In honor of the first Atlanta Streets Alive, kicking off in less than 2 hours in Woodruff Park, here are some photos of Bike Day, hosted by WQXI (now 790 the Zone). I think Bike Day was possibly in 1971, and the moment was definitely captured by Boyd Lewis.
See all of Lewis’ Bike Day photos at the Atlanta History Center archives.
Listen to Dr. Don Rose on WQXI in 1967.

Oh, wow! I can’t decide if it is comforting or depressing to see that life in Atlanta maybe hasn’t changed all that much since 71.
Great photos from 1971
There are some good looking hippie girls in those photos…
