Sopo Bicycle Co-op’s annual fund raiser, bicycle scavenger hunt, and dance party is coming up this weekend in Atlanta!
At least year’s event, 150 cyclists raised over $2000 for the local nonprofit.
Located right in the heart of East Atlanta, Sopo Bicycle Co-op is an amazing resource for local cyclists. The shop provides tools, education and free bicycle maintenance to anyone who pops in with a ride. You can even build your own bike there! Frames and various parts are available on a suggested donation basis, and their knowledgeable volunteers are always around to help out during shop hours.

Broken Hearts and Bicycle Parts is a two day event to raise money so the co-op can keep doing its thing: building community through building bikes and bicycle education. On Friday night, there’s a benefit party at Lenny’s Bar featuring a fantastic lineup of local bands and DJs. Saturday at 7pm is the alley cat race, a scavenger hunt all on bikes! This year, they’re encouraging folks to team up and grab a costume.
As with all their events, Sopo is connecting out-of-towners with places to stay. If you’re looking to come to Atlanta to hit up this event, you can contact them through the events page!
