Want to get outside, meet your neighbours, and explore Belleville by bike?
Us, too.
So BOQ.BIKE put our heads together with our friends at The Fit Collective to bring you a new bi-weekly Thursday Night Ride Series, open to everyone – no membership required.
Think Belleville’s bad for biking? We’re here to prove the opposite.
TL;DR:
Every other Thursday evening (starting June 5)
Meet at 6:20, wheels down at 6:30 PM
Start location: The Fit Collective, 199 Front Street (gym entrance on Bridge)
Riding time: 60–90 minutes
Distance: 15–25 km depending on the week (conversational pace, no one left behind)
What to expect: Casual, social riding on in-town routes, great conversation, new friends, and a fun way to dip your toes into an active lifestyle. You might find yourself keeping the good times going by popping into the Lark or Kafana post-ride!
These are “no drop” rides – no one will be left behind, and we’ll stop often to regroup. All bike types are welcome, and riders must show up for the ride ready and self-sufficient, which means your bike is in working condition, and you have your helmet, bell, lights, water, snacks, and a positive attitude.
RSVP
The Fit Collective x bayofquinte.bike rides are open to the public and no membership or RSVP is required before arrival.
Waiver: https://boq.bike/waiver – Please sign before attending your first ride.
