What we’re about
Social Cycling Austin brings Austin cyclists together to share our love of riding bikes. Our unique events promote socializing between all types of cyclists no matter what your skill level, what kind of bike you ride, or what terrain you like to tear up. Join us!

See all- Tuesday Southern Walnut Creek Trail RideGovalle Neighborhood Park, Austin, TX
Bring your bike, water bottle, charged bike lights, and a friend to the Southern Walnut Creek Trail Ride (SWCT) now back on TUESDAY nights! This is a ~ 20-mile paved trail ride with a pace of about 10-12 mph and up. We meet at the Govalle Park parking lot and wheels down is 7:15pm. End spot socializing at an east side bar.
Social Cycling Austin rides AS traffic and NOT AGAINST it. We stop at red lights, yield the right of way and let cars pass as best we can. We don't block intersections. We are nice to both our fellow riders and the other traffic on the road. LISTEN TO the volunteers helping to lead the ride. They are some nice folks and have your best interest in mind.
If you have any questions about the rules, please check here: http://bicycleaustin.info/laws/austin.htmlREMINDER: The goal has always been to create a safe environment for all riders, but we cannot control, nor do we desire to, every rider's behavior. We promote personal responsibility, and it is each rider's responsibility to take care of themselves, and if they choose to ride with us, then they accept those risks inherent in riding a bicycle with a large group of other people riding bicycles.
- Thursday Night Social RideThursday Night Social Ride, Austin, TX
The Thursday Night Social Ride (#ThursdayNightSocialRide) is a very casual cruise around town with anywhere from 150-250 cyclists attending every week! The pace is social (easy). Typically, we ride to various locations where we socialize, swim (depending on season), play games or just hang out. We then ride some more before arriving at one of our many generous host bars that supply our riders with hospitality and good times. We meet at the same spot every week, with the mid and end varying.
