Because of Atlanta's layout, its hilly location on top of the Eastern Continental Divide, and reckless drivers, biking can be unpleasant for getting around the city. As with walking, some parts of town are better suited to it than others. Midtown and Decatur are particularly amenable to bicycles, and quite a few residents in these parts get around with one. Only consider biking if you're practiced at sharing the road in an aggressive urban environment.
The good news is that MARTA allows bicycles on all buses and trains. On buses, you must use the bike racks, which hold 2 bikes and are first-come, first-served.
There's a long multi-use path from Midtown through Decatur out to Stone Mountain.
