/r/CLT_Cyclists
A subreddit dedicated to the cycling scene in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Queen City itself! This is a subreddit where we discuss the varying cycling communities, secret cycling spots, daily grievances of cycling, and so on, all within the city of Charlotte. Neighboring communities are also welcome! We are also the co-hosts of Charlotte's Critical Mass Ride!
A helpful collection of all the bicycle shops, cycling groups, bicycle advocacy groups, and rider resources local to Charlotte. Updated every fiscal quarter. User input welcomed!
Rules:
Be respectful. This is a local community subreddit for all of the city's cyclists. These aren't random people across the globe that you're talking to - they are you neighbors, your friends, and your family members. Be respectful and kind when talking to each other.
No violence, vigilantism, or victim blaming. Do not advocate for violent behavior against others. Occasional jokes about taking a U-lock to a parked car in the bike lane are okay - threatening to run a cyclist over is not. It is okay to provide riders with helpful information in navigating a crash - it is not okay to tell a rider that they deserved it.

Call to Action: Regarding collision on Queens Rd W & Princeton Ave
Hi Everyone,
At around 5:40pm on Tuesday the fifth of March there was a collision at the Queens Road West and Princeton Ave intersection.
In particular, I'm hoping to track down the cyclist who stopped to help me and was present in the aftermath of the crash.
This man was an older fellow and rode a black cervello with exposed cables. If that sounds like any rider you may know or be aware of, please reach out to him regarding this post and and leave a comment below this post so I can get into contact with you.
Thanks for the help guys. Stay safe out there and happy riding!

A compact bike cleaning kit for the space conscious cyclist
Given the recent rains and gritty weather, thought I'd share a post of my humble bike cleaning kit for fellow apartment dwellers or folks without access to an outdoor hose. Just a lawn sprayer with water and various brushes/sponges/rags/cleaner/degreaser. It's not fancy, but it keeps the components in working order and is easy to use. Also recommend investing in a bike stand and dummy hub (not too expensive, or share among friends).

Longest off road gravel route
I’ve heard people talk about a long ride from CLT to south carolina but the longest greenway I’ve found was only 8 miles. What are we missing?
Im looking for a 30ish mile ride where I don’t have to worry about car traffic. Please help!

Who builds bike wheels in Charlotte?
I've been saving up for six months so that I could buy all the needed items to build up a wheel with a dynamo hub. The only thing I don't have yet are the spokes. I was tossing around the idea of spending a day (or several) at the Recyclery, but I don't always have the time for that, and would love to have it done professionally.
So... who in Charlotte builds bicycle wheels?
