Coffee Outside rides are a great way to start the morning!

Meet us in front of Oak City Cycling shortly before 7:30 am. Bring your favorite beans and a portable brewing setup for a short bike ride to a different scenic location to enjoy coffee outside.

Oaks and Spokes' Coffee Outside will be every first Friday morning of the month. 

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 🙂

***Bring Lights, It’s Dark-in-the-Park***
***We Start at 6PM Year Round***

During the winter, when the rides tend to be dark, I avoid the more technical trails as a safety precaution. Even with good lights, avoiding joggers, roots, gullies, etc can be difficult. Our route selection is a bit more limited, but safety is our primary goal.

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.
