Twin Cities Bicycling Club

Welcome All Cyclists

Come Ride With Us!

Thank you for your interest in the Twin Cities Bicycling Club (TCBC). TCBC is the largest recreational bicycling club in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. TCBC has rides and events for a range of skill levels. Most of our members are adults at an intermediate, non-racer level who enjoy the benefits of group riding. TCBC rides are open to members and non-members. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization that is operated primarily by volunteers.

TCBC offers individual memberships for $30/year and household memberships for $45/year.

If you’d like to try out a ride before you join, you can pay a $3 guest fee and sign a waiver for each ride you go on.

Benefits of membership are many:

Thousands of rides in Minnesota, Wisconsin and other states, with an online calendar and mileage tracking.
Discounts at our sponsoring bike shops and informational presentations via our Bike U program.
Medical and liability insurance for all members on TCBC rides.
An awards program and annual banquet to highlight the accomplishments of our members.

We hope you’ll join us! Click here

Season changes bring calendar changes

Attention all riders: always check the ride calendar before you go!

Because of technology advances, leaders are now allowed to cancel rides for weather-related reasons up to two hours before the ride start and up to 24 hours for any reason. If those deadlines are observed, the ride leader won't be required to show up at the ride start.

When officially canceled, the ride will appear on the ride calendar as canceled, plus there will be a notice posted to the Forum topic "Ride Canceled, Delayed or Rescheduled." You can subscribe to that topic (log in first) and get emails sent to you automatically whenever there is a posting.
