Hello to all my Respected Riders and Cycling Lovers, Cycling is more than just a solo sport — it’s a community. Nothing beats the joy of pedaling alongside like-minded riders, discovering new routes, exchanging bike tips, and stopping for those all-important chai breaks. If you’ve been wanting to find a local cycling group or even start one of your own, this guide is for you.


🚴 Why Join a Cycling Group?

Before we dive into the how, let’s talk about why it’s worth it:

  • Motivation: Group rides push you to ride longer, faster, and regularly.
  • Safety: There’s safety in numbers, especially on roads with traffic.
  • Learning: You’ll pick up tips on riding techniques, bike maintenance, and new routes.
  • Social Fun: It’s a great way to meet people who share your love for bikes.

📌 How to Join a Local Cycling Group

1️⃣ Search Online Communities

  • Facebook Groups: Type your city or area + “cycling group” (e.g., 7XCC, All about Exploring and Noida Cycles).
  • Strava Clubs: Join local clubs on Strava, where many groups post their ride schedules.
  • Local Meetups: A handy platform for finding hobby-based meetups, including cycling.

Pro Tip: Check local bike shops — they often organize weekend rides or can connect you with existing groups.


2️⃣ Visit Local Bike Shops or Cafes

Cycling-friendly cafes and bike shops are the social hubs of the riding community. Drop in, have a chat with the staff or other cyclists, and ask about local group rides.


3️⃣ Attend Cycling Events

Charity rides, MTB challenges, or city cycling festivals are perfect places to meet fellow riders and learn about active groups in your area.


📌 How to Start a Cycling Group From Scratch

Can’t find a group you vibe with? No problem — start your own! Here’s how:

1️⃣ Pick a Purpose

Decide what kind of rides you want:

  • Weekend leisure rides
  • Long-distance endurance rides
  • Off-road MTB adventures
  • Fitness-focused road rides
  • Beginner-friendly social rides

2️⃣ Create a Simple Ride Schedule

Start small:

  • Choose a regular day and time (e.g., Saturday-Sunday 5:30 AM)
  • Decide on a starting point and route
  • Keep distances manageable for beginners (20–30 km to start)

3️⃣ Spread the Word

  • Post on local WhatsApp groups, Facebook, and Instagram
  • Share posters at bike shops and local cafes
  • Create a Strava club or Telegram channel

Bonus: Come up with a fun group name — it makes it feel official!


4️⃣ Plan for Safety and Inclusivity

  • Always follow traffic rules
  • Ensure no one is left behind (nominate a sweep rider)
  • Keep the vibe friendly and encouraging for new riders

5️⃣ Organize Themed Rides & Chai Stops

Make it fun:

  • Sunrise Rides
  • Ride to Hidden Breakfast Spots
  • Festive Theme Rides (like Independence Day Ride in tricolour jerseys)

These little ideas build group bonding and encourage people to keep coming back.


🌟 Final Thoughts

Joining or starting a cycling group is one of the best ways to stay motivated, explore new places, and make lifelong friends. Whether you’re in a bustling city or a sleepy town, there’s always a way to build your cycling tribe.

So — what are you waiting for? Pump those tires, grab your helmet, and find your crew on two wheels!
