We have several Farmer Markets right here in the middle of the city, which bring in local organic produce every Saturday. Bring your backpack to carry what you purchase, and let's shop the markets on our bikes! We meet for coffee and then take an easy tour of 3 to 5 markets around the city.

Bike Barn will have a mechanic on hand for any minor bicycle issues. Please ensure your bike is in good mechanical order before the ride, but air in your tires or small parts replacement will be available through Bike Barn.

We use side streets, trails and residential roads for this approximately 15 mile, 3 hour ride including generous stops.  This can be a cold ride during the winter in Houston so please make sure you are wearing layers and drink plenty of fluids.  Bike helmets are required, and an extra pack to carry you purchases and a hat is a good idea. 

Not only will you learn the markets and get some exercise, you’ll see beautiful areas you never knew existed in Houston and take home a bounty of beautiful produce, breads, sauces and jams! If you’d like to join us but don’t own a bike, West End Bicycles rents bikes for $25 per day at 713/861-2271 or www.westendbikes.com.

If you are a member of Bayou City Outdoors and do not have bike we can loan you a bike for the ride.
