What Does It Take?
What does it take to keep Different Spokes Bicycling Club alive & inspiring?
As most of you would know, keeping any group together and purposeful takes time, pride, work, and money. Just as you know, the success of any gathering is usually due to its participants. Yes, you, the participants. You, the cycling aficionado is why Different Spokes wants to continue providing a cycling opportunity that is both challenging and satisfying.
This means providing consistent scheduled rides, dedicated leadership, and strong communication via social media or apps like Strava, and RideWithGPS. Our success relies on building a safe, inclusive "no-drop" community, organizing social events, and managing risks through insurance, clear safety protocols, and a solid weekly riding route.
As Different Spokes continues to evolve, we have decided to re-implement membership dues. (Many thanks to “always” paying members). Membership dues are now $20/year. A simple fee that, more than anything, gives us all, a feeling of commitment. Paying your membership is easy. The Different Spokes website now has a Zelle QR code.
To those of you who responded to our last email, re: Board Participation, thank you very much. At the same time, we are still wishing/looking for members to become (occasional) hosts. Don’t be shy. Become a host and choose your own route.
