Bicycling can be intimidating. Whether on trails or in the city, try group biking. It has advantages: it may be safer than riding solo, it’s an opportunity to network, and see the sights around Western New York. Whether you’re an expert trail rider or a city rider champion, check out some of the upcoming events and take the opportunity to try something new!
First, Western New York is full of off-road trails and group rides. The Western New York Mountain Biking Association (WNYMBA) and WNYBikes continue to host dozens of events.
Or if you’re looking to give back to the community, join a trail day. Trail days are organized to care for the trails we all use and love. Tools and lunch are usually provided. Wear boots and bring gloves. You’ll spend a few hours clearing brush, making trail repairs, and learning the trail systems of WNY with your family - all while supporting local bicycle organizations.
If you’re looking for new places to ride, join a group ride! There are many trail rides, city rides, and slow rolls to choose from. You might consider joining the Buffalo Bicycle Club, or riding for a cause. Ride for Roswell and Ride to End Alzheimer’s are two local charitable rides that happen annually in Buffalo. See below for some upcoming spring events.
