Each May, we celebrate the benefits of cycling during Bike Month. Learn more about biking and the celebratory activities associated with this awareness month here.
All rides include at least three different route lengths (typically around five, 10, and 20 miles). All skill levels are welcome, although most routes include roads with light to moderate traffic. Some of the five-mile routes stick to the People Trail. The group meets on Tuesday evenings at various locations in the Columbus area that rotate from ride to ride. After each ride, the group typically will eat at a nearby restaurant. Rides depart promptly at 6 p.m. Helmets are mandatory.
