The Wheeling Wheelmen Bicycle Club founded by Phyllis Harmon, had its first meeting on April 26, 1970 with over 100 members in attendance. Since that time, the club has grown to almost 300 men and women serving the Northwest Chicagoland area with organized rides, social outings, informative meetings, bicycle advocacy, and a lot of friendship.

Wheeling Wheelmen club rides are done in a 'ride at your own pace' format. Cue sheets are provided so that, depending on who shows up, riders of similar riding ability can get together and ride at a pace that works best for them.
Most rides will have anywhere from 5 to 25 riders. Almost all rides have rest stops where riders can re-group if they want.
Club rides leave at the posted time. Check the ride start times and arrive early enough to set up your bike, sign in, get your cue sheet and meet the other riders. Club rides are a good way to improve your fitness and riding skills.
The 2019 ride schedule, from March 17 to October 31, will have almost 300 rides this season!
There are short and long mileage options every weekend as well as a variety of weekday and evening rides.

Join us for the Annual Wheeling Wheelmen Picnic
at Heron Creek Forest PreserveNote that the Picnic is for Members Only
Sunday, July 14, 2019
The ride will start at 9:00
There are also hiking and biking trails available in the forest preserve.
This year's ride and picnic will be held on Sunday July 14th with the ride beginning at 9:00 followed by our picnic. As most of you know, Al and Cindy retired after providing the meal for the past 20 years. This year's picnic, therefore, will be a less formal event.
The club will provide snacks (chips, etc.), water and soft drinks. You are invited to bring your own lunch items and beverage choices. So whether or not you plan to have a lunch, you are all invited to share in this social time with your Wheeling Wheelmen friends.
