There are many rides in the area. We are leaving the Spin Zone Bike shop in Granger, IN on Thursday evenings. There are other rides (Outpost Sports) leaving North Point school in Granger, IN on Tuesdays. Another ride leaves the ProForm bike shop on Thursday evenings. There are MBA rides leaving different locations around South Bend and Granger almost every day of the week. South Bend was certified at Bike Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists this year.!.!
