Cycling in Atlanta
Cycling in Atlanta has grown in popularity in recent years, from 0.33% of commutes in 2000 to 1.1% in 2009,〔http://www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2011/09/substantial-increases-bike-ridership-across-nation/161/〕〔http://www.bikesatwork.com/carfree/census-lookup.php?state_select=ALL_STATES&sort_num=1&lower_pop=250000&upper_pop=999999999&first_row=25&show_rows=25〕 aided by improving cycling infrastructure and community support. Although Atlanta has historically been a city defined by the automobile, its increasingly compact urban form and mild climate are encouraging residents to cycle to work, shopping, and recreational destinations. Though Atlanta's famed hilly topography can make cycling difficult, many parts of the city are relatively flat, including some of the more densely populated areas. However, heavy automobile traffic, the lack of bike lanes on many streets, and difficulty in crossing major streets deter most residents from cycling frequently in Atlanta.〔http://clatl.com/atlanta/atlantas-cycling-community-needs-some-help/Content?oid=1571841〕
==History==
Prior to 2000, Atlanta's car-choked roads were rarely shared with cyclists. In fact, cycling was associated with those who couldn't afford automobile transportation. However, during the 2000s, due to Atlanta's increasing density, burgeoning intown population, and green ambitions, cycling boomed in popularity. Bike advocacy groups, including Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, began planning bike-centric social events and lobbying city leaders for more cycling infrastructure.〔
