Not only is Georgia Tech a gold-level Bicycle Friendly University, it’s also home to the Path Parkway, one of the best new bikeways of 2017 according to the organization People for Bikes. The campus and surrounding area offer opportunities for faculty and staff to enjoy a bike ride for commuting, running errands, exercise, or leisure.
