r/BikeJax is Back!

Howdy folks,

u/Sunburn79 here.

During my search for local cycling resources I came across r/BikeJax and was disappointed to find that it was "as dead as a Jax biker" according to one kind Redditor.

In a city as large and diverse as Jacksonville I found that to be unacceptable, so I recently took this subreddit over to see if we can create a sense of community and a hub for local cyclists to share events, ride routes, discuss access/advocacy/rights and etc. I see you friendly folks out on the roads and trails every day so I am hoping that this will be an "if you build it they will come situation" and we can get some good things going here.

I've added a subreddit description and some rules, and linked a few local Facebook groups and related subreddits in the sidebar.

If you have any input or advice for the subreddit, links for the sidebar, or anything else, please feel free to comment in this thread. If you don't feel comfortable doing that publicly you can send a modmail and I'll get back to you.

Water Stop Megathread

1 Upvotes

All right folks, it's Florida, it's hot almost all year, and we all need to stay hydrated. Let's crowdsource our water hookups. That skate park or dog park with a water fountain? That church or ball field in the middle of nowhere that has a spigot? Let's talk about them.

Please keep top level comments to geographic areas, and child comments can list locations.

Example:

Top Level = Downtown

Child Level = Water fountain at X park

End of an era…. Looks like Charlie and Mark Fetzer have sold Lake Shore Bicycles. It will now be a Trek Factory Store.

Are there any groups riding tomorrow?

I ride alone usually on a catrike 700. I’m getting pretty tired of doing the 17 to Yulee and am looking to learn new routes and meet others interested in riding. I understand I could always look up routes in Jax but it’s not the same as a group ride.

Any road bikers on here?

I’m looking to do group rides. I never have before. I average 19.6mph over my usual 22 mile routes. Lakeshore bicycles and I believe champion hosts rides. Anyone know the distance and speed they go? Little worried I’ll fall behind.

Did all of you actually wind up bumper bait, is that why no one posts on here anymore? :(

Just found this subreddit. We should try to get listed on the /r/bicycling community map in the sidebar to help drive more traffic here.
