2025 Summer Bash
Thank you again to all the Bike the Bluebonnets riders in April that allowed the Greater Dallas Bicyclists to donate nearly $14,000 to the surrounding communities that our rally traveled through during the event.  Because of your participation and with all of the volunteers from the club who made it possible we ALL gave back to others.  

The school will be purchasing the Back to School books/items to those that need help getting started for the year.  The police purchase items for their Toy For Tots programs.  The Red Oak Explorers are those high school aged kids that want to learn and are interested in a law enforcement career.  They are also out controlling traffic near Rest Stop #5.  The youth group at J Bar C Cowboy Church are able to attend church camp this summer in OK who were very helpful at Rest Stop #2.

It truly is heartwarming and touching to give to others in such a small way. 

Safe riding,
GDB Board and Members

  • 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.
