Fall Tours and Happenings

Welcome to fall bike riding!

Fall leaves

Fall in Florida ushers in the best riding of the year! As cooler temperatures creep in, the riding becomes a breeze. Fall is when our tour season begins, and it’s why we love Florida bicycling: cool temps AND sunshine. What could be better?! Join us for some fun upcoming bike tours and the annual Florida Bicycle Summit.

We are a 501c3, non-profit organization dedicated to bicycling for recreation, fitness, exercise, sport and transportation. The club takes an active role in the Sarasota-Manatee area to further the interests and safety of all bicyclists and to the improvement of bike infrastructure.

Whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned rider we’ve got a group and a ride for you. Our rides are open to members and non-members alike. Check our rides and events calendar for a listing of current and future rides.
