I live down in Greenwood and commute to IUPUI campus. When it is less than 94 degrees.

Greenwood to IUPUI? That's a pretty healthy commute. Good for you. I work over on the west side near Rockville Rd and 465. It would be a tough and circuitous ride for me.

I just got my first road bike (a Basso from a friend, though I'm not sure which model it is....maybe you guys could help?) and live in Huntington Woods, MI, 10 minutes outside of Detroit. I started commuting to work on Monday, only to find that the ride is pretty bumpy, and cars in Troy (particularly SUVs) tend to honk at bikers on the road. But it feels better than driving! I'm a total newbie, but glad to have found this forum. 'Hoping to learn the basics of bike repair and some good routes in the area!

welcome. A good group in your area to get in group ride with is the Wolverine Sports Club. They have a number of group rides not far from you.

Here is their web site: https://wolverinesportsclub.com/

Monroe, MI. Just off of Lake Erie, where the winds are predictable, and predictably suck. Soon to be getting a job in downtown Detroit which will cut into my riding a bunch, but anything to pay the bills, right?

Eastpointe,Mi chiming in.Just getting back into riding.I'm having a '76 Motobecane Grand Jubilee rehabbed and I just picked up a $25 Schwinn World Sport and an unknown vintage $30 Schwinn Varsity to help keep the wear and tear off of the Motobecane.I realized I can use the Varsity for weight training too-lifting it is good to build my shoulder muscles and biceps! Long live the cheap gas pipe bike!

columbus/gahanna, oh... anyone have any suggestions for organized group rides/clubs to ride with around this area? (i recently moved from up north but it's about 45 min away so mid-week night rides have gone kinda out of my grasp)

Chrcoe - Columbus Outdoor Pursuits club is legendary. They host many outstanding organized rides. I'm sure they've got regular club rides too.

Port Huron, Michigan. Port Huron is about 50 miles directly north of Detroit. I live right where Lake Huron feeds into the St. Clair River.

Thanks! The site looks pretty interesting, I am sure I can find something there.

I live in Woodridge, Il and do most of my riding between Woodridge and Glenview since my best friends live up there, so I go through Elmhurst and around O'Hare on the commute.

Hey folks,
Live in Plymouth, MI. Drive my trike as much as I can. Try to make my way onto Heinz Parkway. I like to do intervals, so I will give a roadie a bit of a head-start, and then reel him in while climbing up a hill. Then I hammer it down the other side of the hill. Most times I just reel in the roadies and then let them go - after they have gotten an earful of my gears clicking as I coast. Have met more people on this trike; I love it. Waiting for them to finish work on the I-275 bike path. It will be nice when the path hooks up to the connector to the bike trails of Willow Metro park, Oakwood park, and to Lower Huron park. Might take another year. Cheers, UncleD

There's a new bike website:

https://www.ThinkBicycles.org/

It's a LOCAL bike website, for Johnson County. And I had to look under "Maps" before I found it is Johnson County , IOWA.

Lafayette, IN here.

Ride mostly between downtown and Armstrong Park. Or bomb campus. Love me some Salisbury St hill and fast sidewalks through campus.

Ruin everything.

I'm from Augusta, Wisconsin - About 25 miles South East of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Home of the almost world famous Stage Coach Bicycle Route.
Approximately 21 miles round trip with alternate loops. Mostly easy but a few steep hills. A scenic route that follows along a lightly traveled road and is perfect for a family bicycle outing. Available year round and no pass is required for route use. Trailhead located in Augusta just off Hwy. 12/27 on Stone St.

If you ever come and ride the route, give me a heads up and I will give the the guided tour.
