Community Bike Rides

Explore Jefferson City on two wheels! Community bike rides are perfect for cyclists of all skill levels to enjoy a variety of trails, greenways, and bike-friendly roads in and around Jefferson City. Each ride is led by our two fantastic, certified League Cycling Instructors (LCIs), David Bange and Jim Coleman.

Community bike rides are free and perfect for anyone seeking a laid-back cycling group. Led by our League Cycling Instructors, routes include favorites like the “pizza” and “ice cream” rides, ending with a hot slice or sweet treat. These routes vary month to month and are announced on our corresponding Facebook Events. You can click here for easy access to our upcoming events on Facebook.

These bi-monthly rides are scheduled from March through November and are designed for newer or non-competitive cyclists. Locations and times vary, with schedules and routes posted on Facebook closer-to. Contact Kevin Schwartz at kschwartz@jeffersoncitymo.gov for more info.
