Hi community!

I recently learned to ride a bike and I am hooked. I am looking for clubs/groups/individuals with whom to ride. I live in Uptown and frequently ride the lakepath. I'd like to get on the roads a little more but need to practice and build some confidence. Would be great to ride with more experienced riders.

Are there group rides around Chicago that are beginner friendly and accessible for someone without a car? I am 31 and pretty fit but the avg speeds on some of the group rides seem a little higher than I can hit on my flat bar commuter bike.
