Music City Dope Pedalers

Music City Dope Pedalers is one of the hottest, new cycling groups in Nashville and was selected as one of the best fitness groups for the Urbaanite. Started by Nate McDowell a.k.a Nate the Great of Brassville, he decided Nashville needed a bike community that was approachable and fun, so he started bringing together people each week to get out, clear your mind and stay active. During the pandemic, there was a tremendous increase in people biking, which even created an actual bike shortage at one point. Music City Dope Pedalers is hoping to give a consistent group ride experience to new and seasoned bike riders and bring people together in the spirit of staying healthy while biking. His overall goal is to make biking super approachable and fun.
