About Fems & Thems

Fems & Thems is a cycling group for female and non-binary riders (21+) in Denver, CO. We host rides every month and other events throughout the year! 


Our rides are social, about 10mph, 10-20 miles, and we stop for a break. We meet at Cheesman Park unless otherwise noted. Our goal is simply to have fun; come join us!

What to Expect

Pace & Distance

These rides are not no-drop rides. We won’t leave you behind on purpose, but you need to be able to keep up. Our pace is about 10-12mph and we usually ride between 10-20 miles each ride. We stop for mechanical issues (flat tire/broken chain/etc) and we will stop at least once for a 15-20 minute break to rehydrate and have a snack. Again, our main goal is to have fun.
 

Navigation & Communication

Regarding communication, we use verbal indicators and hand signals. We ask that our riders do the same. 

​

  • We shout "left" or "right" when turning.

  • We yell car/bike/walker UP if there is something to look out for in front of us.

  • We yell car/bike/walker BACK if there is something to look out for behind us.

  • We yell "rolling" or "clear" when going through intersections that we roll through.

  • We yell "slowing" or "stopping" when our speed decreases.
