Parking: Behind the shop, in front of the shop, and additional parking There's parking at 100 E. A Street
Thursday Night Shop Ride
Let's be honest, thursday night is when the magic happens. Tuesdays are cool, but Thursdays ... that's where it's at. Ride leads. Multiple paces. Things and stuff. People who know your name.
We roll at 6 pm sharp. There's additional parking at 100 E. A Street. There are pace options for everyone:
- The 20s: This fast and feisty group typically averages 20-plus mph!
- The 18s: This is the pretty darn fast group averaging around 18 mph. There is no warm up, only 18 mph
- The 16s: A nice steady B pace averaging between 15-17 mph
- The 14s: Perhaps the slowest of the rides but definitely the most social! Pace is 12-14 mph
The Routes:
- 14s and 16s groups on a fully marked 20-mile(ish) course
- 18s and 20s group going a little further (26.4 mi)
Sunday Morning Shop Ride
Sunday service, we roll, we roll slow, we roll fast, some people need to prep for the week, some people need to unload from the last. It's a ride at your own pace but there’s always someone riding with you kinda ride. We always stop at the C-Store in Hectorville for water/snacks and to re-group. The shop opens up at 7:45 for any last minute needs and then re-opens upon returning for the same. Route posted below. Roll your own ... pace. Things and stuff always follow.

We're not here to sell you a bicycle.
Don't get us wrong. We're a business. We need to make a living, but you can sell anything in this world. We sell bikes because we believe in them. We believe in the the power and simple elegance of one of the best machines mankind has ever created. We believe in the positive potential of a bicycle to impact the world.
Bicycling can change your life. Sure, it can help you get fit, but a good bike ride can upgrade your mood, alter your perspective, show you a different side of the places you usually just pass through on your way to somewhere else.
At City Cycles, we specialize in finding you just the right bike for whatever adventure you have planned. Road cycling. Mountain biking. Cruising about on a townie or crushing the brush on Fatbike. Or maybe you have something more custom in mind. Come see us and we'll take care of you.
“Great local bike shop! Jake does a wonderful job with service, and takes the time to listen to what you need, ask good questions, and recommend the best solution to fit you.”
“It’s just so dang good I can’t believe it. A great place to get yo gear and ride with a real cycle community.”
