In 2024, Bike Week will run May 11-18. Plus, May is National Bike Month, and includes Bike to Work Week and Bike to Work Day! Organizing Bike Week ramps up in January.

Bike Week underscoreS the role bicycling plays in building economically strong AND Physically & MENTALLY HEALTHY communities. Its value IS greater than any one event.

Kalamazoo Bicycle Club’s Wednesday Night Ride

  • Kal-Haven Trailhead parking lot on 10th St 4143 10th Street North Kalamazoo, MI, 49009 United States (map)

There are several ride groups at paces from 16-18 mph to 22+ mph. These are faster rides on hilly roads northwest of Kalamazoo. The end time is approximate. More experience on the part of the riders is recommended/assumed. Knowing you can ride at these paces is a personally rewarding and exhilarating athletic experience.

Sponsor: Kalamazoo Bicycle Club

Event website: kalamazoobicycleclub.org/rides/

Cost/Fees: No charge to join KBC rides. KBC membership includes newsletter, Ride with GPS, KBC club insurance and many other benefits.

Comments: Prospective members and new riders are welcome! Please visit to our website to familiarize yourself with rider expectations. Please let your ride leader know if this is your first time riding in a group, and plan to arrive early. Due to the pace and hills, this ride is more challenging than KBC’s Monday Night Ride. If you are not experienced riding in a group in these conditions, we suggest work your way up to it on our Monday Night Rides and/or try riding for this pace and distance on hills before deciding which night is best for you.

For more information, please contact: Paul Wells at educationchair@kalamazoobicycleclub.org
