Welcome to the Green Mountain Bicycle Club!
Founded in the winter of 1970/71, GMBC is the oldest bicycle club in Vermont and sits among the oldest in the country.
The mission of GMBC is to promote safe riding practices, sharing the road, and following state laws pertaining to bicycles (i.e., stopping at stop signs/lights and not to impede traffic flow).
The road is full of dangers, and to mitigate these, GMBC encourages all cyclists to mount a bright rear flasher (and a front one is recommended as well, especially if riding on busy roads), to wear bright clothing and a helmet, use arm signals, to stop at stop signs/lights – or at least to slow to a crawl – and to mount a mirror.
GMBC offers rides from April to November and competitive events from May to August. Join the club’s listserv to receive event announcements or visit the online calendar.
