The Louisville Bicycle Club, formerly known as Louisville Wheelmen, is a bicycle club that serves the greater Louisville metropolitan area in Kentucky, including Southern Indiana.

Our organization is composed entirely of volunteers and is dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle through the various aspects of cycling, including sport, recreation, and utility. Additionally, we advocate for the rights of all cyclists.

We offer a range of daily rides. Check out our Ride and Event Schedule for our up to date calendar

Since our founding in the late 1890s, the Louisville Bicycle Club has been one of the country's most active and progressive clubs.

Upcoming Events


6th Annual Cranksgiving Louisville

Join the LBC in supporting our city's Cranksgiving event. For this event the riders give back to the community. Starting from Willow Park, we ride our bikes to local stores, purchase food for the needy, and transport that food back to the park. You can make as many stops and/or trips as your heart and wallet desire. The food will go to the Dare to Care Food Bank. Be sure to bring a backpack, pannier, or trailer to haul the food. The course is up to each rider, but we suggest you stay in groups for safety. More details about the rides can be found on our ride event schedule page.
