Route Details

Atlanta's Beltline trail and the food scene are a marriage made in heaven. Take a relaxed, 3+ mile tour of 3 foodie hotspots while taking in breathtaking murals along the trail. And if you need to work up an appetite between food stops, we've noted 2 parks and the Stone Mountain Trail to explore. The route is curated and inspired by "Will Bike for Food", an article published in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution written by its food and dining editor Ligaya Figueras.

"You’ll love Atlanta,' friends and colleagues said when they found out I was moving here. In the same breath came the warning: "You’ll hate the traffic."

Oh, swell! How was I going to learn this city and its maze of culinary destinations if I was stuck in traffic all day? I needed a plan of action and decided my crash course was absolutely going to involve alternative forms of transportation lest I go nuts hearing the Weeknd’s "Can’t Feel My Face" on every radio station while my car idled on I-85.

I appreciate MARTA (thanks to Atlanta Journal-Constitution radio and TV reporter Rodney Ho, I now correctly refer to the train as just “MARTA” instead of “the MARTA”), but I wish she went further in every direction, so I could more easily get outside the Perimeter.

Enter into the picture my bike: a reliable, comfortable Marin hybrid that can handle street and sidewalk just as easily as a trail. Call me crazy for attempting to cycle in a car town, but biking gets you up close and personal with neighborhoods while giving you the mobility to hop from one ’hood to the next far easier than on foot (Will Bike for Food, AJC, Oct 2015).
