Pedals & Preservation - Fall Edition - October Ride

Queen City Bike and Cincinnati Preservation Association are teaming up to offer this fall series of rides. Join us for the joy of bikes plus up-close views of local history! Second Thursday of October Meet at 5:45 PM / Ride departs at 6:15 PM and finishes by 7:30 PM *We will try to end before sunset at 7:09 PM, but bringing bike lights is recommended. To help us with planning and quick check-ins, please PRE-REGISTER HERE 🙌 Guided rides will explore historic neighborhoods, landmarks, and lesser-known architectural treasures — all by bike. Whether you’re a preservation enthusiast, a casual cyclist, or someone looking to see the city through a new lens. For October's ride, we'll visit sites along the Ohio River in celebration of the River Roots Festival. Due to the festival, parking around the waterfront may be limited, and participants are encouraged to bike to the ride if possible. Parking may be available ½ mile away at the International Friendship Park. Overall ride length will be about 6 miles. These rides are free, open to the public, and designed to be accessible to a range of cycling abilities. So dust off your bike, invite a friend, and join us for a ride that brings Cincinnati’s stories to life — one pedal stroke at a time.
