Greater Milwaukee Recumbent Bike Club (GMRBC)

As the name implies, the GMRBC is a recumbent bike club located in Milwaukee, WI. Recumbent cyclists tend to be a social group and we are no exception. Our rides are also very casual and sometimes even include a food stop on the way.

Membership is free but donations are always welcome to help pay for our annual recumbent rally and the printing of our brochures. Members are encouraged to sign up on the GMRBC Yahoo! mailing list but anyone is welcome to show up regardless.

We have monthly rides from April through October in the counties surrounding Milwaukee. Over the last couple of years, the group's average speed for the rides has been 10-11MPH and we make it a point to never leave anyone behind.

If you think you might be interested in joining the club, please sign up on our Yahoo! group for the latest ride information and to say 'hi'.

Here is the latest brochure!

2nd Annual Recumbent Rally

Attendance is free but we request that you sign up in advance: 2nd annual GMRBC Recumbent Rally Registration
Wheel and Sprocket is kind enough to sponsor us again this year so goto the Hales Corners store, thank Harry and buy a GMRBC flag for the rally!
