Atlanta Recumbent Cyclists

ARC Regular Monthly Ride

Our monthly ride is the first Saturday of the month at 10:00 during the winter months, and we move it to 9:00 starting in May. The ride will be the Coweta County ride leaving from Moreland, GA. We will meet in front of the Lewis Grizzard Museum. The fire station always has maps available for 12, 25, 38 and 66 mile options. These are perfect roads for recumbents. The roads and scenery are the best we've found anywhere! Very few cars and plenty of store stops available.

 

We will be announcing a place to eat afterwards.

The Metro Area Recumbent Society (MARS) is a recumbent bicycle and HPV enthusiast group based in the New York Metro area. We have about 60 members (give or take), with most in New Jersey. The remainder are located in New York, Connecticut and in Pennsylvania. If you're in the vicinity, chances are there's a MARS member not far from you.

 

All are welcome to join the club. We have membership dues of a measly $10 per year, which go primarily for insurance coverage. Most of what the club provides comes from volunteerism and charity (special thanks to Mark Matarella at recumbents.com for hosting this site!!). The club is very casual. There are no bylaws or formal meetings per se.

 

The best way to get to know us is to subscribe to the mailing list. It's very active, and is the true heart of the club. See the Mailing List page for more details

Rochester Area Recumbent Enthusiasts (RARE)

 of Rochester, New York

USA

Our unwritten charter is to promote and advocate recumbent

cycling by gathering together for informal group rides, and offering

interested cyclists an opportunity to meet and talk with us about

"'bents", see these machines on rides, and possibly try them out on

short test rides.

 

We meet on selected, regularly scheduled rides with the

Rochester Bicycling Club and the "Greats" (Greater Rochester

Eating and Tandeming Society), that typically have easy or

moderate routes to follow and ample parking lots to gather in and

try out bikes. Frequently, the rides also involve food stops during

the ride, or meals during or after the ride, to provide additional

opportunities to mingle and discuss recumbent cycling.

 

Hank Walck is our phone contact at (716)285-4287

SeaWheels-

The Seattle Area Bike Builders' Group

 

We are a group of local cycling enthusiasts who enjoy building our own bikes (mostly recumbent) and modifying other bikes. We've been meeting irregularly since 1992. Our goal is to share our knowledge, experience and enthusiasm for riding, modifying and building with other people in the area. In 2001 after a brief hiatus the group has obtained a mailing list and this website and we hope you'll find the information here useful and interesting.
