting bicyclists coming toward them from the opposite direction. Protect yourself from a crash by riding in the same direction as the flow of traffic.
Expect the unexpected: Never assume a motorist sees you. Anticipate parked vehicles pulling into traffic, vehicle doors opening in front of you, and debris or other hazards on the road. Respect right of way rules.
Trail Etiquette: When riding on popular trails remember to pass on the left and be courteous to those traveling at a slower speed. With the use of a bell and/or loudly stating “on your left,” try to alert a slower traveler that you are about to pass them, then be sure to slow down and pass.

Bicyclists are responsible for their own safety. This map was created by the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition (ABC), in partnership with the Downtown Transportation Management Association (TMA) and Midtown Transportation Solutions as an aid for bicycling in the Downtown and Midtown areas. The roadways shown on this map are used by automobiles, buses and trucks and typically do not have special facilities for bicycle travel. Midtown Transportation Solutions, the Downtown TMA and ABC in no way warrant the safety of the roadways or any other facilities on this map for use by bicyclists. Bicyclists using these roadways and other facilities assume all responsibilities for their own safety. A bicyclist should use these roadways and other facilities only if he or she has the requisite skill level as a bicyclist, and the bicyclist must make that determination. Bicyclists assume the risk to their own safety when using this map. There are no warranties made in connection with this map, and Midtown Transportation Solutions, the Downtown TMA and ABC shall not be held responsible for any damages (consequential, special or otherwise) arising from its use.
