Sopo Bicycle Cooperative

At Atlanta Streets Alive

Discovered this through some place or another.

We are at Tour De Fat. Looks like a great day, the rain will hold out. Join us for the fun. Shop is closed today so we can all enjoy.

Come support the great organizations of the ABC, SORBA, and SoPo.

It’s not too late to come out and enjoy the fun. Tour De Fat supports the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, SORBA, and SoPo.

Today the shop will be closed. The SoPo crew will be out at Candler Park for Tour De Fat.

Come out and join us and a whole lot of other bikey people for fun and bike merriment.

SoPo High Five!

Here’s a preview of what’s in store for tomorrow at Tour De Fat.

Saw this ad for bike month in the Intown paper. SoPo helped out last year leading a Bike To Work Day bike train. Can you find me in the pictures?

Update: There should be a correction on the ad; Bike To Work Day is Friday May 17th.

One of the frames stripped down for SoPo’s upcoming Art Bikes Benefit.

This frame has memories. The frame is from SoPo. The original paint was stripped off. It was repainted red with 2 tone candy stripe forks. It was a commuter for a while. Used as a bike example for the IRC and a bike safety class.

You can see the original paint at the top of the fork. It was a blue and gold speck frame.

Now it’s going to get a second art life with Art Bikes. A rolling work of art.

The shop will be closed on Saturday May 11th. The SoPo crew will be out at New Belgium Brewing’s Tour de Fat.

We are inviting everyone to come out and ride in the parade, which starts at 11 AM, and stick around for food, beer and live music all afternoon.

You can also volunteer with us, email jd@sopobikes.org.

I found the following from our friends at Urban Velo. What stuck out for me was the following…

What can you do to help your follow cyclists? Watch their backs. Be a witness. Offer aid to those in need. If you see a cyclist stopped on the side of the road ask if they are okay. Offer them use of your tools, or pump. Join an online forum and participate constructively in discussion and debate. Bicycling is not inherently dangerous, but in the city streets a network of aid can be tremendously helpful. Be a part of that network. Join the community, and lend your voice to other bicyclists in proclaiming the popular rallying cry of today, We Are Legion!
