Girls On Bikes: April #1

We’ve caught our breath after the birthday ride, and we’re back

Join us for a feel-good social ride through the beautiful city we call Johannesburg. We’ll meet at our home base, 44 Stanley, at 08:30 for a 09:00 start and we roll at 09:15 sharp to keep things fair for everyone who’s on time.

Our route will take us through Greenside, Emmarentia, Parkview, and a touch of Melville. The perfect mix of scenery and good vibes. Expect a distance of around 10–15km (you’ve got this, we promise). Because we ride as one, the pace is set by the last rider. We start together, and we finish together. Give yourself about 1.5 to 2 hours for the full experience.

Our rides are beginner-friendly, but they do require a little bravery. It’s about showing up, trying something new, and trusting that you’re more capable than you think. There’s no pressure, no expectations, just your willingness to get on the bike and go.

A few gentle tips to help you enjoy the ride:

• Come fuelled, cycling takes energy, so make sure you’ve had something to eat beforehand

• Bring along small snacks or electrolytes to keep your energy up along the way

• The weather can be unpredictable, so sunscreen and a hat are always a good idea

• Wear whatever feels comfortable, this isn’t a spandex-only kind of ride

• It’s beginner-friendly, but it does ask a little courage, come open to trying something new

A few things to note:

• No walk-ins, bikes and helmets are prepared based on bookings

• Knowing your height helps us get the right fit for you (you can pop into Cycle Boutique at 44 Stanley if you’re unsure)

• Spots are limited and work on a first come, first served basis to keep things fair for everyone
