By joining BTCEB you'll be supporti …

The Berkeley Bicycling Meetup Group is for anyone who wants to meet new people and explore the  Bay Area. We have done mostly road rides but I plan to post a few mountain bike rides in the near future.  The rides are a lot of fun and are a great place to learn new routes. Despite the vast number of "members" (444, last time I checked), our group is small. There are 10-15 people who regularly attend our rides, with a handful on any given ride. This group doesn't drop slower riders! Unless I spe …

This is a group for anyone who likes hacking on bicycle projects. I like assembling and riding project bikes, as well as building custom cargo and touring racks, decaleurs, LED lights, and various other fabrication and modification projects. OA torches and Unimats turn me on. I know a few people who sew their own bike bags and panniers, and others who dabble in frame-building. I'm interested in fostering some community around these activities to trade ideas, collaborate on projects, and learn ne …

We are a loosely organized volunteer group planning a series of accessible, non-competitive rides though urban San Francisco to give people a taste of every-day biking in the city.

The intention of this group is to primarily establish community with other women who understand the experience of trauma and its daily effects. In addition, this group will rely on cycling as a form of managing and working through the emotional and physical challenges brought on by trauma. This group won't be offering any formal form of therapy, but will help us to become more resilient and stronger. The goal is to propel us forward.

Hey, lazy drunk. Wouldn't it be cool if instead of trying and failing to talk your stoner friends into going and playing outside with you for the billionth time, you could just holler at a bunch of fellow drunks instead? Drunks are always down. Act like you know. ****** IMPORTANT TO NOTE ******* Have to point out the obvious, that drunk biking on public roads is illegal and dangerous in a most magnified, other-people-than-you kind of dark and awful way. This group is only open to folks Lwho don …

This is a group for all types of cyclists to connect with other riders so nobody has to ride alone (unless you want to).

Besides the standard group type rides, we support rides that fall outside the normal offerings with an emphasis on exploration and variety. Do you like to mix road and dirt into the same ride? Have …

We want this to be a fun group where everyone could talk and hang out for brunch after the bike ride. We will come up with …

I'm starting this group for SF-based riders who want to share rides to various trails (e.g. Tamarancho, China Camp, Annadel, Skeggs, Wilder Ranch, Henry Coe, etc.), mostly for weekend rides, but I would also like to do some group after-work weekday evening or night rides in the area. There are already several Bay Area mountain biking meetup groups (and I belong to most of them) but I thought it would be good idea to have a resource for SF-based riders to use to organize rides starting form SF or …
