W.O.W !!!! What a great idea - "just like riding a bike".
As a first time visitor to the amazing ATL, I was looking for a unique way to not only see "cheesy" touristy stuff, but to also surprise my highly athletic honey who has been to Hotlanta numerous times. Bicycle Tours of Atlanta provided the perfect happy medium - a 3 hour tour on bike where both of our endorphins could flow happily, pictures could be taken, and sights could be seen! YESSS!
Note - just because one of us is highly athletic, doesn't mean the other one is. For my fellow couch potatos: DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED - YOU CAN DO THIS! I was honest with Robyn and mentioned I hadn't been on a bike for almost a decade. It was evident as we started off. Let me just mention - the bike that I was on a decade ago did not look like the bike that is provided for the tour. What are all these gears and handles and chains? Yikes. Although I had already signed a disclaimer, Robyn kept a watchful eye and gave me a quick refresher session in the parking lot. Along with the refresher session came a pep talk and a threat that she would remove me from the tour if she viewed me as a hazard to myself or more importantly, to moving vehicles. (yes, you will play in traffic in the Heart of Atlanta tour). I appreciated her honesty and her swift kick in the huevos, shaped up, and completed the tour happy, with amazing photos, and most importantly, great memories!
We took the Heart of Atlanta tour and saw so many great neighborhoods, parks, districts, and learned so much history on the way. Highlights included the Martin Luther King memorial, Grant Park, Inman Park, Studioplex, Little 5 Points, Cabbagetown, Oakland Cemetary, Fox Theater, and so much more. Robyn has some amazing photo spots picked out where she will take your photo, and her historical factoids are very interesting and informative.
Not enough praise can be given about Robyn - not only do I love that she is "carpe diem'ing" and taking opportunities to follow her passion - but it's contagious.
