Non-binary, femme, trans* women Night at the Bike Library. We offer bicycle repair instruction for women-identified and gender-nonconforming individuals lead by mechanics who also fit that description. This is a free program though you can choose to donate $5/hr. We encourage women-identifying and gender-nonconforming folks to learn bicycle maintenance and repair firsthand in a shop setting.
Every Tuesday from 6-8 we meet to work on bikes, talk about bikes, and simply hang out in a space that everyone who identifies as W/T/F Non-binary feel welcome and comfortable. The Bike Library is committed to building a culturally diverse volunteer base and strongly encourages POC, non-binary, W/T/F folks from the public to take advantage of the public programs we offer.

Drop In Ride
2025-07-10 17:45 - 20:30, 2025-07-17 17:45 - 20:30, 2025-07-24 17:45 - 20:30 | Riverfront Crossings Park, 1101 S Clinton St, Iowa City, 52240
The Drop In bike ride is an informal, ride at your own risk road ride that departs on Thursday evenings from Riverfront Crossing Park in Iowa City at 5:45pm. The ride is fast paced (typically 19-22 mph ave speed) with an average distance of about 35-40 miles. A strong base level of fitness is recommended. The ride emphasizes double pace line drafting, rotating pace line drafting, working together, maintaining steady speeds, and riding safely.
If you are new to the ride, try to show up 10 minutes early to ask questions and get tips. This is a drop ride, meaning that if you get dropped from the group, you should be prepared to find your own way back home. There’s no shame in getting dropped, we’ve all been there. In fact, one of the best ways to learn is to join the ride and hang on as long as you can. If you get too tired, simply drop off, enjoy the rest of the ride, and try again next time.
Road bike recommended for most mortals…or at least a bike with skinny tires. Lights are required (or at least highly recommended for the ride home). No aero bars. No e-bikes. Be prepared to fix a flat or call a friend for a ride home if you have mechanical issues. There’s no sweeper on this ride. If the weather is bad, it’s safe to assume no one will be riding.

2sday 2Wheelers Ride
2025-07-15 09:00 - 12:00, 2025-07-22 09:00 - 12:00, 2025-07-29 09:00 - 12:00 | IA
TUESDAY morning rides (aka Tuesday 2-Wheelers or T2W) take place mid-April through October (weather permitting) and range in distance from 20 to 40+ miles. Club membership is not required, but it is encouraged.
Start times and locations change with the calendar. Start time is when bikes are expected to depart. Plan on arriving 10 to 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start for sign in and ride briefing. Consult the online BIC Calendar for each ride’s location and start time and to DOWNLOAD the GPS route file to your phone or bike computer. (Instructions here.) In case of inclement weather, the ride host will post the cancellation on the BIC Facebook Page at least two hours before the scheduled start time.
Tuesday rides welcome any rider comfortable with the distances we ride. It is not uncommon for riders to ride less than the full route, but tell the ride host if you plan to do that. Most T2W riders average 13-16 mph. Faster and slower riders will ride at their own pace. That includes the ride host, so it is important that all riders have access to the route map. Most T2W routes will have one or two scheduled rest/refuel stops at restaurants or convenience stores. There may be additional regrouping stops at the ride host’s discretion. Ride hosts will communicate this information prior to departure.
