If you are looking for organized bicycle rides in the Claremont, California area, you’ve come to the right place. The Claremont Senior Bike Group (CSBG) is a fun, friendly group of cyclists of all skill levels. Claremont has been designated a Bicycle Friendly City by the League of American Bicyclists!
In 2011, our group logged 82612 miles on scheduled group rides, not counting the impromptu rides we often inspire.
Our regular weekly rides are on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings; beginner rides are on Tuesday mornings.
All riders must wear a helmet and sign the CSBG Waiver.
MISSION
We provide an environment where folks can participate and grow in bicycling in a safe, friendly setting. We are not a racing club, but we do enjoy and encourage recreational bicycle riding at all skill levels.
MEMBERS
All adult ages and skill levels are welcome. We have about 60 active riders and about 50 more who ride on occasion or intend to start soon. Our group continues to grow every year. In all, we have approximately 120 members.
Membership is free since we are sponsored by the Claremont Senior Program. The median age of our frequent riders is about 65, several of our riders are in their 40s and 50s, and some of our most active riders are in their 80s. Nearly half of our riders are women.

Was curious if there was a senior bicycle riding group in our area (La Verne residents) After many years of not riding my wife and I are back pedaling again. Decided to google senior bicycle riders and up came CSBG. Your group sounds very interesting.
Hi,
I’m 66 and live in the mountain resort of Wrightwood on the desert side of the San Gabriels. I’ll be retiring in 2 weeks and hope to start riding more often than 1-2 times a week. Since I like to come your way to do some relatively “flat rides” (I’m not a climber, even though I live in the mountains), I may try to join you folks on one of your rides – sounds like my kind of group. Thanks and take care.

Joe – we hope you can join us! Thanks for stopping by.
Good morning! I hope sometime in the near future (perhaps next Thursday-March 17) to join you folks on a ride. I did print out and will bring to the ride, the CSBG ride waiver. Larry Johnson was kind enough to inform me of your club and all the enjoyment to be had with your rides.
Thanks
Mark
Oh BoY!! My bad; I meant to note Larry OLSON (not Johnson).
This design is incredible! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
