Ride Summary: The classics never go out of style, they just get better.
We’ve been kicking the idea around the shop for a bit now and we figured this year is the year: we’re changing the name of our Critical Mass rides to something that does more justice to the spirit of the ride (and tbh to the spirit of Critical Mass).
From now on our last-Friday-of-the-month, all-bikes-welcome, just-for fun rides will be known as BIKE PARTY!
To celebrate this landmark shift in the fabric of the Knoxville cycling community, we’re taking a tour of the North Knox, Oakwood and Lincoln Park neighborhoods. We’ll climb up to the sweetest little pocket park, Scott-Roberts Park, for a break before ending at Ebony & Ivory Brewery (2300 N. Central St.).
Ebony & Ivory will be offering $1-off your first beverage, and Friends BBQ will be on hand to sling food. It’s gonna be a good time!

Rider Expectations:
Sometimes the rides will NOT end where they begin. Plan ahead.
One day the world will be one giant greenway but for now we gotta be comfortable with sharing the road with cars.
These rides are always no-drop and very chill, but be prepared to ride 5-8 (sometimes hilly) miles.
Locks recommended. Lights encouraged. Helmets required
