Cuisines: Authentic Local
About
Bike/Run/Walk: The tree-lined streets can make for a great run or bike ride, but be advised that central and northern metro Atlanta has steep, hilly terrain. Also, while there are several nice bike paths, many routes are limited to very narrow sidewalks along very dangerous roads. Decatur Walking Tours [33] The city of Decatur and the Decatur Development Authority have six digital walking tours of the city - phone +1 404 371-8386 or email info@decaturga.com for more information. Printed brochures are available at the Decatur Recreation Center, 231 Sycamore St., +1 404 377-0494; the Downtown Development Authority, +1 404 370-4100; and some local shops (i.e., One Step at a Time in Oakhurst). Decatur Bike Tours [34] The city of Decatur has three bike routes mapped out on their website. Bicycle South, 2098 N. Decatur Rd. (at Clairmont Rd.), +1 404 636-4444, [35] has a webpage that lists area bike rides offered by Atlanta's Southern Bicycle League [36]. Bicycle South does not rent bikes, but it sells and repairs bikes - a good resource if your need a repair during a visit. Tree Climbers International, 290 Arizona Ave., southwest of Decatur, +1 404 377-3150 [37]. Offers tree climbing classes for those who love trees, as well as beginner group climbing events, including birthday parties and church, scouting, and school outings. Climb in the "Founder's Grove", where some of the trees have names!
