The Crozet Cycling Club

04/07/2026

I have clients considering moving to the Charlottesville area; they mountain bike.

Besides introducing the to Charlottesville Area Mountain Bike Club (CAMBC), what would you tell them about mountain biking in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area? Best ways to get connected to the mountain biking community?

Two kids ride and want to race. One parent rides.

What would you tell them?

It's finally warming up in Crozet (mostly). Interested in riding with us? Text Jim - 434-242-7140 - or email [email protected].

We ride most mornings and most weekends.

And we live in an amazing place to ride bicycles outside.

Good story here about riding bicycles in Central Virginia.

They cover a lot, and it's quite good - from Charlottesville Racing Club to Bike Charlottesville to mentions of our great local bike shops, and a lot more; it's comprehensive.

Bike lights. They are so important - for all of us, and particularly for our kids riding bikes.

Here are recommendations from 3 Charlottesville bike shops.

I asked three great Charlottesville bike shops for front and tail light recommendations. It might be easier to shop at Amazon; it’s so much better to shop local. These shops are the ones who …

Good stuff.

" Please Share This When I'm Killed by Someone Driving a Car "

Cyclists: I made this video a few months ago and was waiting for a good time to share it, but there won't be a good time. There've been some deaths in New York City that hit close to home, with the usual poor response from media and police. I love riding a bike and I think everyone should do it but I'm also scared and I'm angry, and I'm injured now and feeling particularly vulnerable about getting back on the road in a few weeks. I don't want to scare you out of riding, but we're all this together and at some point I just have to put this out there.

Motorists: please understand that I hate being in your way far more than you do. It’s your convenience but it’s my life. Support protected bike lanes and infrastructure and we’re all better off. Every cyclists or scooter or pedestrian you see is a taxpaying human being with loved ones just trying to go about their business, and we have to work together and coexist.
