Ride Summary: In lieu of a Bike Party this week, we’re leading a good old fashioned Bluff Ride. We can call it Halloween-themed and you can dress up if you want. Here’s the skinny:

Let’s ride bikes up to the Bluffs. We can drink some beverages and look at the water treatment plant. Then we’ll bomb back into town for a nightcap at Public House.

This’ll be a 21+ ride.

If you’ve never been up to the Bluffs…it’s one of the tougher climbs in town and the last bit is gravel, so be prepared to put some work in.

BRING LIGHTS.

Challenge Level: Party Pace but with a big sustain-ish climb.

Distance/Elevation: 6.8mi/578ft

Average Pace: 8.5-11.5 mph

Link to Route: Ride with GPS

Appropriate Bike: Any bike that you feel comfortable mashing up a big hill and that can tackle a smidge of gravgnar.

Rider Expectations: 

• The climb up to the bluffs is tough…bluff tough. Be prepared to climb a hill.

• BYO-double-B (Bring Your Own Beverage to the Bluff)

• This is technically a mixed-surfaced ride. Be prepared to ride your bike on-road AND off-road (gravel).

• Locks recommended. Lights HEAVILY encouraged. Helmets required

Join in for Knoxville's first ever official Halloween Haunt Ride! This ride will be roughly 10 total miles and consist of two legs.

Leg 1 starts at Suttree Landing Park in South Knox and wheels roll at 6:15 sharp. The first leg should take about 45 minutes (at a leisurely pace) and goes through Downtown, Old North, and Fourth & Gill. This leg will end at a local bar (to be announced soon) and the costume contest will take place at there. Prizes will be awarded for Best Costume in the following categories: Spookiest, Funniest, and Most Creative.

Leg two will kick off around 8:00 and take roughly 30 minutes. This leg will go through Parkridge and end at Market Square. While most of the roads will be small, neighborhood streets, there are a few times we will be crossing larger arteries like Broadway and Central. While our events are always open to children, we do not plan them around kids, so bring any children with that in mind. As with any ride of this nature, use common sense to be safe and ride at your own risk.

The ride is free but registration is encouraged to help us plan accordingly. Registration IS required for the costume contest for ease of judging. We humbly ask for a donation of $10 or $20 if you are able, with the money going in a 50/50 split to both us and Two Bikes.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON COSTUMES: Due to the nature of this being a mass bike ride, we ask that costumes refrain from copious blood and gore. If there is a wreck, we need to know what is zombie or vampire blood verses real human blood. If you utlize that in your costume, please keep it minimal or make it very clear it is costume blood. We hope you understand.

Ride Summary: Meet at the shop, wheels down at 9:15am, and we roll to the approximate center of the Gay St. bridge. Bring whatever you need to make and enjoy coffee out of doors (camp stove, aeropress, mug, etc).

Of course not everyone has the doo-dads for an al fresco cup, BUT COFFEE OUTSIDE IS FOR EVERYONE, so we’ll have plenty of grounds and water and fire to boil water…just bring a mug!!!

Ride Summary: Our very first Coffee Outside ride wasn’t anything epic. It was a short — very short — ride to the JFG sign. We made coffee. The view was nice. The company was even nicer. It was a great way to start a lazy Sunday. Then a few years ago the JFG sign disappeared, tucked into some Indiana Jones-esque warehouse, and Coffee Outside wandered the land. But when one pot empties another mug is filled and now we have the CAR-FREE GAY ST BRIDGE!!!

Meet at the shop, wheels down at 9:15am, and we roll to the approximate center of the Gay St. bridge. Bring whatever you need to make and enjoy coffee out of doors (camp stove, aeropress, mug, etc).

Of course not everyone has the doo-dads for an al fresco cup, BUT COFFEE OUTSIDE IS FOR EVERYONE, so we’ll have plenty of grounds and water and fire to boil water…just bring a mug!!!

Ride Summary: For our 2026 “season opener” ride we’re partnering with Trees Knoxville for a TREE PLANTING RALLY. How’s that work, you’re wondering? It’s un-be-leaf-ably simple: Gather a team (or ride solo) and branch out across town to plant, water and learn about local trees. You’ll receive a Tree Passport with a list of locations and activities like prepping a root ball, digging a hole or tree identification. At each stop a volunteer will stamp your Passport. Stops and activities can be completed in any order. By the end of the ride, you’ll be a certified tree planter.

The TREE PLANTING RALLY is knot a race, it’s a rally! But there will be awards for the quickest three teams/riders with a fully stamped Passport.

Meet at Caswell Park at 9:30am for registration. The ride starts at 10:30am.

Potchke and Husmus Studio will provide bagels and coffee for breakfast (yum!). Don’t forget to stick around after the ride for a tree giveaway and an afterparty at Ricky’s.

Here’s what the day’ll look like:

9:30am - 10:00am Registration/Breakfast

10:00am - 10:30am Ride Orientation

10:30am - 12:30pm TREE PLANTING RALLY

12:30pm - 1:00pm Awards and Tree Giveaway

1:00pm - ??? Afterparty at Ricky’s!

Challenge Level: Party Pace for some, Serious Amateur for others.

Distance/Elevation: That’s up to you! But expect to ride 10-15 miles.

Appropriate Bike: Any bike is good working condition will do…but I’d maybe leave the beach cruiser at home.

Rider Expectations: 

• This is not a traditional group ride. Teams or solo riders will choose their own routes and may complete the stop/activities in any order.

• This is a rally-style ride, not really a race. Yes, you can ‘win’ the ride, but the stakes are low. Hit as many stops and complete as many activities as you want; the important part is poking around town with friends and leaving things better than we found them.

• This is an unsupported ride so be prepared for any roadside issues (i.e. bring a multitool and a flat-fix kit).

• Dress accordingly. Spring weather can be unpredictable and you might get a little dirty planting all those trees.

• Be comfortable riding on public streets. Respect the rules of the road and don’t forget to yield to more vulnerable road-users.

• Helmets and closed toe shoes required. Locks recommended. Tool kits encouraged.

Cranksgiving Lucky Number Seven!!!

If you’re not familiar…Cranksgiving is a bike race, social ride, scavenger hunt, and food drive all rolled into one.

Each year as Yog-Sothoth demands, a dark covenant will gather beneath the solar temple to herald the lifting of the veil between the living and the dead. When the sun crosses the point of Orion’s Sword (2PM) and the veil is at it’s thinnest, a host of intrepid cyclist will sweep across the city like the locusts of Azathoth completing terrifying challenges that will test the very fiber of their souls.

Bring your ceremonial garbs and be prepared to ride like a headless hessian.

The Casket Cat is an alley cat race. At the start of the race, riders will receive a ‘manifest’ with a list of checkpoints. At each checkpoint you’ll be asked to complete some sort of challenge (don’t worry, it won’t be anything crazy). The first rider to make it back having visited every checkpoint is the winner.

Ride Summary: Introducing Two Bikes’ Continuing Education Rides Series. For our first installment we’ll be visiting our friends at Native Plant Rescue Squad (NPRS), an educational non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and restoration of the rich diversity of the native flora in East Tennessee.  NPRS works with entities such as builders, developers, and landowners to rescue native plants that would otherwise be destroyed during clearing, building, and development. The rescued plants are then made available for educational opportunities and restoration projects.

Sarah Heizenroth, a volunteer with the squad, will lead the ride and Joy Grissom, co-founder and director of NPRS will lead a tour, giving us an inside look at the ins-and-outs of their work and efforts to increase the overall ecological health of our region.

Afterwards, we’ll head to Orange Hat East/Baker Boy Pizza for post-learning beer and ‘za.

Ride Summary: You may not know it but Knoxville is responsible for some pretty important contributions to humanity. It’s true. Life as we know it wouldn’t be the same without our humble little ‘burg. For starters Rachmaninoff played his last concert here (the arts) and Oak Ridge is right down the street (the sciences). We’re also a test-bed city for fast food and casual dining chains (gastronomy). So you see, what happens in Knoxville reverberates across the globe.

Step (or ride) back in time with us as we learn about the hometown inventions that shaped the modern world and explore the legendary locations where genius flourished. For September’s Bike Party we’ll be honoring Knoxville’s most noble contributions to the human race: Mt. Dew and dumpsters.

We’ll end the night at the historic dive bar* (and I mean ‘dive bar’ in the most endearing way), The Corner Lounge…as featured in Cormac McCarthy’s ‘Suttree’.

Every ride participant will get a Charm’s Blow Pop, which was also invented in Knoxville.

We’ll be taking a mid-ride break at Ned McWherter Park (mile 5), so bring a snack or a beverage.

This ride is 21+ up

* Dive bars are NOT a Knoxville invention. We just needed a third thing to give the ride a snappy, Fieri-esque title.

Ride Summary: Tanh’s taking the handlebars this month and leading an icy cool ride down the Third Creek Greenway to our chill pals at Pelican SnoBalls — always a classic.

Last year I (Matt) did this ride on a recumbent trike and it was an experience. Turns out the best place to ride your recumbent to is a place that sells shaved ices. If you’re unable to enjoy the stable platform and confident ride of a recumbent trike, I guarantee that you’re still gonna have a great time. You can also rent the recumbent trike for the evening.
