Orange Bike Club
Free biweekly social rides out of UT Austin's Orange Bike Project co-op at the 27th Street Garage — casual and beginner-friendly, open beyond just students.
The vibe
Campus co-op rolls out
The Orange Bike Project is UT Austin’s student-run bike co-op — cheap repairs, rentals, and a genuine hub for campus cyclists out of the 27th Street Garage. The Orange Bike Club is its riding arm: free biweekly group rides open to experienced riders and total beginners alike.
It’s a good, low-stakes way to learn how to actually ride in Austin traffic with people who’ll show you the safer routes, and a solid way to meet other campus-adjacent cyclists without needing to already own a race bike or know anyone.
Bring your own bike — that’s the only requirement. Watch @orangebikeproject on Instagram or email ahead for the next ride date.
