We're bringing Bike Club to the Afternoon Extensions program at OAES this spring. And, we asking for help to support cover program expenses for the semester. "So many great things are happening at OAES these days. Our LSGT has worked with community orgs to provide our ASP kids with extracurriculars at no extra cost. Any kid who wants to participate now has access to Little Characters acting classes, Chess and Community, Bike Club with BikeAthens, and so much more! While LSGT funds cover a good chunk of this, we still need a little help. Please donate and/or share if you feel called to do so. Families are strapped for time and money and I love that this program allows our students to experience a wide range of extracurriculars they might not otherwise have access to during ASP hours. No driving around, no late evenings, no additional cost to families!"

Join us this Wednesday, January 14th at 6PM, when we will be presenting our monthly class How to Bike, Athens. We will cover the basics of making sure your bike is in good condition, go over the laws about bike riding, give tips on how to ride safely, how to keep your bike from being stolen, and answer any other bike riding questions you may have. FREE!
We're taking a break and hitting the road to ride some bikes and to enjoy New Year's across the pond. 

No FYOB this week due to the holiday. We will see you again for FYOB in 2026 beginning January 8th.

Big thanks to everyone that donated to the shop this year, with your help we had a great year in 2025 and look forward to what next year brings us!
Join us for a Boxing Day Joy Ride this Friday. The weather looks exceptional!

What to Expect
Joy Rides are casual, 6 to 8 mile rides that last about 90 minutes. 

We recommend that you bring water, a helmet, and bike lights. It is also nice to have a spare inner tube that fits your bike.

We abide by all applicable traffic laws and re-group at safe stops as needed during the ride. We leave nobody behind. All rides include a ride leader who regulates pace and a sweeper to handle mechanical problems if they arise. 

Check the link in bio for the latest route information.
