Memphis's Oldest and Most Active Cycling Club
If you've ever rolled up to a group ride in Memphis and been surprised by how friendly and organized it was, there's a good chance the Memphis Hightailers Bicycle Club had something to do with it. Founded decades ago, the Hightailers are the anchor of Memphis's road cycling community — a club defined by inclusivity, reliability, and an infectious love for cycling.
Rides for Everyone
What sets the Hightailers apart is their genuine commitment to all skill levels. Their weekend rides are organized by pace group, from gentle 12mph social rides to spirited 20mph+ fast groups. No matter where you fall on the cycling spectrum, there's a Hightailers ride with your name on it.
The Social Side
The Hightailers aren't just a cycling organization — they're a social community. Post-ride coffee stops, club events, and organized cycling tours create connections that go well beyond the bike. Many Memphis cyclists credit the Hightailers with turning them from occasional riders into committed cycling enthusiasts.
How to Join
Membership is open to all cyclists in the Memphis area. The club maintains a website with ride schedules, routes, and membership information. First-time participants are welcome to join a ride before committing to membership — just show up, introduce yourself, and pedal.
