For Livable Buckhead, next month is Biketober

Livable Buckhead is turning October into Biketober, according to a press release. Whether you’re a two-wheeled wonder or you haven’t been on a bike since you took off the training wheels, Biketober has something for you.

The fun begins on Thursday, Oct. 4 when Livable Buckhead, AMLI Buckhead and AMLI 3464 host the first of two bike-in movie nights. The ’90s Halloween classic “Hocus Pocus” will be the bigscreen feature at Marie Sims Park, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Food trucks from the Atlanta Street Food Coalition will be on hand for anyone who wants to enjoy an outdoor dinner and a movie.

The kids get their turn for a bike-in movie on Friday, Oct. 19 when “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial” is the main feature in Old Ivy Park beginning at 6:30 p.m. Livable Buckhead will provide popcorn, and picnicking is encouraged.

Biking is more than just a fun way to get to the movies — it can also be a great way to get to work.

To encourage more people to give bike commuting a try, Livable Buckhead is partnering with Georgia Commute Options and Love to Ride on the Atlanta Bike Challenge.

This monthlong competition invites people to take as many trips as possible by bike, earning points for each 10-minute trip and giving them chances to win prizes including a new bike valued at up to $1,000.

Bikers can register to participate as part of a workplace team, a cycling club or as an individual.

Biking in Buckhead has never been easier, thanks to PATH400.

Join Livable Buckhead and Roam: Buckhead for a bike-in breakfast on Wednesday, Oct. 24 at 7:30 a.m., and learn more about the growing connections along the multipurpose trail from Lindbergh to the Buckhead core.

A panel of experts from Livable Buckhead, the Buckhead Community Improvement District and Atlanta Regional Commission will be on hand to answer questions and give a preview of the future of bike options across the region. Coffee and a light breakfast will be served.
