Bike buddies & group rides?

[u/LegitimateUse_666]

Was just told about this sub Reddit from a friend because I’m looking for biking buddies. Other than the most recent post about the SCT, there haven’t been any posts in months. Is this still a good place to find group rides and bike buddies?

What part of Atlanta are you in and what type of riding are you looking for?

I’m on the West End! Very close to the beltline. Unsure of how to answer “what type of ride I’m looking for” — I’m only pretty new & have taken my bike for 6-10 miles at a time, or just little jaunts around my house. So beginner friendly rides are great, and maybe also ones that wouldn’t require me to ride alone back to my house as the sun is going down. (The beltline isnt always lit up, and the streets scare me by myself)

That makes a lot of sense! Have you checked out Critical Mass? The last Friday of every month, a few hundred people get started in woodruff park around 6pm and do 10-15 miles around the city together - super casual pace and fun social event too

Don’t think I’ve heard of it! Adding it to the list. I’d be happy to finish work early for this
