Yeah, I have been at lights where I will press the pedestrian walk button and nothing happens. The light just goes thru it's cycle. They are like elevator close buttons they are just for show.

I call them Beg Buttons.
As in Beg for a small window of time (sometime next week) to cross the a road while allowing right turning cars the chance to plow into you.
there are a few scattered around atlanta that actually function, but that seems to be the exception more than the norm
it is no coincidence that drugs are that are illegal here are legal there.
Any tips on dealing with dogs on bike rides? They are getting bigger and sound meaner. I had a big chocolate lab chase me today. I don’t know if it is the chase for him or is he going to take a chomp out of me.
On the rare occasions this has happened to me.......I just pick up my pedaling pace until I slowly increase the space between me and my pursuer(s). After a short while they realize what's happening and give up the chase.
On those rare occasions for me, I put my size 11 out and press it on the snout. They get the message and do not charge me anymore. In all my years of riding, I have only had to kick one who was crazed. I pick up my pace also and they fall back.
Holy crap. He is very lucky. On a side note though, that was a nice bike lane. I have to ride on back roads and dodge dogs but I don’t really worry about many cars like in a highway.
after dwindling milage in both 2022 and 23, in 2024 i made a goal to just ride more and ended up matching my milage from 2021 which was my highest milage year.
in 2025, i made the same goal. just ride more. today, i am about 115 miles short of last year's total. i don't think i will hit it before i leave on vacation next friday, but i may be able to come close depending on what my weekend ride looks like. a big chunk of my miles this year has come from commuting. i have been riding to work 1-2 days per week since this time last year, and due to changes in my wife's and my work schedule this fall, i may be riding 3, sometimes 4 days per week.
i've been making good use of all of the new beltline sections that are going in too.
Runners, walkers, cyclists and scooters can now go 6.7 continuous miles on the Atlanta Beltline – the longest stretch completed so far – with the opening of a new segment of the Westside Trail this week.
Beltline users can travel on an uninterrupted paved trail from the Pittsburgh neighborhood to Blandtown, linking downtown to the west side, with the completion of the new 1.3-mile segment.
