Chicago Cycling Club Social Rides
Friendly CCC group rides under 35 miles at 10-14 mph with multiple stops and no-rider-left-behind policy. Perfect for casual cyclists exploring Chicago on two wheels.
The vibe
No rider left behind
The Chicago Cycling Club’s Social rides are the entry point for anyone who wants to ride with a group but isn’t ready (or interested) in keeping up with fast cyclists. Under 35 miles at a conversation-friendly 10–14 mph, with multiple stops built into the route, these rides are designed to be genuinely inclusive rather than just nominally so. No rider will be left behind — the group rides together and waits at stops.
No CCC membership required to join. Class 1 and 2 e-bikes are welcome. The stops are part of the experience rather than an inconvenience — they give riders time to chat, take in a neighborhood, and make the outing feel like a social event as much as a workout.
Check the CCC ride schedule for current weekly listings, start times, and meetup locations. The Social category covers a range of distances and neighborhoods across the Chicago metro.
