What we’re about
We’re the St. Louis Urbanists, a grassroots advocacy group working to create safer and more effective infrastructure for pedestrians, bicycle users, transit riders, and even car drivers in the St. Louis region. Our movement aims to promote better urban design through education, organization, and engagement at every level.
We hope to create a community for like-minded individuals to hang out and discuss transportation, urban design, local politics, and other similar topics. You can join us at our online Discord server, where we share tactical wins, post resources, and discuss local issues.
Our main in-person meetups are on the 2nd Thursday of every month. These meetings are open to all. The first half of these meetings is formal discussion of our organization and project updates, and the second half is social.
In addition, we have a number of recurring meetups, such as Social Bike Rides, Urbanist Book Club, and Bus Bike Brunch. We're always coming up with new meetup ideas, and let us know if you have an idea of your own!

Social Bike Ride - River Des Peres Greenway and Federer's Folly
Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44, 7201 Lansdowne Ave, St. Louis, MO, USOur social rides are casual, no-drop, and open to riders of all abilities. Afterwards, we'll have an optional social hour at BusBikeBrunch, this month at Speakeasy Cafe. Feel free to stick around for brunch, or skip the ride and meet us directly at brunch!
On this social bike ride, we will be meeting at the Shrewsburry-I44 Metrolink station and riding the River Des Peres Greenway to Carondelet Park. After arriving, we will make our way to the new mountain bike trail, Federer's Folly, and take it for some easy laps, as many of us try mountain biking for the first time. You do not need a mountain bike to participate in this ride! Most of the ride will be along greenways and city streets. The laps around the mountain bike trail at the end are optional. All kinds of bikes, and riders of all skill levels are welcome.
We typically wait until about 10:35 AM to depart. If you are running late, check the comments of this Meetup page, or our Discord server for live tracking of our location via Google Maps. Also, feel free to meet us directly at Federer's Folly, where we are estimated to arrive around 11 AM.
