By reducing 2.5% of the car trips in Georgia, we could save 1 million metric tons of emissions per year (Drawdown Georgia). The Dope Pedalers are a group of Atlanta cyclists with the goal of building community on and off the bike through weekly rides. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, then go with a group.” To learn more about Dope Pedalers, follow them on social media (Instagram: @dopepedalers).To learn more about biking as a climate solution for Georgia, visit Drawdown Georgia at www.drawdownga.org/solutions/transportation/.
