Adaptive Cycling
A Unique Cycling Program
Our adaptive Cycling program is based in Atlanta, GA. Through the generous support of our local Atlanta donors we have had the unique opportunity to create an adaptive cycling program on the Silver Comet Trail which consists of monthly rides, fittings, rentals, and joining the community for other races and rides.
Monthly Ride
Each month we ride together out of the Bike Barn on the Silver Comet Trail. There are adaptive bikes available to borrow or bring your own to ride with the group. Cycling volunteers provide support along the trail.
Location: The Bike Barn, 4342 Floyd Rd SW, Mableton, GA 30126
Fee: $10 to rent. Free if you bring your own bike.
Volunteer: Bring your bike and join us to support adaptive cyclists.
