Joy Rides are casual, 6 to 8 mile rides that last about 90 minutes. We finish with an optional social gathering downtown or at our shop. We ride on the last Friday of the month, starting at 6:00 pm at our shop at 1075 West Broad Street.
We recommend that you bring water, a helmet, and bike lights. It is also nice to have a spare innertube 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. Get in touch if you would like to know the route ahead of the ride.
Please see our calendar for upcoming rides.
