Queer Wheels Social Ride

More info & tickets

Join Queer Wheels Cycle Club for a social ride!

This ride is a chance to meet the members and new LGBTQIA+ cyclists, gain confidence and have fun being yourself on the bike.

This is a 'sporty' ride for people who want to get into cycling or already ride as a hobby/sport. The ride is approximately 35-40km, led by a Queer Wheels Ride Leader. The pace is decided on the day, and all levels are welcome, including beginners to group riding.

WHAT TO BRING:

Helmet (Required)
Bike in good working order with a recent service/check up (please see what bikes are allowed below)
Clipped pedals preferred, flat pedals welcome
Wear clothing suitable for cycling - we do suggest Lycra (check weather conditions)
Small tool kit (incl. inner tube, multitool, small pump etc)
Snacks (bars or similar)
Sun cream
Water (in a sports water bottle)
Good vibes!

WHAT BIKE CAN I RIDE?:

Please note, this ride is for racefiets only. This includes road/gravel/cyclocross bikes. Due to group safety we do not allow fixed gear, single speed, tandem, recumbents or tricycles. No city bikes permitted. We have these rules for group and personal safety.

NEW TO CYCLING AS A SPORT?

We respect everyone's cycling journey. We ask that you take ownership of your own abilities and skills. You must have some basic riding experience before joining for your own safety and the safety of the group. No group riding experience (more than 2 people) is needed.

Please note that we are a 'sporty' group. We want to encourage people to ride more, gain confidence, and go a bit faster than a regular Touring group.

RIDE SCHEDULE

We ride from May - September and have 1-2 rides per month. We don't ride in all weather - if the weather is wet, windy or in poor conditions we usually cancel the ride.

Please send any questions via DM to @queer_wheels or ask via Eventbrite!
