The Georgia Bike-Walk-Live Summit is at The Graduate in downtown Athens from the afternoon of Thursday, November 16th through the morning of Saturday, November 18th.

About the event
PTK Play Day on the Block
You`re invited! Please join the Athens Technical College chapter of Phi Theta Kappa for our student-sponsored Play Day on the Block community service event on Saturday, November 18, 2023, from 12:00 - 3:00 pm at Bishop Park in Athens.

Play Day on the Block is where kids and families get active, play at the park, and enjoy festivities while receiving helpful information from resource organizations and agencies dedicated to helping families in Athens. We know play is essential for increasing mindfulness, positivity, and wellness. Part of our mission is to show how play is transformative to the mind and can help improve community wellness. The event will feature team games like a wiffleball tournament, kickball, corn hole, giant Jenga, food trucks, and live music by Dooley & Baldwin.

We are out at Memorial Hall on campus for the Fall Sustainability Fair & Green Cup Celebration tuning up bikes until 6:30pm. Come by and say hello!

We are meeting up in front of the new shop tonight at 6PM for this month`s Joy Ride. A little over 5 miles through some chill neighborhood streets, and we make sure no one gets left behind. We`ll be hanging at @athenticbrewing for drinks and the Taqueria truck after.

Registration is open for our next True Beginner class! We are once again partnering with ACC Trails and Open Space to bring this class to the community.

The class is designed for adults that never learned how to ride as a kid. We`ll go over balancing on the bike, proper technique for stopping and starting and practice some parking lot maneuvers if there is time. It`s a good way to build skills by starting from the beginning. The goal is to offer a dedicated time and space to practice some basic skills and answer any questions that come up.

Sign up today! Link in bio.

Join us tomorrow at 6pm for our Porchfest 2023 Kick Off Ride. We`ll roll out from our new location and ride through all of the Porchfest neighborhoods, ending back at Athentic Brewing just in time for Athens History Trivia featuring questions on everything Athens, Georgia.

Everyone knows that Porchfest is this Sunday, but did you know that the best way to get around it is by bike? That`s why BikeAthens is partnering with @HistoricAthens again to offer free bike repairs for anyone biking around the event. We will be at our new shop location from 12pm-6pm, right in the center of it all. If you have a flat tire or any other mechanical issues, txt 706-249-9550 or stop by the shop.
We`re right across from Athentic Brewing, under the new Daily Grocery.
