Authentic, Urban Bike Tour

"Whether you walk or bike with Nedra, this tour will be an authentic and active pursuit of the history, people, and stories of the civil rights era in a small area of Atlanta teeming with relevance. Enjoy the connections and reflect on the new knowledge at a local cafe afterwards. You'll be halfway through a great day!"

Janet - Decatur, GA

Fun & Inspired Learning

"You could really hear and see the echoes of the civil rights movement in the tour. She did an excellent job of balancing the riding with the stops and kept our attention throughout the entire tour. It was just right balance of vigor and ease of riding."

Carrie - Canton MI

Rewarding Bike Ride Through Atlanta's History

"Nedra took us on an exciting tour detailing Atlanta’s contribution to the civil rights movement. We also reeled in the local street art, enjoyed refreshing smoothies made by local business owners, and rode through some gorgeous places we hadn't thought to explore ourselves. These experiences and authentic conversations have never been more important than today, and were the highlight of our Atlanta trip."

Imanuela - Boston, MA
