OutCycling - An LGBTQ+ cycling network for everyone...

Our mission is to provide bicycling activities and promote bicycling as a means of recreation, fitness, and fun. We believe in the physical and emotional health benefits that cycling provides and strive to share that philosophy with everyone. Our motto is: Fun, Fitness and Friendship for all.

Season membership is open to everyone.

The network is made up of beginner to lifelong cyclists of all levels and abilities. They are friendly, interesting people from all walks of life. Whether you're interested in training to become a better cyclist, or looking to make some new friends for casual riding, we have a place for you.

OutCycling supports the Fearless Flyers Youth Cycling Programs. Your membership or donation helps create cycling opportunities for underserved youth in NYC.

Rides take place most weekends between April and October and occasionally during weekdays as well. If you enjoy riding, and are looking to have fun, be fit, and meet interesting people, then join us - and Enjoy the Ride.
