Getting into cycling can feel a bit intimidating at first. Maybe you’re worried about keeping up, choosing the right route, or just figuring out how things work in a group. But guess what? You don’t have to do it alone! Social rides for beginners and especially on Mallorca are the perfect way to ease into the sport, gain confidence, and make some new cycling buddies along the way. Here’s why:

1. No Pressure, Just Fun

Unlike hardcore training rides, tempo rides and other high speed events, most social rides are all about enjoying the journey rather than hammering out watts. You’ll find a relaxed pace where everyone sticks together, so there’s no stress about getting dropped or feeling out of place.

2. Learn from Experienced Riders

Group rides that are specially organized for beginners are the best way to pick up cycling etiquette, improve your bike handling, and get real-world tips from more experienced cyclists. Whether it’s drafting, shifting gears efficiently, or just knowing when to take a coffee break—riding with others is a fast-track to learning.

3. Stay Motivated and Keep Riding

Riding solo can be great, but let’s be honest—sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated. With social rides, you’ve got a built-in crew to keep you accountable and make sure you actually get out there. Plus, everything’s more fun with a group!

4. Discover New Routes and Hotspots

Not sure where to ride on Mallorca? No problem! Social rides often take you to the best roads, hidden gravel gems, and the coolest coffee stops. As you will be mostly riding with locals you’ll explore places you might not have found on your own and expand your go-to riding routes.

5. Meet Like-Minded People

One of the best things about cycling is the community. Social rides connect you with people who share your passion, and before you know it, you’ll have a solid crew for weekend adventures, training sessions, and post-ride café stops.
