Music City Dope Pedalers is one of the hottest, new cycling groups in Nashville and was selected as one of the best fitness groups for the Urbaanite. Started by Nate McDowell a.k.a Nate the Great of Brassville, he decided Nashville needed a bike community that was approachable and fun, so he started bringing together people each week to get out, clear your mind and stay active. During the pandemic, there was a tremendous increase in people biking, which even created an actual bike shortage at one point. Music City Dope Pedalers is hoping to give a consistent group ride experience to new and seasoned bike riders and bring people together in the spirit of staying healthy while biking. His overall goal is to make biking super approachable and fun.
Â
Founded by Cedric Duncan in Nashville, Bike for Equality offers bike rides and bike events to promote racial, social and environmental equality and to help make all voices heard!

Queer Spokes is a community-focused group that provides a safe and welcoming space for queer adults to learn about bike mechanics and maintenance. We are dedicated to empowering individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to maintain and fix their own bikes, promoting self-sufficiency and independence in cycling. The collective is frequented by experienced mechanics who are passionate about sharing their skills and fostering a supportive learning environment. Members have access to a fully equipped workshop, tools, and resources to complete repairs. With its inclusive and empowering approach, Queer Spokes is helping to create a stronger, more sustainable cycling community for queer adults.
Since 1998, Walk Bike Nashville has sought to make our city more walkable, bikeable and livable. We want our streets, sidewalks, and bikeways to support active living, additional commuting options, and recreational opportunities. We are a 501 c3, nonprofit organization that advocates for improved infrastructure and safer streets, and works to support a culture of walking and bicycling through events and educational programs.Â
MISSION - Walk Bike Nashville is working to build a more walkable, bikeable, and livable Nashville.
