What we’re about
Welcome to Spokes N' Jokes. We are Cleveland's Oldest Running Social Bike Riding Group on Meetup!
This is a local Co-ed biking group ages 21 and up that likes to ride their bikes in a group setting. This is a non competitive group that is created to build social networks of bike riders.
This is a social group, which means we put social and fun first. Anyone looking to race or brag about their bike might not fit in too well here. Spokes N' Jokes is a judgement free zone. Whether your bike is expensive or found in a dumpster, everyone is welcome here at Spokes N' Jokes. This group is laid back with the goal of exploring new trails, meeting new friends and trying new places to eat.
Spokes N' Jokes is a casual cycling group. While it is not a "speed group" it is not a beginner group either. Usually speeds are between 10 to 12 mph. The group was founded with the no rider left behind motto and I stand by it. Each event organizer understands this as well.
Spokes N' Jokes has evolved into a "Traveling" bike group. We feature one trail a month that is out of the area to try. We have gotten board doing the same trails over and over again so once a month, we feature something out of the area to explore.
We still occasionally put up the local rides, dubbed Spokes N' Jokes classics to enjoy.
Trails consist of rail trails and metro parks with the occasional Single Track thrown in there.
Spokes N' Jokes is open to people who enjoy life and are not easily offended. Bikers who are compared to Lance Armstrong, Greg Lamond, or anyone attempting "X-Games" stunts are NOT going to enjoy this leisure activity especially for these rides.
On our casual rides, there is a no "Lancing Policy." That means this ride is not a full throttle Olympic time trial. Faster Riders must understand the speed of the group.
So if you feel like riding, trying new places, have a good sense of humor and want to meet new friends, welcome aboard! \
