All rides of the Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society are free to members of Hostelling International and $3 for non-members.

While BABES rides are open to cyclists of all skill levels, it's helpful if you feel comfortable with reading maps and following road signs before attending one of our rides. But if you aren't, we will help you become a more self-sufficient cyclist!


Sign up here if you would like to get our Ride Schedule and News and Notes e-mailed to you and participate in our online forum at STLBiking.com!
