my goodness! When did hiring a bicycle become so damn expensive?... does it come with a driver & packed lunch? for that price you can rent a self-drive car here in Jordan!

Anyone keen on cycling to Limuru Saturday morning? Starting from sairt centre at 06:00

Need some friends around.. First ride this morning wasn't too bad. kept to the well lit areas that have cycling lanes, bit of dust but will survive..

Hi Wanjiku, Nyambura here. Am very interested in knowing how to ride a bike and am glad you offer the training. How can I get in touch? And where are you located.

Kindly contact me via xxx

Thanks.

Hello guys, good to see the interest.
Typically i am a lazy bone pushing myself or rather trying to push myself for starting cycling. Are we on this weekend?
I live beside westgate...so as mentioned by nim0, reaching riverside won't be a prob.

let me know if we are on coming weekend.
And i am still a novice...so hope ppl are not too fit to match )).

No advertising on the forum please.

There's a lot of cycling that happens in Karura. You may consider to have a look. Also check out 1000 Rides on facebook.

I'd like to join. Any registration fee?

Hi Leilz, you could also look up web.facebook.com/activemotionkenya/ for amazing cycling adventures. All info about registration is on the page.

Thanks a lot Patrick. I'll check it out now.

i hope its not too late, but anyway how can i join this group?

Hi people,

I don't know how to ride a bike and would like to learn. Does any of you know where I can get adult classes?

Hi Kabie.

I can connect you with a guy who taught me. He is usually in Karura Forest. He taught me how to ride about three weeks ago and now I'm really good at it. It will take about an hour for you to learn then after that  you can practice on your own.

I have a group of friends that I go cycling with in Karura every Saturday. You are welcome to join and I will introduce you to the guy.

Hi Esther,

I would love that. At what time do you get there?

We get there at around 12:30pm .

Feel free to send a message in my inbox and we can plan for next Saturday

why don't we begin a WhatsApp group? I need someone to teach me how to ride

Hi Caryn. There are a lot of cycling groups in Nairobi. Try Ben of Active Motion xxx
We do a lot of cycling over the weekends mainly.
THere are bikes available on hire at Karura forest and they teach also I believe.
Lots of cycling groups on Face Book-namely-Active Motion; The Sunday Cycle; Hashim Zuzu ; H2H Series ; Kenya Cycling;
Hope this was useful-hoping to see you soon on the roads........

Would like to join your group

Could someone recommend a good route between Karen and Kilimani? I'm a very experienced urban cyclist (Chicago) riding a bike that can handle pavement as well as off-road. If someone thinks Ngong Rd during construction is fine, I've love to follow you on a ride. From my window, it seems pretty dicey.

Thanks!

Hello, how can I join the club.
Thanks.

Hello, you still go for ride this day's?. Please connect me.
Thanks.

yes i do go. but mostly at Karura.
