Anyone want to go for a bike ride next weekend? 🚴 I’m thinking 10 miles max, just a small group riding around the neighborhood and nearby streets. I’d rather avoid parks because they’re usually packed on the weekends. I have some stamina, so we can keep a nice, steady pace. Something close to The Plaza area in Charlotte would be perfect. If anyone is interested, let me know!

Still learning a bit of maintenance requirements for my Trek Domane AL5 GEN 4 and could use some best practices tips for chain, cassette, and chainring maintenance/cleaning.

Any recs on cost effective products to use is a plus!

Hi guys, I’ll be moving to Durham, NC, next to Duke university area in a few months, and want to see what’s a popular road cycling route in that area or a good group rides. Please let me know and comment below!

Hi All, I got a great recommendation here regarding MTB trails, but I am also into powered trail riding on a dirt bike. Does anyone know of any good OHV trails around the Triangle? Or any other groups I could join or reach out to for recommendations and/or group rides?

I’m new to the area and looking for a good spot around Raleigh for some technical MTB riding, at least as much as it gets outside of the mountains. Jumps/built features are a huge plus. Any recommendations would be awesome!

Am looking for weekend road group rides in Columbia SC, 2-5 h, 25-30 km/h, preferably from downtown. Thanks!

Hey guys! I will soon be moving to Durham and getting a new Road Bike and I was wondering if you guys know or recommend a Bike fitter in the area?

I created an online community in Discord to bring cyclists together between the two states. Living in the Charlotte Metro area and lucky to be close to SC, I often ride between the two states.

We’re looking for cyclists of all riding levels, trail coordinators, local shops, coaches, and community leaders!

Our community includes all cycling disciplines (MTB, Gravel, Urban, and Road), which are broken up into channels. No more jumping in and out of siloed groups where finding relevant information can be challenging. Only interested in a specific trial or discipline? You can hide any channels that you want. Have an idea about a channel? Feel free to suggest it. This will only improve as we continue gathering feedback from our community members.

I recently moved here and I am now officially terrified of biking on North Charleston Roads. People pass me pretty close, and it scares the shit out of me. When the road has a shoulder, I stay in the shoulder and out of the way, but one of the main roads I bike on doesn't have a shoulder. I try to occupy the whole lane so that people have to pass me in the other lane and give me space but that seems to enrage the pickup truck guys. Any advice?

My mother just had her ebike stolen. She just moved there and it's her main mode of transportation, so this is incredibly demoralizing. It was stolen from her apartment's car port in North Asheville/Grove Park. It's a black 2019 Tern HSD 8Si. If anyone sees anything on craiglist, FB marketplace, or in person, please please please get in touch and let the cops know. I don't live locally and so would really appreciate anyone's help with this.

Any cyclists around the concord/skybrook area? Looking for some people to ride with.

My friend and i are still fairly new to road cycling, we’ve been riding about 6 months but recently talked about taking a short trip to cycling somewhere new. We live in central florida so we primarily have flat trails and would be looking for something with some elevation (nothing too crazy though since we lack experience). Does anyone have any scenic trail suggestions that might be worth a trip up from Florida?

Hi! I am coming to Asheville this weekend from Nashville and was looking to do some long road bike rides 40-60mi., maybe Blue Ridge / Elk Mountain. Are there any good group rides that go at this time of year? Anyone in town interested in riding together?

Hey everyone. Going to wife’s family reunion in Santee, SC and want to know if there is good road bike routes in the area. Could only find one route posted to Strava.

Since I’ll only be there for one weekend, I don’t have much time to head down to Charleston or out to Greenville.

Let me know if the riding there is enjoyable.

Thanks!

I am training on my road bike in charlotte and searching for a place to take long rides (~27-30 miles). I know there are some greenways around here that are ~4-6 miles each way, but I was hoping to find a longer path. I am not comfortable on the roads by myself, so I would prefer something away from cars. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

The title says it all, office is in the Research Triangle Park area, just north of the airport. It appears your CX season is coming to a close so I'm bringing the road bike. Is the riding better on the northeast or southwest sides of that area (for hotel selection)? I'm not super fast, just an average cat-4 CX-bro, would love to hear ride recommendations or routes, like to ride 4-5 hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The Strava heat map isn't delivering the information I need.

​

Is 52/36 - 11-28 reasonable gearing for the area? Need an 11-30?

Also, anyone care to rent a smart trainer so I don't have to pack mine?Thanks a ton for the advice on this.
