Stay Tuned - Group Tours Under Construction
---> on hold due to bicycle insurance industry e-bike kerfuffle <---
It would be great to be hosting group tours again.
That comes with a responsibility to insure all cyclists
riding whatever type of bike they choose to ride.
CycleNuts motto: WTV it is... ride it!
The insurance industry has seen fit to exclude coverage and/or
charge outlandish premiums attached to helmet mandates to the
fastest growing segment of e-bikes - type 2 twist-throttle.
At some point, market demand will be profitable for
the insurance industry to get with it.
Until then, all bike tour and group ride organizers are left to either
exclude type 2 ebikes, charge a participation premium, or
simply operate in ignorance to both theirs, their ride leaders', and
ride participants' liability exposure.

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

- 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.
Recommended Gear - A bike (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 (before you load that bike for transport to the starting spot) brakes, tire pressure, lights, battery condition, and rideability. Consider what you are wearing on tour and what you may need for changing weather conditions.
Yes – CycleNuts will offer cycling events in all four seasons – what else could be expected from CycleNuts?
