Group Bicycling: What to Bring

What to Bring

  • A bike in 100% working order – tires inflated, brakes and drivetrain ready to roll. Social rides can be done on practically any bike; faster rides are best done on a road bike.
  • Your helmet – although infrequent, falls can happen, and a helmet reduces your risk of serious injury.
  • Some form of identification and emergency contact and medical information, e.g. a Road ID, medical alert bracelet, etc.
  • Comfortable clothing for cycling, including bike gloves.
  • Eyewear that protects your eyes from wind, kicked-up debris, and insects.
  • Sunscreen depending on weather.
  • Water or sports drink. Rule of thumb: Plan to drink one bottle per hour of cycling; Refill opportunities will usually be provided for rides over two hours.
  • A high-calorie snack such as an energy bar, especially on longer rides.
  • A credit card, or some cash.
  • A cell phone.
  • A spare tube, tire leversĀ and patch kit.
  • A pump or inflator.
