CycleNuts 
an alternative cycling experience

CycleNuts is an alternative cycle touring experience where seeing and socializing take emphasis over speed and (ugh!) sweat. Join along on bike-way touring adventures to destinations near and far. Expect a slow pace under 11 mph average with CycleNuts 50% downhill guarantee. Pictures, merriment, and other tourist activities heartily encouraged.

CycleNuts in a nutshell
• Goal: to create bikeway touring opportunities for cyclists of all types to enjoy together 
• 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). Allow plenty of time from your schedule for the nature of these tours: pacing with the slowest rider, picture taking, looking at cool stuff along the way, eating and trail-side breaks.

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.

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. State in comments if interested in forming a carpool, caravan, or sharing overnight or travel accommodations.

Recommended Gear - A cycle (uni, bi, tri, tandem, E, recumbent, or cycle/trailer rig). Protective gear of your choice. ID. Front and rear lighting. Communication device. Spare tube. Patch kit. Air pump. Wrench kit. Cycle lock. Water. Energy bar. Funds for refreshment breaks and emergencies. Sun screen. Pest repellent.

Recommended Preparation – Pre-check brakes, tire pressure, lights and ridability. Consider what you are wearing on tour and what you may need for changing weather conditions.

​How to join and RSVP for tours

  1. Several different formats are used to promote CycleNuts tours and events. Getting all of them to work together is akin to herding cats.
  2. The bottom line: Meetup (a service used to organize online groups that host in-person events) is CycleNuts' primary organizational format to where all of the other promotional formats (Facebook, Twitter, Eventbrite, Craigslist, Tumblr, YouTube, Instagram, Flickr and www.CycleNuts.link) lead to. 
  3. Meetup is where you will be registered as a CycleNuts member, pay annual dues, RSVP and receive tour details, such as starting spot and refreshment stop locations.
  4. Register here to join CycleNuts!
