Coastal Cyclists is a recreational bicycle club established in Charleston, SC in 1972. We host a variety of weekly rides and promote cycling education, safety and advocacy in our community. Coastal Cyclists is affiliated with local, state and national cycling and cycling advocacy organizations.
We love to ride. We ride for fun. We ride for exercise. We ride to support bicycling advocacy. We ride to promote safe cycling.
Along with our weekly rides, Coastal Cyclists hosts a popular Spring Century (formerly known as The After the Bridge Run Ride) which gathers cyclists from around the country and supports state and local cycling initiatives. We promote cycling with this ride and the money raised from registration and sponsorship also goes to support Palmetto Cycling Coalition and Charleston Moves. These cycling advocacy organizations fight to create more and better places for citizens to ride bikes.
Members enjoy supplemental insurance for injuries on club rides along with an annual oyster roast holiday party. You can join from our membership page.
We hope to see you on the road and trails around the Lowcountry!
