THANK YOU, riders! I hope you all enjoyed the Bike the Bluebonnets ride yesterday. We sincerely appreciate you attending and we enjoyed hosting each of you. Because of you, we had nearly 1,000 riders.  A very safe and huge success!

The photographer, PedalPix, has posted the photos to their website. Please visit and take time to purchase your photos. There are some great photos of everyone riding along Sugar Ridge Road and at the finish line. You can view and purchase them here.

It’s great seeing all the photos being posted to social media.  Link to our hashtag, if desirable. If you are looking for group rides or events, please check out our Event Calendar.

Ride safe,
GDB Board and Members

  • No use of cellphones while riding (please pull off and stop to take or make a call)
  • Use common sense if you have aerobars - please don't use them while in tight formations on group rides
  • Helmets must be worn on all GDB rides

A Note About Membership

The Greater Dallas Bicyclists (GDB) Board of Directors want to emphasize the value and importance of a current membership in GDB. Membership is $20 a year or $36 for two years. When one considers staying current on the forum to keep up with ride changes and impromptu gatherings, two annual picnics and a holiday party, our hosting the annual Super Bowl Sunday ride to Downtown Dallas for riders of all the area clubs, and our major event of the year, the annual Bike the Bluebonnets rally -- the value of a $20 membership is clear.
 
Why is membership important? As hard as we work at safety and remaining vigilant for hazards, we still need all riders to have signed a waiver before riding in our group rides or attending our events -- for the protection of the club, its members, and its Board.  The waiver is part of the membership application, and by signing/joining, you accept that waiver.
 
Are there folks walking around with clipboards and waiver forms at our rides?  YES -- because non-members also participate in our rides, who have not agreed to the waiver through membership.  Additionally, the forms ask for emergency contact information, to be used in cases of an accident or illness.  So, even if you are a member, please fill in your emergency contact information at any ride you participate in!  Do we sort, file and store these forms? No...  but without the waivers, we could not function as a club, and having emergency contact information for riders is important.
 
If you’ve been thinking of joining or if your membership has lapsed and you’ve been putting off renewal, or you know someone who has, do us all the favor of renewing today. Just click on the JOIN GDB link above and join or renew today.
