Girls On Bikes April #2

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

Join us for a social ride through the city we love , Johannesburg. We’ll meet at our home base, 44 Stanley, at 08:30 for a 09:00 start, and roll out at 09:15 sharp to honour everyone who’s on time.

This time, we’re riding through Rosebank, Parkview, Westcliff, and Zoo Lake, a route filled with some of Joburg’s best views and some steeps and scenic stretches. It’s about 10–15km, and yes, you can absolutely do it. We ride as one, which means the pace is guided by the last rider. We start together and finish together. Set aside about 1.5 to 2 hours to enjoy 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
