Velo Atlanta Bio

The Velo Atlanta Cycling Club was founded in April 2011 with a mission to promote cycling in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area by facilitating an enjoyable and positive cycling atmosphere through sponsorship of both competitive and participatory events.

We welcome and include cyclists of all abilities and interests, and promote the physical and mental health benefits that cycling provides for all lifestyles.

We support numerous organizations and programs throughout the metro Atlanta area. Our efforts have included collecting and distributing sleeping bags and toiletries to the homeless community, donating foodstuffs to local foodbanks, and contributing the proceeds from our Charity Rides to Organizations to assist in combatting human and sexual trafficking while also providing guidance and alternatives to “at-risk” kids in the community. Our members also actively volunteer and support other cycling clubs and organizations throughout the metro Atlanta area during other charity rides and cycling events.
