Editor's pick: I’m so excited to see Chattanooga’s bike transit system (and all alternative transportation options) continue to grow. I’ve recently started following a new Facebook page called ChattaTransit that provides lots of educational + fun information about the city’s public and alternative transit system. Give it a “like” if you’re interested, too.
