Karen Cycles group ride — cyclists riding together on a Nairobi road, community cycling in Karen
Community · Group Rides · Karen, Nairobi

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.

Beyond the shop

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.
