Every Monday is Kids Day at MoBo Bicycle Co-op in Northside! 

Kids can come learn to fix their bikes and enjoy bike-related programming all year long. Kids will sign up for a free annual youth membership, which includes *one free used bike a year* to learn to fix and maintain. Members can then come to the co-op year-round to repair their bikes, learn mechanical skills, and help other kids learn to use tools.

**Do it yourself:** MoBo is not a "free bike giveaway," but a space for youth to repair and reuse secondhand bikes with the support of volunteer mechanics. 

Kids Day is first-come-first-served and we generally stop taking new projects an hour before close. If you're coming for a bike, arrive early and expect to spend at least one hour learning to fix it. Come in throughout the night with repairs and projects. Kids Day utilizes 5 workbenches, 2 tool buckets, and at least 3 mechanics.

**Youth Membership:** Sign up in-person or [online](https://www.jotform.com/form/231715389904059) or a free youth membership, which is good for the calendar year. A youth membership always includes one free used bike, along with locks, lights, and adjustable helmets as long as funding allows.

Have questions, plan to bring a group, or want to volunteer? Contact us using the "Email Organizer" link above.

Want to donate to support this program? Share used bikes and parts during open hours and [share funds here](https://www.paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/1720056).

Come join us on Sunday, Feb. 20 @ 2:00 PM for a pedal to Wyoming! Where else but in Ohio can you bike for 15 miles and visit another state? 😉 

During this ride we will also enjoy the neighborhoods of Golf Manor, Roselawn, Hartwell, Carthage, Bond Hill, Norwood... and of course our own beautiful Pleasant Ridge.

Along with low-stress streets and terrain that is predominantly flat to rolling, this particular route will introduce you to some key bike connectors from Pleasant Ridge. Once you know how to ride comfortably to Wyoming, Carthage, or Bond Hill, you can use these as gateways to explore further beyond!

During this event we will stay nestled in the valleys, but on future rides later this summer we will use some of these same roads as a base to venture further out into the hills—to areas like Winton Woods, North College Hill, and maybe even Northside.

Thanks to the support of queencitybike.org, you can navigate this route for free on the Ride with GPS app at any time!

Distance: 15.2 miles

Difficulty: Beginner-friendly. We will regroup as needed.

Terrain: Predominantly flat to rolling. The one notable climb is the gradual ascent up Montgomery Road (in the bike lane) on our way back up to Pleasant Ridge.

Street features: >90% of the ride will be on very low-traffic streets.
The busier areas will be when we ride through the center of Pleasant Ridge (on Montgomery), and when we cruise down Losantiville Ave and South Anthony Wayne. On a Sunday afternoon, however, the traffic volume will be relatively light, so these sections will still be very manageable. 

We will be there to share traffic tips and help you feel comfortable.

Safety Notes:
- Helmets required
- If you have not been vaccinated for COVID-19, please plan to wear a mask during the ride

Weather Notes:
- The forecast for Sunday looks amazing! 
- Mid-50's and sunny!
- In the unlikely event of weather rescheduling, I will post an update on the day of the ride (check the Ride Pleasant Streets GoogleGroup—and also the Facebook event page). No message means the ride is still on!

The Regional Trail & Bikeway Committee convenes trail managers, planners, and supporters to learn from each other and work collaboratively to connect and expand our regional trail network.

Free safety checks and commuter consultations provided by QCB and her friends.  Get your bike rolling safely and learn about more opportunities to ride!
