Georgia Bikes partnered with Saris Cycling Group, a manufacturer of bicycle racks and cycling training products, to launch a poster contest to get fifth graders to think about the benefits of the bicycle.  We asked 5^th grade students in Georgia to create a poster around the theme “Bicycling takes me places!”  The purpose of the contest is to promote youth riding bicycles as a way to lead an active lifestyle.
