New web site for bike lovers

New

web site for bike lovers

When local cyclists

and tourists look to get back on a bike this summer, they

may wonder where to find some appealing places to ride.

The North

Georgia Bike Dealers Association has the answers with its

newly updated web site - bike4fun.com.

"This

web site is a great resource for people interested in

learning more about cycling in Georgia," said Allen

Griffin, owner of Perpetual Motion Bicycle Shop Inc. in

Carrollton. "People should bookmark it and view it

regularly because its contents are always changing."

The web

site offers an events and race calendar with regularly

updated race results, which has been popular with local

competitors. Bike4fun.com also features descriptions of

places to ride throughout Georgia, including newly opened

paths and locations not traditionally thought of as

cycling destinations.

Several

bicycle shops have links to additional sites filled with

more cycling tips and news.

"Many

times riders use the site to find local places to ride

and discover many locations just outside their door,

which they never knew existed," said Griffin.

"The site also has a feedback form which encourages

cyclists to input their own favorite riding spots; that

way the list keeps on growing."

In

addition, cyclists can locate reputable bike shops and

get further information about the North Georgia Bike

Dealers Association along with the Association's Get Back

on a Bike! month giveaways during May.
