Bicycle clubs are great for getting out on rides. But many are not family friendly. This club is designed to get families out riding together. We can show you how to ride with your kids on roads as well as on trails.
NW Jersey Family Cycling will be holding rides twice each week initially. One weekday ride and one weekend ride. As the club develops we will be holding more weekly rides.
Each ride will have cue sheets, and a ride leader. Our ride leaders stick with club members. No one is left behind. If you have ever been out with a club and had the whole club take off and leave you behind, you will find that this club will not do that. We are a friendly group that wants to enjoy cycling with other like minded cyclists. No one is left in the parking lot or left out of the after ride plans.
Founders Donna Price and Ken Elliott are life long cyclists. Donna cycled cross country and has thousands of miles on the bike. Ken has been a bicycle commuter, year round in Buffalo, New York. Both passionate cyclists have found that cycling has disappeared from their lives as parents. Now with kids that can pedal, they are ready to ride again.
Donna and Ken are forming the NW Jersey Family Cycling Club to find like minded riders that are ready to ride with their kids or are open to riding with families. Both Donna and Ken have been members of bike clubs and they know what a powerful way it is to ride. Frustrated by the lack of clubs in North West New Jersey, Donna and Ken decided to start one and provide the foundation of routes and cue sheets to get it off the ground.
Rides will start this year 2010 as soon as there are enough members to join the League of American Cyclists as a registered club and buy needed insurance.
