BikeSource Charlotte

Check this page often for updated listings of all types of cycling rides.
Rides require, at minimum, an appropriate bike in good working order, water, and a helmet. We suggest a spare tube, patch kit, tire tools and energy food as well. Many rides are held subject to weather. It's a good idea to confirm dates, times, and any specific requirements.

If you have a ride or know of a ride that is not on our schedule, please let us know.
