Bicycle and Walk Tips

Here are some great ideas on bicycling and walking, as well as safety information.

Ride a Bicycle Part of the Way

Some people can ride a bicycle all the way to work. However, if you can't, consider combining your bicycle commute with transit. Bicycles are allowed on MARTA, CCT and Gwinnett County Transit at any time of day. Call ahead for more information.
