Spokes y Folkx Monthly Ride

Spokes y Folkx exists because cycling’s community spaces aren’t always welcoming by default. The monthly ride is specifically for women, trans women, femme, and non-binary riders — a deliberate space where those identities are centered rather than incidental. Seven to ten miles at 9 mph with a no-drop policy means the ride is genuinely accessible to people who are still building their cycling confidence.

The starting location behind 205 E Monroe St feels a bit like a community meeting rather than a typical group ride — which is intentional. The point is connection as much as the riding itself. The pace and distance are chosen to be approachable for people who might be on their first group ride, which creates a different kind of energy than the competitive end of Austin’s cycling scene.

Monthly on Saturdays at 7:00 PM. Check austinbikegroups.com and Spokes y Folkx’s social channels for the exact date each month. If you’re looking for an entry point into Austin cycling that doesn’t feel like you need to prove yourself first, this is a genuinely good option.
