Bikes Direct Discusses Ways to Get the Most Out of Recreational Cycling Clubs

Recreational cycling clubs, reports Bikes Direct, have been forming all over America for generations. Bikes Direct applauds the nation’s local cycling clubs for their part in promoting bicycle riding and bicycle safety. Recreational cycling clubs, explains Bikes Direct, are not based on regional competition or professional riding. Bikes Direct says that instead, a primary purpose of these community based bicycle clubs is to cultivate good relationships between the cyclists and motorists in a given city. By exhibiting a very visual respect for the law, says Bikes Direct, cycling clubs make motorists and non-cycling citizens more likely to take heed of cyclists.

One of the greatest benefits of cycling clubs, notes Bikes Direct, is the organization of periodic group rides. These rides, says Bikes Direct, usually take place monthly and in some cities even weekly. Nearly every recreational cycling club, explains Bikes Direct, welcomes non-members to their riding events. But to really get the most out of a cycling club, Bikes Direct recommends joining the club and taking full advantage of membership. Joining a city cycling club, adds Bikes Direct, usually costs between $30-$50 per year. However, Bikes Direct says that the perks of membership far outweigh the membership fee.

Bikes Direct explains that cycling clubs are dedicated to increasing community awareness of cycling activity. Recreational cycling clubs, continues Bikes Direct, also work to make cycling safe and fun for riders of all experience levels. With year round group rides, explains Bikes Direct, cycling clubs get riders together to exchange information and experiences. Working together, says Bikes Direct, community cyclists can train, learn, and reach riding goals. The support and camaraderie that comes with riding in a cycling club, adds Bikes Direct, also extends to other facets of the community.

If looking for a local cycling club in your city, Bikes Direct suggests starting by contacting larger umbrella organizations that can tell you who is operating in your community. Bikes Direct suggests contacting organizations such as the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) and the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA). These groups, explains Bikes Direct, are affiliated with numerous local biking groups across America. Bikes Direct says they can help riders find clubs and groups of other like-minded riders, to enrich the cycling experience for everyone.

What people are saying about Bikes Direct:

Thank you so much!

I absolutely love my new [Bikes Direct] bike! I got to take it for a couple rides so far and it is so smooth. It has been the envy around the office lately as well. Many people told me that I got an awesome bike [from Bikes Direct] for a really great deal. Thank you again for helping me out. I really appreciate it!

Best Regards,

About the Author

BikesDirect continues to provide the same excellent cycling experience that riders around the world have come to expect from Motobecane. As a beginning, BikesDirect can offer this brief history; Motobecane has been making bikes since 1923 and was named after the French word Moto for motorcycle and Becane for bike. Things went well for the company until 1981 when they were bankrupt and bought by Yamaha and became MBK. Now Motobecane USA is not related to the French company as they import bikes from Taiwan and China, these are the bikes you are interested in. BikesDirect offers these BikesDirect to the public at competitive price points and excellent quality.

 

According to BikesDirect, Motobécane was a major manufacturer in the French bicycle industry. The frames on Motobécane’s mid-to-upper bikes were typically double-butted lugged steel made from Vitus or Reynolds 531 molybdenum/manganese steel tubing with Nervex lugs. Motobécane finished their frames in beautiful and high-quality paint, a practice not often followed in the French industry. Considered the second most prestigious French bicycle (after Peugeot, whose more durable design they emulated, but ahead of Gitane), BikesDirect remembers Motobécane’s mid-range bikes as a good value; the company kept prices reasonable by matching high-quality frames with lower-priced, but higher-quality components from Japan, at a time when competitors were putting higher-priced, lower quality French components on mid-range bikes. BikesDirect says that Motobécane bicycles included the Nomade, Mirage, Super Mirage, Super Touring, Grand Touring, Sprint, Jubilee, Grand Record, Le Champion, and Team Champion.
