There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

As bike share programs have popped up around the country, the City of Atlanta plans to build on the success of other cities with a program geared to the terrain of Atlanta. Georgia Tech Assistant Professor Kari Watkins explains that a system of 50 bike stations around the city will allow users to hop on one of 500 bicycles for a small fee and travel to their destination. “And when you’re ready to go back, you can grab a different one and go back to where it was you started from," says Watkins.
