Anyone Live in Memphis?
Hey guys, I am heading to Memphis for New Years. I should be arriving on Dec. 30 and will leave of Jan. 2. I have thought about bringing my bike to go explore the city. Anyone on here live in Memphis? Just thought I'd ask and see if anyone is up for riding.

I will defend tennessee when it comes to bikes. I grew up in Knoxville and biking is quite popular there. Its just more MTB than road or fixed gear. We have some kick @$$ MTB trails back in East TN. But as far as Memphis goes, I've never been but my wife's best friend lives there now and we are going to celebrate my b-day(New Years Eve) and New Years in Memphis. Beale Street should be cool though.

My parents live in Memphis so I'm there a bit. Haven't seen many fixed gears or single speeds around, but there are definitely road bike groups around.
I go to school in Nashville and have lately seen quite a few on campus. Not sure if its cause I've been on the lookout for them this year or if there has actually been an increase.

There is a super bike co-op in the basement of First Congregational United Church of Christ at 1000 South Cooper St. it's worth a look. That place also has a really cool film co-op. Also, the Stax museum is amamzing...

I'm from Memphis, and I ride down Beale every morning to get to work before they close it off. I just rode last night with the Co-op mentioned above it was about 39 degrees last night and there were 10 of us and only 4 were not fixed gears, ranging from swobo's to a 1961 Colanago fixie. Usually there are more riders if it's warmer. You might want to contact Isaiah https://www.revolutionsmemphis.com/ to see if anythings going on that weekend.
