** UPDATE **  This Event has sold out.  If you are on the Waiting List and you have a ticket, please email me and I will promote you.  I've also changed the meeting time to 3:00 pm instead of 3:15 pm.  It is going to be very crowded and traffic will be congested.

The Atlanta Cycling Festival is proud and excited to partner with Living Walls for the 2014 Living Walls Bicycle Tour!   

Come join us on a fantastic and artistic "Inner City" bicycle tour of many of the 2014 Living Walls murals. You'll get a limited print bicycle spoke card, a unique chance to mingle with the founders and organizers of the Living Walls Conference and be the first to see the completed projects!  Plus you'll be surrounded by hundreds of fellow cyclists and get to see new places in Atlanta!  It will be a fun, hot day of touring and biking.  All bike types are welcome.

Afterwards (optionally) we can meet somewhere for dinner / drinks if schedules permit.  Inman Park and Little Five Points are in the immediate area, we can decide then.
 
NOTE:  This event costs $5 (+$1.12 fee)to register with the Event Organizer.  

Please register with them first, before signing up for the AOC ride.
