What to Expect
These rides are all about enjoying your city by bike at a social, conversational pace. Routes include planned “gather-up” spots so no one gets left behind, and you can preview or download turn-by-turn directions ahead of time.
Each ride is supported by Asheville on Bikes staff to help with navigation, questions, and anything that comes up along the way. Before rolling out, the ride leader will give a quick overview of the route and what to expect, and make sure everyone feels ready to ride.
Always be prepared for fun and frolic along the way as well as special incentives and deals sponsored by New Belgium Brewing and Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ.https://photos.app.goo.gl/jwKyAq2YMVBz227Y8
