Pedals Without Prayers (& Swimming) - Brighton
Details
IMPORTANT: After THIS ride, we'll go swimming in the natural spring-fed pond. Michigan Atheists tent will be up. Bring your own snacks, juice, smoothie, or whatever you need to refuel. There is an entry fee for state parks, which you might already have with your last auto-registration renewal. The pass is good for one year and can be used state-wide.
Pedals Without Prayer is a welcoming cycling group for atheists, agnostics, humanists, skeptics, and anyone who enjoys good company on two wheels. Our mission is simple: ride, eat, have fun & be healthy. We believe staying active is good for both the body and the mind, and that some of the best conversations happen while cruising down the trail or sharing a meal afterward.
Whether you're an experienced cyclist chasing miles or someone who just enjoys a casual ride, you'll find a friendly, judgment-free community here. Our rides emphasize safety, encouragement, and enjoying the journey—not racing to the finish line.
No sermons. No pressure. Just good people, good food, and great rides.
