Cobb cyclists may face 'cruising' law

By CRAIG SCHNEIDER
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 01/24/07

Cyclists beware! Cobb County officials may set up some legal roadblocks to cycling on one of the most popular places to ride in metro Atlanta, with fines of up to $500.

With its flat surface, wide shoulders and lack of parked cars, Columns Drive along the Chattahoochee River in east Cobb draws dozens of cyclists on a nice day, including many who use the road as their training track, riding lap after lap up and down the 2 1/2 mile street.

But angry residents who live along the road in homes that cost upward of $1 million say the cyclists whip along three or more abreast, cutting off cars, crowding the roadway and scaring people even as they step out to their mailbox.

Tuesday evening, the county Board of Commissioners held a public hearing on the proposed "cruising" ordinance that would crack down on those who go back and forth along the road. The ordinance would fine anyone who rides past a given point twice in an hour. The law would not apply to cars and other motor vehicles, but would affect skateboarders and roller skaters.

Biking advocates say the new law would effectively shut down the road to many riders. It would be the first such law in metro Atlanta and possibly in the country, said Dennis Hoffarth, executive director of the advocacy group the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign. Hoffarth believes any type of anti-cycling law would be a black eye to Cobb and metro Atlanta.

But residents who live along the Chattahoochee River say they've had enough of dangerous, inconsiderate and, at times, rude cyclists.

"Some of these guys get out of control," said resident Lawrie Jordan. "One time, there were four of them riding together, and we gently hit the horn. One of them started following us home, and verbally abusing my wife."
