+Bike to Work Week - Success!
Thanks to everyone who biked to work last week! ASAP+ partnered with
the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition and several other organizations across
Atlanta to promote biking to work.
Several of you (old friends and new!) stopped by our Energizer
Station to grab a bagel, some orange juice, and sign up to find a Bike
Buddy before pedaling off to work. If you'd like to see the official
numbers for the rest of the city's participation, go here .
+Bike Pump Available for BikeShare
There is now a tire pump available in the 171 building and at IKEA for all BikeShare Program members. See Concierge for details.
