Summary
Chill Rides is making space for folks who have been marginalized by the cycling community as a whole and who have been affected by the patriarchy.
We're a community of Non-Binary, Women, and Queer Folks.
We welcome cyclists of all skill levels and all bikes are welcome.
We ride at "Party Pace" which means we're riding at a slower pace, making lots of pit stops and getting to know one another on the way.
We have a "No Drop Policy" which means nobody gets left behind. We have volunteers at the front, middle, and rear of the group.
Chill Rides is for folks who want to get out and ride, make new friends, challenge themselves and most importantly HAVE FUN.
Dates and locations vary; check our website or social media for up-to-date information!
