A strong start for summer bike riding
in Nashville
It's been a busy spring here at Bike Fun. Since relaunching in April, we've
- started women/FTW-only rides on Tuesdays, centered around new & returning riders
- continued with one-on-one lessons & small classes (creating 10 new riders!)
- partnered with the New Beginnings Center to provide a bike clinic to their clients &
- led the teaching team at the Adult Learn to Ride classes through Walk Bike Nashville.

As our worlds reopen, low-impact physical movement is more important than ever in order to achieve mental & physical balance. Creating joyful bicycle riders in Middle Tennessee & beyond is Bike Fun's mission, & we're so glad you're here on the ride with us.

Bike Fun exists to create joyful and confident bicycle riders in Middle Tennessee and beyond. As a micro-sized brand new non-profit, there's a few things you can do to help in our mission:
- Tell your friends! Follow us on social media, share our information, and get our name out there.
- Got a bicycle you're no longer using - especially 24" youth and extra small adult sizes? We can accept gently used bicycles as donations and provide you with a tax receipt! Contact KJ for more information.
- Sign up to be a Patreon of Bike Fun with small, recurring monthly donations that go towards funding accessible activities. Thanks to Kathryn W., Carey R., and Brennan W. for being Patreons! (Patreon contributions are tax-deductible.)
- Volunteer! As we begin planning for Fall, 2021, volunteers are desired for small group rides, for maintenance clinics, and to serve as board members to help shape the mission of Bike Fun. Get in touch to help us out!
