At A Bike Thing, riding isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we live.
Our Rides & Tours programme brings our community together for real-world adventures across the UK, Europe, and the USA. Whether you’re looking for bucket-list scenery, technical training, or unforgettable social riding with like-minded people, this is where your next journey begins.
Big Bend Texas ExpeditionIn partnership with Austin Moto Adventures, Steve Abel (Founder of A Bike Thing) and Tom (Technical Installation Lead) travelled to Texas to officially launch our first A Bike Thing Installation Centre in the USA at Whiskey & Wrenches.
But we didn’t stop there.
From 18–22 February 2026, we invited a small group of A Bike Thing riders to join us on an unforgettable adventure ride through Big Bend National Park.
What followed was days of incredible riding, epic scenery, great food, and evenings spent sharing stories with fellow riders from across the ABT community.
Over the coming weeks we’ll be releasing a series of YouTube videos documenting the trip — from arriving in Texas and opening the installation centre, to the incredible riding across Big Bend.
Check back soon as new videos are added.
