Pedal together.
Karen Cycles is the hub for Nairobi's cycling community — weekly group rides, workshops, and a group of riders who'd rather be on the road than anywhere else.
We race too.
From the GRC Full Gas Series to local criteriums, Karen Cycles riders roll up to the start line across Nairobi — and jacarandas aren't the only thing in bloom when we do.
More than a bike shop
Karen Cycles is more than a place to buy a bike — it is where Nairobi's riding community meets. Our weekly group rides roll out from the shop, taking in routes through Karen, the Ngong Hills, and the city. New riders are always welcome, and the pace is set by whoever shows up — beginners, commuters, and seasoned road warriors alike.
From maintenance workshops to charity rides, we'd rather pedal together than work alone.
Built around the people who ride

On the race circuit
Karen Cycles is active on the race circuit — not just the weekend leisure ride. Our community includes competitive cyclists who take on events across Nairobi and Kenya, and we back them at the shop and on the road.
