Sarasota Manatee Bicycle Club

Thank you to our outgoing President John Harkey!

And thank you to everyone who came to the annual meeting today. Congratulations to the new board members!

We love supporting our fellow cycling communities. If you’re riding in Pinellas County or heading north for new routes and group rides, go check out the Pete Bicycle Club

Great people, great rides, and a shared goal of getting more folks on bikes. Give them a follow and show some love from your friends!

At the light at University Parkway, on our way to Nathan Benderson Park. Thanks to our ride leaders, Erica and Mike!

Ride Recap: New Member Ride Success! What an incredible weekend - our new member ride brought together cyclists of all levels who share a love of riding, fitness, and community.

SMBC isn’t just a bike club - we’re a group of people who value connection, health, and camaraderie on and off the bike. Whether you’re training for your next big event or just looking for a group that makes every mile more fun, you’ll find your place here.

Join us for the next ride and see why SMBC is more than a club – it’s a community.

RUN for the BOARD! We’re looking for passionate members to help shape the future of the Sarasota Manatee Bicycle Club. Whether you’ve been riding with us for years or just joined, your perspective and energy matter.

Next year we have eight board openings – and we’d love for you to consider stepping up. You don’t need special experience, just a love for cycling and community.

Board meetings happen every two months on Wednesday evenings, and everyone contributes in their own way – from planning rides to helping with events.

Not ready for a board seat? No problem! We’re also looking for volunteers to help with CycleFest, the newsletter, sponsorships, social events, and more.

If you’ve ever thought, “Someone else will do it,” this is your sign that maybe that someone is you.

📩 To nominate yourself, email [email protected] with your name, contact info, SMBC experience, picture, and a why you’d love to contribute.

Let’s build the next great chapter of SMBC together – because we’re more than a club, we’re a community!

We learned about tubed vs tubeless, pro tips on getting a tire and tube onto a difficult wheel, and what to keep in your flat kit. Thank you Playtri Sarasota!
