U.S. Bicycle Route 21 (USBR 21), is Georgia’s first USBR designation. The route terminates in downtown Atlanta at the Five Points MARTA Train Station, leaves Atlanta on Peachtree Street, and then connects to the Silver Comet Trail. USBR 21 deviates north from the Silver Comet Trail in the city of Cedartown. The route is then mainly on two-lane country roads to bring bicyclists through northwest Georgia to Chattanooga.
