Make friends and enjoy the city at a relaxed pace!
Our Joy Rides are casual group rides around Athens that provide a fun and safe atmosphere for all skill levels.
What to Expect
Joy Rides are casual, last about 90 minutes, and finish with a social gathering downtown. We ride on the last Friday of the month, starting at 6:00 pm at our headquarters at 1075 West Broad Street.
We recommend that you bring water, a helmet, and bike lights.
We abide by all applicable traffic laws, and re-group during the ride to allow people to catch up. We leave nobody behind.
Upcoming Rides
Joy Rides are every last Friday of the month at 6pm.
Other Group Rides
If you’re looking for other groups to do longer road rides with, visit Athens GA Bicycling, Nitty Gritty Bike Band, and Cantilopes Beginner Bike Rides.
Just a quick reminder that the Joy Ride this Friday will take place after dark at 9PM. If you need lights, let us know. We want to make sure everyone rides bright! Route update soon. #RideBright #joyride
