Weekly Saturday Group Ride
🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

Meet at Handy Bikes Retail Showroom
📍3800 Wheeler Ave, Alexandria, VA
🕥 Rollout is at 10:30am,
so arrive around 10:10am to
sign the waver ✍️
fill your water bottle 💧
and maybe use our restroom or purchase some snacks for the ride.

Come ride with locals in the area! This group ride is for average folks who want to go for an average ride. It’s not quite a coffee ride, but it’s definitely not a race! Routes will vary around the area, with an average speed around 14 mph (minimum of ~10 MPH) for around 15-30 miles.

We’ll be on pavement so bikes with smooth tires are encouraged, **helmets are mandatory**. Open to any riders who are willing and able to ride with a group including class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes. No speed demons please! Good group ride etiquette is a requirement.

Please RSVP in advance on our Meetup page,
so that the ride leaders can prepare for the group’s size.

🧣Layers are the key!!🥶🚲
🧊
Is the temperature number scaring you away from getting on your bike to go for a ride in the sun?! 😎🚲
🧊
Figuring out the layers you need to be able to comfortably ride 🚲 in below freezing temperatures 🥶 can take some trial and error!!

If you could use some recommendations for winter riding,
stop by the shop to chat with us.
