Get off the roads and on the trails with CycleNuts!
In a nutshell - CycleNuts is an alternative cycle touring experience where seeing and socializing take emphasis over speed and (ugh!) sweat. Join along on bikeway touring adventures to destinations near and far as we strive for the
- Goal: to create bikeway touring opportunities for cyclists of all types to enjoy
- 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). 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
- Trail-side breaks
- Eating and drinking
- Picture taking and posing
- A comfortable 11MPH pace.
- Looking at cool stuff along the way
- 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.
Where does it happen? - CycleNuts Group Meetup in Cincinnati/Columbus is a regional group dedicated to creating a community of cycling enthusiasts. Meet up in the great outdoors with others who enjoy biking as much as you do for weekly bikeway-focused rides. All are welcome - beginners, experts, locals, visitors, singles, couples, e-bikers, not-e-bikers, helmet-heads, and bareheaded bikers. We bike all around the south/central Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana areas. CycleNuts Group Meetups is 4,000+ members strong with additional Meetup Groups to join in the Cleveland/north Ohio region and the Philadelphia/Delmar Peninsula region. All are free, of course, with no extra hidden fees or steps to join. Volunteer ride organizers are always welcome - get in touch with Fran. LET'S RO//!

### BRIDGE THE BREWERIES
Smart-Guided Bikeway Ride - Cincinnati, Ohio
2 tasty breweries tied together by a bikeway bridge that took decades to construct. All bikeway, 21 miles, 50% downhill guarantee, scenic.
Enjoy a 21-mile bikeway adventure on 12 bikeways and a bikeway bridge that took decades to build - the Beechmont Connector bridge. There are a couple of other bridges over the Lower Scioto River and tunnels along the way. The route is mostly tree-lined and provides a scenic vista stop along the Ohio River.
Your bike's gears will only get a light workout. Even still, as always, this adventure comes with CycleNuts 50% downhill guarantee.
The ride has two tasty stops - Streetside Brewery and 50 West Brewing Company & Burger Bar. Both stops have tasty bites and beverages. Stop one is 7 miles in. Stop 2 is 15 miles in. Stopping in either is optional; in both is advisable. Both stops are listed on Bring Fido as dog-friendly.
The smart-guided route is 100% bikeway (except for a short quarter-mile segment of side streets to connect to stop 1) and comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. You set the pace, starting time, and touring agenda with CycleNuts' expert smart-guided cycle tour pattern.

Take pictures/videos and share. Have fun!
This is a repeating event on the calendar*, but the date and time do not necessarily need to be what is posted. If you are interested in riding with a group, then simply RSVP and leave a message in the comment section giving the date and time you would like others to join you. If you are interested in riding by yourself or with your private group of friends, then simply do it.*
The mission of this format is to create a catalog of free group tour routes available for CycleNuts to ride as a group, or solo, in an area spanning several states. The goal is to get people out cycling either in groups or solo. The vision is a cycling community with resources available for bike tours, bike talk, and a format for lives experienced at the speed of bike.
