About Group Training

To get the benefits of Personal Training at a lower cost, group training is the way to go. Group training programs are offered in conjunction with several area events. Some are even free!

Our Group Training Programs offer indoor rides to help you get stronger and faster, blended with some outdoor rides for building up base miles and learning how to ride safely with a group of cyclists on the open road.

We are preparing for our 9th year at our Training Center. Our schedule of clinics begins in November. Click on Workshops to see the schedule.

For all other information, please check out our list of options in the menu on the left.

Building a healthier community

 

What is Team Bikin’?

 

Team Bikin’ is an innovative Training Program that has been developed by local cycling promoter/coach Bikin’ Mike Keel. For 20 years Bikin’ Mike has been supporting the local cycling community through his dedication to the sport. Now you can join him and others as they work to build a more active and inclusive cycling community in North Texas.

 

Cycling

 It all starts with cycling. Join the team and we’ll have Pace Packs, groups that are based upon average cycling pace – so you get to ride with people instead of struggling to keep up. You’ll never have to run a stop sign or red light to keep up on our group rides. All Team Bikin’ members are required to sign a “Legal Cycling Only” pledge – and our Team Rides are managed so that participants can obey the laws and still have a good time.

 

Coaching

 

Team Bikin’ will be led by Bikin’ Mike, providing access to coaching in individual and group programs. We have meetings that feature cycling tips and Team Rides that will give you a chance to improve your fitness and cycling skills

Education

 When we are out on the road on Team Rides and at area rallies, we will teach other riders how to ride safely and legally by example. When combined with invitations to join our efforts, we will build a healthier cycling community.

 

Advocacy

As a group, we will be work on projects that insure our access to roadways and educate all road users to the rights and needs of cyclists. Team Members will earn points for participating in advocacy activities. 

Volunteering

 Team Bikin’ members will participate in selected area rallies as a group – and will be encouraged to participate in other events. We will strive to contribute something to these events that makes them more accessible and enjoyable for the entire cycling community.

 

Discounts

 Team Members will automatically earn discounts on specific Bikin’ Mike programs and activities and are provided a 15% discount at Plano Cycling & Fitness.

Special Events

 Team Bikin’ members will have an integral part in the planning and execution of Tour Dallas, The Collin Classic and the Happy New Rear Ride. They will also be involved in other events, like the MS150 and the Hotter N’ Hell Hundred.

 

What is the Team Bikin’ Program?

 

You join the Training Program with a small annual fee of $25. This entitles you to participate in all Team Bikin’ Activities. As a member, you are also entitled to the Team Discounts. There will be an ever-changing calendar of activities that you can participate in.

 

What riding opportunities will Team Bikin’ provide?

 

We will ride together at area rallies as well as our own team rides. Some team rides will be in town and focused on training, while others will be simple rides to enjoy the day and the fellowship of the wheel.

 

What else do I have to do?

 

As a Team Bikin’ Member, you will be expected to work as a volunteer at an area rally and to devote some time to an advocacy project. Finally, when riding, you will be expected to ride your bicycle in a safe and legal manner. As ambassadors of our sport, we will strive to ride in a way that builds respect for all cyclists and other vehicle operators.
