What is KMC BIKING?
KMC Biking is Knoxville Movement Collective’s cycling community.
We bring riders together through road, mountain, and recreational rides across Knoxville, creating space for every level to move, connect, and explore the city on two wheels.
Each ride is about growth, connection, and discovering how fun it is to move together.

How we ride
-
Road Cycling
KMC road rides are built for connection and consistency. Whether you’re clipping in for your first group ride or training for your next big race, we offer multiple pace groups so every rider can find their rhythm, build confidence, and explore Knoxville’s best roads together with a supportive and social crew that keeps every mile fun.

Mountain Biking
For riders who love dirt, challenge, and good Knoxville trails, KMC mountain biking is all about exploring new routes and enjoying the ride together. From beginner-friendly loops to tougher climbs, every ride brings a mix of adventure, teamwork, and the kind of fun that keeps you coming back for more miles, more trails, and more good times.

Recreational Riding
Sometimes simple is best. KMC Rec Rides are made for anyone who wants to get outside, move a little, and see Knoxville from a new perspective. Most rides follow the city’s scenic greenways, offering a safe, social, and beautiful way to explore while meeting new people. No pace goals, no pressure — just good company, easy miles, and time to take in the view.
“I’ve been road cycling since I was a kid on a cycling team in Atlanta, and it’s still one of my favorite ways to move. It’s a huge part of my triathlon training, but KMC Biking has pushed me to try something new: mountain biking!! It’s improving my fitness, challenging me in new ways, and honestly, it’s just so fun.”
— Ashley Johnston, Founder
