While winter is Jim's favorite season, the end of May, June, and July are my favorite month to ride! Many of you know Jim leads a 7AM M-F group ride from the parking lot of the HUB and as sunrise is now before 7AM more of the group has been showing on a regular basis. Over the years he has noticed the early risers, associated with UGA, have more time during these months. Additionally, the afternoon heat has a lot of others looking for the cooler morning temperatures. Whatever your reason, we enjoy the social time that can be had while riding and treat ourselves each Friday to a post-ride coffee with our friends.

After four years of being frustrated with a lack of safe cycling and economic opportunities in her home town, Mary Charles Howard decided to take matters into her own hands. April 15 at 6:15pm at the Hub Bikes‍

So it’s winter. The time of year where many people find themselves preferring to cuddle up on the couch under a blanket much more than making the effort to bundle up to bear the frigid temps and gusty winds.

Hello Everyone!The leaves are falling and so are the temps! This is my favorite time of the year to get on my bike. My 4 year old son loves to go on Greenway adventures with me pulling him in his trailer. Riding with friends, family, or an after work solo Pink Church Loop on the road bike makes me so happy.

This ride will be moving at a faster pace than our more social rides, but a slower pace than many of the established group rides for riders who are ready to ride around 14mph. There will not be as much stopping and regrouping as our other rides, so you need to feel confident on your bike and able to ride at a moderate pace.

A far cry from the secluded team buses of the European peloton, American crit racing is grassroots, hard and fast street racing amongst a feverish crowd. It pits the world’s fastest professional racers against amateurs skipping out on their 9-to-5’s in chance of an upset. It’s all about the atmosphere, the electrifying vibe – and no team epitomizes the scene better than Team Flicker Racing.

Team Flicker takes on speed week in Athens, Georgia as they put their skills to the the test in our latest Rider Stories episode.

It’s officially summer! Georgia summers are HOT, but this doesn’t have to put a damperon your two-wheel adventures this time of year.
