Social media and social networking can be powerful mediums for fun, discovery, and staying connected with your friends after you wrap up your cycling adventures. (Note: we said “after”, we’re NOT suggesting you forego a ride in order to tweet about going on a ride!)
Check us out on the following sites and get involved!
ADVENTURE CYCLING BLOG
Our daily blog posts cover bicycle travel news, touring tips & gear, bicycle routes, Willie Weir’s "Sights and Sounds" column, organizational news, membership highlights, tours, and more. Subscribe or get the updates by liking our Facebook page.
BIKEOVERNIGHTS.ORG
Bikeovernights.org is our new website that provides inspiration, resources, and tools for short bicycle tours (1-2 nights). You'll find stories, tips, and how-tos about embarking on short overnight cycling adventures, whether you're traveling to a beautiful state park solo, lounging at a B&B with friends and family, or anything in between!
DISCUSSION FORUMS
Thousands of cyclists use our discussion forums. There you’ll find conversations brewing about bicycle travel in general, gear talk, our routes, temporary road closures, regional discussion areas (plus an international board), and more.
