Switch Up Your Route

Whether you’re commuting or exploring a new neighborhood, switch up the scenery and try a few new bike lanes. You never know what you may find, maybe you’ll ride past a park you didn’t know was there or discover a new restaurant.

Take a Group Ride

Sometimes all you need to get going is a push in the right direction. There are plenty of local organizations hosting group rides that can help you gain the confidence to explore a new area of town or tackle your first long distance ride. Women & Bicycles hosts a weekly meetup and posts group rides from their facebook page, and WABA offers a variety of year-round events and classes.
