CYCLING AND CORONAVIRUS RESOURCES
We have assembled these resources about cycling during the COVID-19 virus and will update them as new material becomes available. However, please consult guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Georgia Department of Public Health, and local authorities as your primary sources of information about safety in your community. You can also use our directory to connect with cycling organizations around Georgia for information on local riding conditions. At this time, social distancing is absolutely necessary when cycling, as are best practices for safe cycling. If you see additional resources that you think are worthy of inclusion here, please let us know.
