Cycling Seniors

You can join the Cycling Seniors of Baltimore County (CSBC) if you are 60 years or older and interested in participating in bicycle rides around Maryland and surrounding areas. There is no charge for membership. All members must complete the form below annually. 

ABOUT THE BICYCLE RIDES

Members will receive a link to detailed ride information after registration. Rides are scheduled from mid-March until mid-November. Most rides are within an hour’s drive from the Baltimore area. All rides start at 10 a.m. unless told otherwise. View a video from a recent ride. We are always looking for new ride leaders to lead rides. Contact kyoung@baltimorecountymd.gov if you are interested in learning more about leading rides with Cycling Seniors. 

RIDER RESPONSIBILITIES

Riders must be at the starting location at least 20 minutes early to allow time to get their bike ready and sign in. Your bike should be in good condition to ride. Be sure to pick a ride that is within your ability, taking into account terrain and distance as well as weather conditions.

WHAT TO BRING

While Maryland law only requires those 16 and under to wear a helmet when cycling in public areas, we strongly recommend the use of helmets by Cycling Senior Participants. You should also bring:

  • Two water bottles, snacks and a lunch 
  • A tire pump, spare tube and tools to fix a flat
  • A road ID or driver’s license
  • Bike lights and flashers
  • A cell phone
