Shenanigans 2026 Adventure Bike Club!

Registration for 2026 ABC opens on May 4th. If you have found our registration page before visiting the website, please click here for information about ABC. ABC starts with an orientation day on Saturday June 14th, then meets weekly at 5:45pm for 8 weeks, at Big Creek Park in Geauga County.

What do my kids need?

Simple, a bicycle (no training wheels or kick stands) or balance bike in good working order, a helmet, and a water bottle in a backpack or mounted to the bike. If they are using a backpack make sure it fits well and there are no dangling straps while riding. We do not allow training wheels, and kick stands must be removed. If your child is still on training wheels we highly recommend a balance bike to help them learn to ride. We also have a few to lend, just let us know! Why no kick stands? In the event of a tumble kick stands pose a risk for a puncture injury.
