Shownotes

We’re celebrating the 50th episode of Pedal the Springs with a LIVE audience and one of the things we love most about cycling — COMMUNITY!

Video of this Episode

We kicked things off with a multi-club ride from Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort, then brought five local bike club leaders together to talk about how to find the group that’s right for you.

Whether you’re looking for road, mountain or gravel rides, new friends, local trail knowledge, gear tips or riders who will inspire you to level up, there’s a bike community waiting for you in Colorado Springs. And e-bike riders — don’t miss the end! We ask our clubs whether their rides are e-bike friendly.
