Fix Your Own Bike is tonight from 6PM-8:30PM. $10/hr suggested donation. Link in bio. Tonight is the last FYOB session before our Joy Ride tomorrow night. If you need help with your bike, roll it down to our place tonight and we'll help you figure it out. We are always here with the tools and solid advice to help you get the job done. If you just need the tools and space to work, you got it. We are fully vaxxed and we hope you are too. If you haven't had your vaccine(s), this is the perfect excuse to get it now. We'll have the doors open for air circulation and try to keep everyone spaced apart so we can work safely. If it gets crowded we may have to have you schedule an appointment for later. Programming Note: Tonight's soundtrack will feature full plays of Jackie Shane - Any Other Way (2017), and Temples - Sun Structures (2014). All bikes are welcome. . . . . . . . . #my_athens #athensga #BikeAthens #FixEmAll #RideBright #thebikeistheanswer #wekeepheavymetalrolling #cycling #outsideisfree #roadbikes #bikesafety #ridesafe #bikesafety #cycling #mtb #mountainbike #mountainbiking #mtbiking #biking #freeride #bikes #bikelife #cycle #instabike #bikestagram #ride #keepoldbikesontheroad #26aintdead #whyAthensGA #ridemoredomore #keeppedaling #nonprofit

Tomorrow is World Bicycle Day! Created by the United Nations, World Bicycle Day recognizes the many benefits and joys of biking globally. Help us celebrate by riding your bike, and stop by tomorrow's FYOB session to celebrate bikes! Why celebrate the bicycle? Regular physical activity of moderate intensity – such as walking, cycling, or doing sports – has significant benefits for health. At all ages, the benefits of being physically active outweigh potential harm, for example through accidents. Some physical activity is better than none. By becoming more active throughout the day in relatively simple ways, people can quite easily achieve the recommended activity levels. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), safe infrastructure for walking and cycling is also a pathway for achieving greater health equity. For the poorest urban sector, who often cannot afford private vehicles, walking and cycling can provide a form of transport while reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, diabetes, and even death. Accordingly, improved active transport is not only healthy; it is also equitable and cost-effective. Meeting the needs of people who walk and cycle continues to be a critical part of the mobility solution for helping cities de-couple population growth from increased emissions, and to improve air quality and road safety. The COVID-19 pandemic has also led many cities to rethink their transport systems.
