Our Coffee Outside rides take place every first Friday morning of the month. Meet just before 7:30 AM at Oak City Cycling. We’ll take a short, easy ride to a different scenic location to sit and brew coffee outdoors. Be sure to bring your own beans and coffee-making gear!

Ride Vibe: Chill and social.

If you or someone you know relies on a bike for transportation and can’t afford mechanic services, stop by the Peach Rd. Community Center on Saturday.

Oaks and Spokes and Community Kickstand with support of Oak City Cycling will be set up at the Peach Rd. Community Center providing free bike repairs, safety checks, and tune ups this Saturday, November 2nd from 2:00 – 4:00 PM.

First come, first served.

We are prioritizing individuals who rely on their bike for transportation.

Over the past year and a half, we’ve built a partnership with Arise Collective, a reentry program that assists women recently incarcerated. Through this partnership, we’ve identified a strong need for reliable and independent transportation, as well as opportunities for the women to explore, decompress, and exercise. To support this, we’re repairing 20 used bicycles to donate to Arise Collective. These bikes will provide the women in their program with a means of transportation or simply a way to ride and explore.

We’re looking for volunteer bike mechanics to help us repair the bikes. If you have your own stand or tools, great! If not, we’ll be using Oak City Cycling’s space and tools.

Our second official biking and walking audit will take place all afternoon at the intersection of MLK and Garner Rd on November 13th. We have volunteer shifts available throughout the afternoon. Our goal is to assess safety improvements needed for the intersection as well as the span of Garner Rd to the Greenway. This is a great way to get involved with our broader advocacy efforts to improve safety for all road users. Sign up below!

Ride Vibe: Educational and instructive.

As every year, WDoR 2024 is an opportunity to reflect and honor those who we have lost to traffic violence. Spend this day reflecting by

-remembering all people killed and seriously injured on the roads;

-acknowledge the crucial work of the emergency services;

-draw attention to the generally trivial legal response to culpable road deaths and injuries and advocate for an appropriately serious response;

-advocate for better support for road traffic victims and victim families;

-promote evidence-based actions to prevent and eventually stop further road traffic deaths and injuries

Cranksgiving is a fun choose-your-own-adventure event all about riding a bike and giving back to our communities in need during the holiday season. This year’s beneficiary is Healing Transitions.

We’ll provide you with a list of essential food items to purchase, offer some challenges for bonus points, and give you a map of nearby grocery stores. However, how you choose to participate is entirely up to you! Whether you ride to just one store or visit them all, join as a team or go solo, we’re happy to see you on your bike doing some good!

We will be giving out points for weight, distance, and key items. So grab your cargo bike, panniers, back pack, and any and everything you can mount to your bike to carry a load.

Raleigh’s biggest group ride happens on the last Friday of every month. Critical Mass takes place all over the world as a statement that all wheels, not just cars, have a right to the road. Raleigh Critical Mass welcomes bikes, scooters, Onewheels, skateboards, roller skates, rollerblades, e-bikes, and more! Join us as we become TRAFFIC.

Ride Vibe: Social and fun.
