BOQ.BIKE + Fit Collective Social Rides

The Fit Collective 199 Front Street, Belleville

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.
