In a nutshell - CycleNuts is an alternative cycle touring experience where seeing and socializing take emphasis over speed and (ugh!) sweat. Join along on bikeway touring adventures to destinations near and far as we strive for the

  • Goal: to create bikeway touring opportunities for cyclists of all types to enjoy
  • Mission: to encourage casual cyclists and cyclists interested in casual cycling to tour together
  • Vision: a united cycling community that tours together on bikeway adventures for the holistic benefit of all

What to expect - Casual social cycle touring where exercise is optional, everybody finishes together, and nobody is dropped, abandoned, or left to fend for their self (unless they wish to be). Expect an average pace of 11 mph average with CycleNuts’ 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. Pictures, merriment, and other tourist activities heartily encouraged. Allow ample time for the nature of CycleNuts tours including

  • Trail-side breaks
  • Eating and drinking
  • Picture taking and posing
  • A comfortable 11MPH pace.
  • Looking at cool stuff along the way
  • And other sorts of tourist activities – as well as unforeseen detours, breakdowns, and delays of various sorts.

Helmets are not mandatory - CycleNuts tours give preference to bikeways - bicycle trails and protected bicycle lanes. Routes may include dedicated bicycle lanes on streets, bicycle ‘friendly’ streets, and of necessity, regular streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and unpaved trails. Darkness may be experienced on evening or early morning rides. Lights in good working order at all times on CycleNuts tours are a great idea – to be seen and to see!

SAG-free - CycleNuts tours, including travel and over-night accommodations, are self-supported with the slightest of guidance. SAG is not provided. Carpools and caravans are individual choices. Emergency road support – if necessary – may be a creative, collective group effort or you may need to fend for yourself. Be prepared with options.

Where does it happen? - CycleNuts Group Meetup in Cincinnati/Columbus is a regional group dedicated to creating a community of cycling enthusiasts. Meet up in the great outdoors with others who enjoy biking as much as you do for weekly bikeway-focused rides. All are welcome - beginners, experts, locals, visitors, singles, couples, e-bikers, not-e-bikers, helmet-heads, and bareheaded bikers. We bike all around the south/central Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana areas. CycleNuts Group Meetups is 4,000+ members strong with additional Meetup Groups to join in the Cleveland/north Ohio region and the Philadelphia/Delmar Peninsula region. All are free, of course, with no extra hidden fees or steps to join. Volunteer ride organizers are always welcome - get in touch with Fran. LET'S RO//!
