In an attempt to help more potential members find us, BCI started a pilot Meetup Group.
We ran it for 12 months to see how well it got word out about our club; If you see more guests show up, take the time to welcome them, and as needed - explain why we ride the way we do…
Some may have some inexperience or bad habits we collectively can help improve !
If you are in Meetup, we encouraged members to join the group. If you are not involved in meetup, check it out - there are some very interesting groups hosting all kinds of activities near you that you might enjoy!
meetup.com/bicycle-club-of-irvine/ no longer exists.

After a year of offering BCI as a Meetup Group, we cancelled our subscription effective Dec 27 2023. We got about 100 prospective members but only a few showed up for any rides and none joined BCI so it was not worth keeping the MeetUp Group going.
Most find us from a simple search or word of mouth from friends or shops.
