Serving the Michiana area since 1974, the club currently has 80 members, including cyclists of all abilities and ages. The MBA sponsors five weekly rides during the riding season and three weekly rides year-round (weather permitting).
The MBA also sponsors the annual Amishland & Lakes bike tour. This classic bike tour is based in LaGrange, Indiana in the center of northern Indiana Amish country. There are wide open spaces, clean country air, and friendly people. Amishland and Lakes is famous for great SAG food (watermelons, peaches, blueberries, bananas, and freshly baked cookies). The routes offer smooth, quiet roads, where buggies are numerous and cars are few. There are Amish bakeries, restaurants, and homemade ice cream parlors along the route for riders who want to "get a taste" of the local flavor.
