🚴 ♀️ Bikes, Buddies & Good Vibes: Ride with Kicking Asphalt!
Hilton Head Island isn’t just a pretty place to cruise around—it’s officially one of the top 25 bike-friendly communities in the U.S., and one of only two on the entire East Coast to earn Gold-Level status from the League of American Bicyclists. Not bad for a laid-back island town!
Whether someone is a hardcore cyclist who eats hills for breakfast, is working on fitness goals, or simply enjoys a casual cruise through parks, marshes, and neighborhoods with the breeze in their face—there’s a group that fits the vibe.
Meet the Crew: Kicking Asphalt Bicycle Club
Founded back in 2006, the Kicking Asphalt Bicycle Club (KABC) has grown into a lively, fun-loving community with over 250 members. Based in Southern Beaufort County, this nonprofit bicycle touring club is open to cycling enthusiasts of all experience levels.
KABC is all about safe, social rides and good times—on and off the bike. Members explore Hilton Head and beyond, build lasting friendships, and swap tips and stories from the saddle. Helmets are always required, bright colors are encouraged, and water bottles are highly recommended!!
Ride Styles for Every Cyclist
With six different ride groups based on pace and distance, KABC offers something for everyone—from laid-back casual cruisers to speedy spinners. Rides span Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort, Ridgeland, and even dip into nearby Georgia. Details about each group can be found on the club’s Ride Information page (see link below).
