Evening Social Bike Rides

Wednesdays after work in Geneva!

Looking for a fun, social and healthy evening activity after work this summer?
Thinking of taking on the 190km ride around Lake Geneva and keen to get in some fun preparatory rides?
How about joining us for some sociable Evening Bike Rides?

These 'After-work bike rides' are all about exploring the wonderful Geneva countryside,
meeting people with similar interests and having some 'chill-out' and fun times!

We cycle at a happy pace that allows you to chat with your fellow cyclists.
We ride for about 2 hours, including breaks, covering roughly 25 to 30 km.
And after the ride we head off to a local bar for a post-ride drink.
Included in the price is your first glass of wine, beer or soft drink.
Reasonably-priced food is also available (at your own cost) for those wishing to eat after the ride.


Note: Each evening ride is limited to 8 cyclists.
Pre-booking is essential.

When?
Wednesday evenings starting at 18:30, from June 2nd until September 8th

Where?
We meet at our bike store in the Paquis area of Geneva, between the train station and the United Nations area.
We ride for an enjoyable 2 hours, roughly 25km to 30km, in the wider Geneva area, off the main roads as far as possible.
We finish off with a friendly drink in a nearby bar.

We provide:
bikes, helmets, the route, a guide, and snacks and drinks during the ride.

What you need
All you need to bring is yourself and some comfortable clothing!
We recommend you carry an extra layer of clothing and a waterproof in case of rain.
You can leave a bag in our storage room to collect again at the end.
The bikes come fitted with a small bag so you can carry the essentials,
such as an extra layer, camera, sun cream, wallet, phone, waterproof etc.

What if it rains?
Cycling in pouring rain is not much fun....
