Our Joy Rides are casual group rides around Athens that provide a fun and safe atmosphere for all skill levels.
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.
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.
Join us tonight for the September Joy Ride. This ride marks the final Joy Ride that will start out from the old shop location on Broad Street.
