We are the St. Louis Urbanists!
We’re a grassroots advocacy group working to create safer and more effective infrastructure for pedestrians, bicycle users, transit riders, and even car drivers in the St. Louis region. We promote better urban design through community-building, education, political advocacy, and direct action.

Join BusBikeBrunch for a friendly brunch and discussion about how we can make St. Louis a more livable city. Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, or take public transit to the event.
BusBikeBrunch is scheduled for the first Sunday of every month, usually around noon, and is paired with our Social Bike Rides.
Space for these events are sometimes limited, please RSVP on Meetup so we can make a large enough reservation at the restaurant.

A casual (~1 hour), bike ride open to riders of all abilities. Our focus is on socializing with other urbanists as we explore different bike trails in the St. Louis region.
Social Bike Rides are scheduled for the first Sunday of each month, usually around 10:30am, and are generally followed by a BusBikeBrunch event.
Monthly Meetings
On the second Thursday of each month from 6-7:30pm, we get together for a general meeting to discuss updates, plan our next goals, and socialize with other members. Everyone is free to join for these meetings. We have both in-person and online options for joining.
