We are celebrating Pride every Wednesday in June. Donate to Queer+ Bikes and help create a better ride for all.
Queer+ Bikes is a Northern Colorado-based queer-centered cycling and community group, welcoming queer folks and allies who are committed to upholding safe space. We welcome all bodies, experiences, and genders on bikes! We strive to omit barriers to cycling through our free gear closet, community events, resource sharing, educational opportunities, and monthly group rides. We value creating community just as much as we love riding bikes.
DONATE HERE!!!
Every Wednesday at Full Cycle Bike Shop. Meet @ 5:20pm, rollout at 5:30pm
Route: Spicy, Mild TBD
We are hosting weekday group rides open to everyone! There is️ only one rule...DON’T KILL THE VIBE! If you are looking to be “champion of the group ride” we will ask that you stay home. If you are looking to have fun, be social and sweat, then hop on and hit the dirt.
RDC ride members get happy hour pricing post ride + 10% off your Full Cycle purchase by mentioning RDC at checkout.
All riders should ensure their equipment is in good working order, have a spare tube and bike pump in case of flat, and know how to get back to Full Cycle. “Spicy” group expectations are that you always practice excellent group etiquette by calling things out, are comfortable riding in large groups, know the route, can average 17+mph in the group, and are ok with being dropped. “Mild” group expectations are that riders improve their group etiquette, practice riding safely, are comfortable riding in medium sized groups, and can average 14-16mph.
That Other Gravel Ride - Ride Policy
The TOGR ride doesn’t have too many rules. We look forward to this part in our season, where we all get together and enjoy the beautiful Boulder evenings and post ride hangs. For the most part we ride rain or shine…because we just love to ride. With that being said, weather is a bit unpredictable when we kick things off, and as we approach Summer, so we thought it best to lay some ground rules.
Rules:
Be adaptive…we change routes, we combine groups and we sometimes go a bit longer than expected. We do this for the safety and morale of the group. All of these decisions are expressed at the beginning of the ride so you have the choice to bail if desired.
We will not ride if the weather is under 40 degrees fahrenheit. Once again, this ride is about community and pure enjoyment. This is not meant to be a training ride.
We do not ride if there is lightning. We won’t judge or tell if you decide to carry on your Wednesday night ride, but your ride is considered unofficial and not led by a member of RDC.
We will make all final decisions by 5pm the night of the ride. These updates will be shared on instagram and our website. If you do not see a cancellation, expect there to be an RDC leader at Full Cycle to lead you. If weather changes between 5:00-5:30pm, a RDC member will still show up to make the call onsite.
Please no headphones on group rides. It’s not safe or cool in builiding community.
