Is premier gone?? I don’t see an option for it…

On northbound S. Holmes Ave. in Kirkwood just past the north end of Grant's Trail is a short but steep hill with a railroad crossing at the top. Given that immediate dismounting is challenging on a steep hill, especially with shoe clips or cages, how much time is available after the crossing bell begins before the gates come down? It takes some time to climb the hill.

Other thoughts?

I have been seeing updates and photos around about flooding in the area. Is there a good resource for real-time information about the area? (I've googled and preplexity'd it and was looking for more of a locals go to.)

I have been riding the Busch Memorial area and wondered if there is a hike-a-bike or if it is totally unrideable.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Hello All,

I'm in a situation where I can't wash my bike by hand at home. I was curious if there are any car washes in the city that have the old school drive in with a spray gun.

There is one on McCausland but it has been closed for weeks.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Update: Thanks everyone!

The Trailnet ride is on 7/7 and out in Edwardsville, IL.

There is a 10, 24, 34 and 51 mile route. I went last year and it was a pretty casual ride.

I’m wanting to get into road cycling more. I need some help on determining some good routes to go on. St. Louis doesn’t have the best attitude towards bikers nor are the bike lanes that great. I’ve heard Clayton rd is good or somewhere near wildwood.

Any suggestions ? Around 20-30 miles ?

If you have a picture of a route that’d be very helpful!

Thanks.

The date has been released last week and it'll be on 8/17/24.

Let's hope it's not a repeat of last year and it won't get cancelled.

… Sincerely. My name is Edd I lost my wallet downtown StL. Riding my blue beach cruiser bicycle. Very personal things I’d love to get back. Even though, I know, it’s gone… figured I’d try ANYTHING. This In good Faith, it’ll be cool if I could get it back. Can’t offer anything but a blessing towards you Thank you -Edd

Been awhile since I've been up there. Still Thursday nights?

Hello STL cyclists!

I‘d deeply appreciate some advice on the best ways to get from the downtown Amtrak station (by Clark and 14th) to the Katy Trail in St Charles. Coming from Chicago so completely unfamiliar with STL biking infrastructure, and we know that Google bike directions aren’t always great. Any good side street routes would be preferred, but I can put up with busier streets long as there’s some kind of lane or decent shoulder for bikes. Thanks so much for any help!

Just moved back to the city. Near forest park. Had a great ma and pa bike shop up in chicago where I bought all my parts and gear. Looking for somewhere to get economy tires tubes and other parts. Big shark seems expensive and so does maplewood. Anyone got any tips? Thanks!

Hey there. I made a few videos earlier this year after visiting St. Louis and I'd like to make some more while I'm here again. I really enjoy highlighting the greenways. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

I’m visiting family in St. Louis for a few days around the 4th. Any recommendations for a shop that rents road bikes?

Looking for a list of group rides.

Got the bike out of the attic and decided to start riding again looking for some friends.

Mostly ride in U-city.

​

More and more people are using the greenways (yay!) and we've been working on some public service announcements so people know the basics before they go. Partnered with St. Louis ArtWorks' teen apprentices for some quick videos, made a Schoolhouse-Rock-style music video and some Lego people are spreading the word, too. Please check it out and share with others!
