Come join us for our end of the year celebration of youth biking in Middle Georgia. 2020 has been a transformative year and we want to share the “bike love” to all our supporters. The event is a $10 suggested donation but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If you want to become a sponsor before the event, email ucreatemacon@gmail.com for more information.

My Bike Macon Photo Series
The “My Bike Macon project” is an ongoing series of portraits and profiles of Maconites who use a bicycle to get around for more than just recreation. These photos highlight people who bike to get to work or school, or bike to run errands, or bike to improve their health. Together, these images and stories begin to form a portrait of Macon as an emerging bicycling city. This project is launched by Bike Walk Macon and photographer Dsto Moore to help celebrate Bike Walk Month, but it will continue to highlight different photographers and bicycle commuters every month.
