Orange Line Shutdown Daily Convoy Rides
Various group rides will be leaving from some Orange Line Stations and the surrounding areas every weekday during the shutdown. These rides are all designed for beginner riders who are newer to city biking. Feel free to get in touch with a ride leader before your ride, or just show up at the location ready to ride. Ride Leaders will likely be wearing a high-visibility vest or something orange/yellow.
