What is the Atlanta Cycling Festival?

The Atlanta Cycling Festival is a week-long festival all around bicycling!

Bicycle rides, bicycle classes, and, of course, bicycle parties.

We planned to continue to facilitate bike fun as we have since 2014, but 2020 took us all by surprise, and like so many, we had to adjust. A positive that came out of one of the most bewildering times of our lives is that many people found solace in one thing that we have always believed in, bikes.

Out of the need to social distance, we created an outlet for some and route alternatives for others, by launching #ACFVirtualFestival and Our Favorite Streets Series!

Our Goals

To be the most impactful bicycle festival in the southeast - Where, for a whole week in Atlanta, GA, you can discover, engage with, and experience bike rides, bike art, bike films, bike tech, bike jobs, bike trends, and more!

We love Atlanta; we love bikes. And we want everyone to enjoy it with us.

Our Mission:

To connect anyone on two wheels to the Atlanta bicycle community. If you have a bike and are in Atlanta, then experience life on two wheels with us! Our hope:

  • For the new and curious rider, we want you to fall in love with bicycling and the city.

  • For the seasoned and confident rider, we want to connect you to even more resources in the city.

  • For participating bike organizations/nonprofits, connect you to the folks mentioned above.

  • For local businesses (bicycling and non-cycling), connect you to all those above.
