During the cycling season, they organize regular training and recreational rides and club races (time trials and criteriums). GMBC takes sharing the road and responsible riding & driving seriously and asks that drivers and bicyclists work together to make roads a safer place. Their mission is to promote cycling for fitness and friendship; encourage safe, courteous riding practices; organize weekly recreational rides, training rides, and competitive events, and engage in bicycling advocacy at the state and local level.

Through mountain biking together, we all improve. This group gets together weekly for a supportive, no-drop, friendly, multi-level ride in the Wissahickon (when the trails are solid and dry).

Queen City Bike Club
Queen City Bicycle Club (QCBC) is a group of female and non-binary people riding bikes for fun, for connection, and for empowerment. There is no formal way to join Queen City Bicycle Club.
