Come ride with us! Our bike events around Asheville are famously fun. Seriously: Relationships have blossomed, smiles have spread, homes have been found, new low traffic routes discovered, infrastructure has been planned – and of course, bikes have been ridden. Most events are free and open to anyone interested (we’ll say so if it’s a closed event or if there’s a fee).

*With the exception for the time we made you ride up to Helen’s bridge on Beaucatcher. But later that seemed fun too! Our rides often feature multiple route choices, so there is something for everyone. Hat tip to whoever that was pulling the kid in the trailer up to Helen’s bridge.
