Join the crew from Bell Lap Cycleworks for their weekly gravel ride in Umstead State Park every Sunday morning.

The ride begins and ends at Bell Lap Cycleworks on Creedmoor Rd.

It’s a casual ride with a few spicy sections, so be sure to bring a gravel bike or a gravel-ready setup.

This ride is fueled by Pine State Coffee—free coffee for everyone who shows up!

Have you been to Oak City's monthly Cruiser ride a.k.a the slowest ride in town? Well this one's a little faster. Coming in at 2 out of 5 spicy chili peppers, join us for an intermediate level social ride around town. Ride will vary between 10-20 miles, no drop. 

Roll up to the shop around 5pm for a 5:30 sharp roll out. Bring lights

Every Tuesday 🙂

This is a weekly, recurring, no-drop social ride that meets at Crank Arm Brewing. It’s a medium-paced ride with an average speed of 12–14 MPH (the front of the group may move faster than the back), covering an average distance of 10 miles with 500 ft of elevation gain. It’s suitable for all skill levels and bike types

• Ride meets at 6:30PM and leaves at 7PM.
• The ride is accompanied by a lead, sweeper, and mid-group support to ensure the safety of participants.

• Ride will stop and re-group periodically to ensure no one is left behind. 

• Ride happens regardless of temperature or daylight, but is cancelled if it rains or snows during the ride.

• Ride traverses roads and greenways.

Go to the Facebook group to see the route for that day and any updates regarding cancellation due to inclement weather.

Want to join the best, and possibly strangest sport played on two wheels? Come join Raleigh Bike Polo! Loaner bikes and polo mallets are always available, and there is no experience required. We play every Thursday at about 6pm - 8pm (or when folks get tired) and Sundays at about 2pm - 5pm. Rain will always cancel! 

But for updates, please join our facebook group- Raleigh Bike Polo. We post updates about pickup games and other things the club has going on. It's also a great place to ask questions, or let us know you're coming out.

The Raleigh Community Kickstand is an all-volunteer, non-profit community bicycle cooperative project located in Raleigh, NC and established in 2017. We are currently partnering with homeless resource centers in the Raleigh area to repair bicycles and teach maintenance skills. We work with the city, local cycling shops, cycling non-profits, and other organizations and individuals to collect resources and skills to address a need in our community for safe, reliable, self-sufficient transportation. Our motto is simple: fix, teach, give.
