Visit Macon, in partnership with My City Bikes, has launched a series of self-guided bicycle tours and a mobile application to help users explore the community’s best features on two wheels.
The MyCity Bikes Macon app was made possible by the Community Foundation of Central Georgia’s Downtown Challenge grant which is sponsored by the Peyton Anderson Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
The My City Bikes Macon app is the beginner’s guide to on-road, off-road, and recreational biking in and around Macon. The app is available for free on iTunes for iPhones and iPads, and on Google Play for Android devices. Access interactive digital maps of the bike tours along with turn-by-turn directions in the My City Bikes Macon app, or online at mycitybikes.com/ga-macon.
The Macon self-guided bicycle tours are short day tour routes including historical sites, musical landmarks, iconic architecture and haunted halls.
