Cycling is about more than just speed and competition—it’s also about the relationships built on two wheels. That’s the philosophy behind Sanetti’s Local Rides and Coffee Meetups, a community initiative designed to bring cyclists together for regular, casual rides followed by post-ride coffee and conversation. These events have quickly become a favorite among riders, offering a welcoming, social atmosphere where cyclists can connect, share their passion for the sport, and create lasting friendships.
Cycling for Fun and Friendship
Sanetti’s Local Rides are all about enjoying the ride, with a focus on bringing cyclists of all levels together in a relaxed, supportive environment. Held in various cities around the world, these rides are designed to be inclusive, with route options for every ability level—from casual riders to those looking to stretch their legs with a longer, more challenging ride.
Each ride typically lasts between 30 and 60 kilometers, with an easy pace that encourages conversation and interaction. The goal isn’t to race to the finish line, but to enjoy the journey together. Riders are grouped based on their preferred pace, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to ride at a comfortable speed while still feeling part of the larger Sanetti community.
These local rides have become a hub for riders to meet new friends, explore new routes, and connect with their local cycling scene. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just getting started, Sanetti’s Local Rides offer the perfect opportunity to join a welcoming group of like-minded individuals.
Post-Ride Coffee: A Tradition of Connection
After each ride, participants gather at a local café for a post-ride coffee meetup, a tradition that has become an integral part of the Sanetti community. This casual, social setting is where the magic happens—riders swap stories from the road, discuss their favorite routes, and share tips on everything from training to gear.
Sanetti pro riders, including Annie Solheim and Julien Girard, often join the coffee meetups when they’re in town, offering participants the chance to chat with some of the sport’s elite riders in a relaxed, informal setting. The pros enjoy these meetups just as much as the community, appreciating the opportunity to connect with the people who support them throughout the season.
For many riders, the post-ride coffee is where lasting connections are made. Riders who met on the bike often form friendships that extend beyond the rides themselves, leading to the creation of smaller cycling groups, weekend adventures, and training partnerships.
A Growing Global Community
What started as a few small local gatherings has now grown into a global network of Sanetti Local Rides and Coffee Meetups, with regular events taking place in cities like London, Sydney, New York, and Berlin. Each event is organized by passionate local riders who help guide the group along scenic routes and ensure that everyone feels included.
In Berlin, the rides often take cyclists through the city’s historic streets before ending at a cozy café by the river. In Sydney, the local rides feature stunning coastal views, while the New York City group navigates the urban landscape, offering riders a unique way to experience the city’s energy and iconic landmarks.
Sanetti’s commitment to supporting these local communities extends to providing route planning and safety tips to ensure each ride is well-organized and enjoyable. The goal is to make every participant feel part of something special, no matter where they’re riding.
Inclusivity and Support for All Riders
The inclusivity of the Sanetti Local Rides is a core value of the initiative. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cyclist, these rides are structured to ensure everyone can participate without feeling pressured to keep up or push beyond their comfort zone.
Each group has a designated ride leader, often a more experienced rider who ensures the group stays together and navigates the route safely. These leaders also offer encouragement and advice to newer cyclists, helping them feel confident and supported throughout the ride.
For those looking to improve their skills, the rides provide a great opportunity to learn from more experienced riders in a laid-back setting. Conversations about gear choices, riding techniques, and even nutrition often emerge naturally over coffee, creating a space for shared learning and growth.
Building a Stronger Cycling Community
Sanetti’s Local Rides and Coffee Meetups are more than just an event—they’re part of a broader effort to strengthen the cycling community at the grassroots level. By creating spaces where cyclists can come together and enjoy their sport in a social, inclusive way, Sanetti is fostering connections that extend beyond the road.
These meetups are not only about building friendships but also about creating a support network for cyclists. Whether riders are looking for advice on training, finding new riding partners, or just sharing their love for cycling, the Sanetti community provides a welcoming environment where everyone can contribute and benefit from the collective experience.
Looking Ahead: More Rides, More Connections
Sanetti’s Local Rides and Coffee Meetups are set to expand even further in the coming months, with new events planned in Paris, Tokyo, and Cape Town. As these gatherings grow, Sanetti’s mission remains the same: to bring cyclists together in a fun, supportive environment where they can connect, learn, and share their love for the sport.
With each new ride, the Sanetti community continues to grow, creating lasting bonds and inspiring more people to get out on the bike.
