Welcome to the Evansville Bicycle Club Homepage!
Welcome to the Evansville Bicycle Club's Homepage
Our monthly club meeting is on the second Thursday of every month except January at the Pizza Chef in Newburgh Indiana at 6:30 PM.
The Evansville Bicycle Club is a recreational organization that centers its activities around the sport of bicycling. Our membership includes over 200 individuals and families, most of whom live in the Southwestern Indiana area. The EBC has been active for over 25 years, and is a year-round organization.
The primary purpose of the club is to provide the opportunity for its members to participate in cycling activities on a regular basis, over pre-selected and usually well marked cycling routes in group rides. By riding in groups, members enjoy bicycling in relative safety, with knowledgeable cyclists, and reap the rewards of friendship and encouragement. The club is very active, promoting organized "rides" year-round, and as many as 10 per week during the warm weather months. Monthly membership meetings are well attended and provide an opportunity to keep the club well organized and responsive to the needs of its members.
The EBC also hosts a nationally recognized bicycle tour "The Great Pumpkin Metric" the first weekend of October.
