Family Bike Weekends are non- competitive, social bike rides meant for the families to enjoy taking an adventure together and alongside other like-minded families. We have chosen bike-friendly routes, predominately on rail trails and canal paths through iconic areas throughout the Northeast. In the true spirit of bike touring, all trips will be filled with sightseeing stops including historic monuments, local treasures and often ice cream along the way!

Stay at scenic, family-friendly campgrounds, with plenty of opportunity for kids to play outdoors, and for all to share memories around a fire and over a camp-side meal.

All family bike trips will be supported, though individual families have the option for self-contained travel. A shuttle will be available at the trip start to load overnight gear. Participants are also welcome to carry their own gear either in bicycle panniers or a light backpack. Shuttle service will also be available in case of any bicycle maintenance issues along the trail. A bike guide and sweep will be present on all Bike Weekend rides. 

We aim to partner with local bike clubs around New York to provide accessibility of gear and scholarship opportunities. Please reach out if you have any questions or are a community bike club who would like to bring an Weekend Family Bike Trip to your area!
