Bike the Bridge Program
Sponsored by the Bicycle Shoppe

Charleston has lots of bridges!

Let's ride the "big one" over the Cooper River and on over to the Pitt Street bridge. Come see the sights along old town Mount Pleasant. Our halfway mark is punctuated with beautiful views of the harbor and intracoastal waterway. 16 miles for the round trip.

Let's meet outside of the Johnson Center gym on George Street at 3:30 p.m. on the days listed below. The rides are designed to be leisurely but there will be chances for you to ride hard as well. We should be back at the gym by 5:30 p.m.

Dates for Rides

Meet at the Gym at 3:30 p.m. We leave at 3:45 p.m. Rides finish at or before 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, September 2
Thursday, September 24
Friday, October 2
Wednesday, October 21

Equipment Needed

Bring your own bike. If you can't borrow a bike from a friend, call our office at least a day ahead of time and we can get you a loaner bike for the ride. Only a few are available so reserve yours early.

Wearing a helmet is strongly recommended. CRS will not be able to provide helmets. Bring a water bottle or money to buy a drink from a convenience store along the route.

Our Sponsor

We wish to thank our sponsor The Bicycle Shoppe who graciously agreed to provide a limited number of bikes at no charge. Located just around the corner from the Johnson Gym, The Bicycle Shoppe is too close to not stop in for a quick visit. While you are there make sure to walk through The Outdoor Shoppe which is another area they excel in.
