Road riding is an excellent way to get outdoors and have fun. Rides can vary from a Sunday afternoon ‘cruise’ around the local park, to an all day effort in preparation for a Gran Fondo. In every instance, we think it’s always better with friends! 2020 will mark the ninth year of the Steed Cycles Ride Club, and we’d be thrilled if you joined us.
Club Benefits:
- Two rides per week (Wednesday & Sunday)
- Ride Club Jersey
- Monthly post-ride barbeques
- In-store discounts
As a member of the club, we will have planned weekly group rides (Wednesday evening 6pm and Sunday morning 8am) led by a dedicated Steed Cycles Ride Leader. Following feedback from our members we are bringing an increased focus on Rider safety and improving the riding experience for all.
Five different pace/ability groups.
Speeds ranging from 20kph – 30+kph
Smaller Groups with Additional Leaders
These rides offer a great opportunity to learn about group riding etiquette and technique in order to be courteous and safe.
Over the winter we have been hosting Zwift Rides and will be launching Gravel Rides as options for members. Stay tuned.
Club membership will also entitle you to a 15% discount on all regular priced parts and accessories**, and a 25% discount on all Steed Cycles branded clothing. To help keep you looking and feeling great on the road, your first “Steed Cycles” branded riding jersey is free when you sign up.

The annual cost is $150 which includes a Steed Cycles Ride Club Jersey* ($139.99 value). The club will have active rides from April 5th through September 16th, 2020.
*must be 18 years of age or older
Reminder that we only allow road bikes at our ride club events.
While our rides will be ‘no drop’ (meaning no one is left behind), we ask that you be able to ride for a few hours at a speed averaging around 20km/h.
It will be mandatory to ride with an adequate helmet, and it’s also expected that you carry a spare tube, tire levers and pump, even if you’re not sure on how to use them (don’t worry, we’ll help you). The staff at Steed will be more than happy to give you a demo during a ‘tech night’, so please come by and ask!
