About the Apostles:
The Apostles of Rule 5 promote and grow the “love & enjoyment of cycling through safety, encouragement and camaraderie”.
Here’s what they do and what they’re about.
April through late September, they have twice weekly club group rides Monday and Thursday Evenings @ 6:00pm in Scituate. Riders meet at the Scituate Harbor Bandstand - Cole Parkway and leave promptly at 6:00pm. Ride is appropriate for beginner, intermediate, expert, and advanced riders.
Work in collaboration with Untold Brewing and the UB Cycling Club and their weekend rides (mostly Sundays) - alternating between Scituate and Plymouth. Current schedule is as follows (please check UB Cycling Facebook Events Page for up-to-date info):

Establish a footprint in the community through charitable services and activism
Teach and practice group riding safety and etiquette for all participants
Work with and encourage new riders to help achieve set goals and reach new cycling milestones
Promote a group that is self-run, welcoming and encouraging, while employing a sense of humor and zest for life.
The Apostles are not a religious group – (they have been asked). [What is Rule 5? Read up HERE kids.] They liken it more to a cycling cult. There’s no hierarchy, no presidents, no boards. There are no fees to join and no annual dues to pay. Be a decent human being and have passion for riding your bike. Enjoy hanging around with other riders (on and off the bike). Have the desire to become a stronger cyclist and the willingness to help those new to the sport become better and more confident on the bike.
