GROUP RIDE STARTER PACK

Research suggests vulnerability creates connection.
Cyclists discovered this independently.

Mile 3:
"Hi, I'm Dave."

Mile 27:
"So that's when they found the polyp."

Go meet Dave and his friend Carl.
They are probably faster than you, but - will be automatic friends.

Do you know KC has A LOT of group rides going on all the time?

Drop your favorite route and visit

GROUP RIDE STARTER PACK

Scientists say making friends requires repeated social exposure.
Cyclists have simplified this process.
Just accidentally ride next to Purple Trek Sarah for six consecutive Saturdays.

Go find a group ride.
Just ride you damn bike today.
Follow for more cycling fun.

Hermit crabs frequently form vacancy chains where one crab upgrades, leaving a shell behind that another crab adopts.

Hermit Crabs are Essentially a Family Owned Bike Shop:
Rider A buys carbon wheels.
Rider B buys Rider A’s wheels.
Rider C buys Rider B’s wheels.
Rider D finds Rider C’s wheelset on Facebook Marketplace.
Rider E posts:
"Is this a good deal?"
The ecosystem remains balanced.

Nature is healing.

Go support and visit your LBS.
That sh*t matters.

Public Service Announcement:

You are allowed to attend group rides.

Even if you're not fast.
Even if your bike isn't fancy.
Even if you haven't ridden in a while.
Even if you feel awkward.

Everyone is awkward.

That's why we wear sunglasses.

Go ride your damn bike.

The dishes will still be there when you get home.

We used to play outside for nine hours with playing cards clipped to our frame (wanted nice hubs even then), one orange slice and hose water from the neighbors house with the nice dog.

The goal wasn't fitness.
The goal wasn't performance.
The goal was adventure.

You're still allowed to do that.
Even with the mortgage.
Even with the job.
Even with the responsibilities.

Go ride your damn bike.

The dishes will still be there when you get home.

Where is your rig taking you this weekend?
You need some buddies to ride with?

You know what healed people?
Riding bikes to nowhere with absolutely no purpose.

As children we played games called:
Red Rover,
Dodgeball,
and Crack the Whip.

OSHA would shut that sh*t down in six minutes.

Go ride your bike tonight.

Tell me - what is the funniest thing you have done on the bike?
