Adams Avenue Bicycles: Group rides for everyone
Article written by Michelle Valenti

In a city that is brimming with athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, it is surprisingly difficult to meet activity partners, especially for bikers. It is awkward to introduce yourself while pedaling through a training ride and you can’t always count on spontaneous draft lines, when bikers converge on their way to work. As difficult as it is to meet people while riding, it is equally frustrating and time consuming to find the right group of riders. Many group rides are intimidating. The riders tend to have superiority complexes and they meet sporadically at best. The ideal biking group would have few egos, abundant friendly faces, consistency of riding times and positively energized riders. Luckily, there is a neighborhood bike shop that has all that and more.

Adams Avenue Bicycles, located at 2606 Adams Avenue, hosts a variety of rides that will suite any style of rider. For someone who is just looking to take a light pedal around town or play on their beach cruiser for a bit, the Thursday morning coffee-ride might be a good fit. For the more serious biker looking for motivation and camaraderie, the Sunday morning ride is a great way to start the day. On Wednesday nights, the single speeds are oiled up, although regular road bikes are welcome, and Thursday nights the crew ducks into Florida Canyon, in Balboa Park, for some mountain biking kicks. The girls have claimed Thursday night as “girls night out”, so they leave separate from the guys.

Don’t fret if your bike is not ready for riding, Adams Avenue bicycles is a full service shop and retailer. Everyone on staff is thorough and experienced. They can set you on the right path for purchasing, refurbishing or rebuilding.

Adams Avenue rides are a great way to meet people, get riding and get to know the city of San Diego. This group knows the best routes for minimizing traffic concerns and optimizing the workout, and they are privy to the best coffee and pancake shops in the city. Most importantly they love bikes, they love biking and they love meeting new bikers. Although it has been argued that biking is not a team sport, it is simply not as much fun to bike alone. Especially after you have ridden with the crew at Adams Avenue.
