*Entry is free, but please note this is a self-supported ride (we won't have extra tubes if you get a flat).

**Please review the route in advance. While we aim to have sweep riders to support a range of paces, this is an open, voluntary community ride—and with roughly 120 participants, we can’t guarantee that everyone will remain together. We recommend riding with a friend. If you become separated, regroup at Eighty-Eight Brewing Co. 

⇒ August 05 | Bike Club Route: Cassette | 15km - Easy

Since one of the bosses is away on Vaycay, we're opting for a simpler route so that things don't get too complicated. If this is your first Bike Club, it'll be a good one to get acquainted with riding in a big group. We have sweep riders at the back to accommodate different paces - but if you get separated, re-group at Eighty-Eight Brewing Co.

*Route subject to change due to Calgary's never-ending construction addiction - as in, we'll mostly be sticking to the South-side of the Bow River as the pathway is still closed from Bridgeland to Kensington.

⇒ July 22 | NEW! Bike Club Route: Highline Hustle | 15km - Medium

With Stampede finished, the city pathways are ours! Yipee! Come ride our new route with us. 

⇒ July 08 | Bike Club Route: BOW BLISS

With Stampede and Memorial Drive construction messing with our Chi, we're gonna have a zenned out Bow river ride. Note that the route will be slightly different than posted, so be sure to follow the crowd. And when in doubt, re-group at Eighty Eight Brew Co. Lastly, SRAM will have a tent set up at 88. Be sure to check it out and say hello - they'll make it worth your while ; )

⇒ June 24 | Bike Club Route: DON'S REVENGE

Who is Don, why are they seeking revenge, and who are they seeking revenge upon? Find the answers to all your questions and more at this up and coming Bike Club. 

⇒ June 10 | Bike Club Route: Nose Creek Lolly - RAIN OR SHINE!

*Route subject to change due to Calgary being Calgary. What can we say - we all live in a construction site.

⇒ May 27 | Bike Club Route: Yo Quiero Taco Max Bell 

*Route subject to change due to Calgary's two seasons: Winter and Construction. 

⇒ May 13 | Bike Club Route: Cassette 

*Route subject to change due to Calgary's never-ending construction addiction.

⇒ Oct 24 | Mark Kowalchuck | Art Show & Live Painting

Come meet Mark Kowalchuk, the artist behind Skully, our beloved coffee/beer‑drinking skeleton logo.

Mark is a Calgary‑based visual artist who has played an integral role in the skate and snowboard scene, while also collaborating with many musicians—from Canadian stoner‑rock band Woodhawk to global metal icons Metallica, as well as touring and live painting on stage with Swedish metal band In Flames. His artwork has been featured by brands such as Yes Snowboards, Bones Wheels, ThirtyTwo, Etnies, and of course, your very own Bike and Brew (to name just a few).

Join us for beers and bevvies while checking out Mark’s art—and don’t miss the chance to watch him perform a live painting. You’ll also have the opportunity to grab one of his signed, limited‑edition prints.

This free event runs from 5–9 PM on Friday, October 24th at Bike and Brew.
