Benefits

Cycling is a low impact exercise that is easier on your joints than running or other high impact aerobic exercises.  You can increase your overall health through cycling on a regular basis.  Cycling works your blood vessels, heart and lungs to strengthen your overall fitness level.

Cost is $25 a year for an individual or $30 for a family membership. Also, you will receive a 10% discount on accessories at most area bicycle shops with your HBC membership card you can obtain by logging into this website.

Do you want to learn the safe way to ride in a group?   We can show you how. Are you interested in becoming a Ride Leader?  We provide Cycling 101 workshops, Ride Leader Training and special training for sweeps. Ride Leaders can take advantage of CPR and First Aid Training and get reimbursed $75 for taking the certification course.

HBC offers an annual series of clinics in January. You can learn basic maintenance skills such as how to clean your bike, fix a flat, chain & brake maintenance and a pre-ride safety checklist.

HBC offers bike rides with a knowledgeable Ride Leader who plans the ride and provides direction for riders of varying abilities.  The riding categories are social, D, C, C+, B, B+ and A - with D being the easiest and A being the most challenging.

Our website contains a wealth of information about the club rides, skill levels, special events, forums and more.  Forums are a communications tool members can use to talk and share ideas with other members.

HBC offers several special rides throughout the year such as:

The Spring Fling – A 3 day weekend trip in late April or early May to varied destinations. 

The Finger Lakes Tour – mid June 3 day weekend trip to Geneva, NY to experience the beauty and great riding in the region.
