Events!
Friends, Anglophiles, Countrypersons! Join us for our first annual Twin Cities Tweed Ride—a joint effort with the MN Historical Society. Wear your tweed and ride your English three speed if you can, but join us for sure—wearing and riding whatever you like. All are welcome. This is a casual social ride starting at the James J.Hill House in St.Paul. Join us on the lawn for coffee and lawn games before we ride along the River to Mill City Museum and Fair Oaks Park for an ice cream social. This will happen every year and will be an annual rite of autumn for area cyclists. Gather your crew and join us! FREE to all. Registration is required. See you there!

AntiSocial Scavenger hunt 2022
Remember April 2022? The weather was awful and 30 Days of Biking was not much fun. Wanna try again this June? Let’s do it! Join us for the 3rd Annual AntiSocial Scavenger Hunt #ASSH22 - take two.
We LOVE 30 Days of Biking. The idea behind #30daysofbiking is to ride your bike every day in the month of April. In 2020 we started the AntiSocial Scavenger Hunt in partnership with Recovery Cycles in NE Mpls - for something to socially distanced to do during the pandemic. Folks loved it - we were even featured on WCCO News! So we've continued the hunt and now you can play ANYWHERE, ANYTIME!
Visit and post 10 spots and you earn a patch! This year we’re doing things a little differently. Every Friday this month we are posting a list of 7 spots. Visit 10 spots in one moth (post them on social media or not) and you earn a patch. This is all on your honor, for your enjoyment! Click below for a printable list of #ASSH22 spots.
