An inclusive group ride for folks and bikes of all kinds! We'll roll around the urban basin with routes that focus on calm streets, local knowledge, and building confident ridership.
10-12mph avg, conversational pace, less than 20 miles, never too much climbing.

Meet at Reser Bicycle (in the National Band and Tag lot across from Reser on 7th)
Roll out at 6:15pm, please arrive a little early.

What to bring: yourself, your bike, some water, blinkie lights, your helmet, and maybe a spare tube for your ride (we'll have a mechanic who can help in the event of needed repairs).

The Urban Basin Bicycle Club is for those bicyclists interested in riding in the Urban Basin, such as downtown, OTR, Northern Kentucky and the Mill Creek Valley, exploring sights and scenery along the way. 

Some rides are themed (e.g. breweries, art deco etc.) and others are just rambling. Then we will rotate among various bars for a “debrief.” Sound good? 

Invite anyone and everyone. We meet every Tuesday night at 6:30 pm at the Washington Park gazebo. Follow the Facebook page for details.

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).

Join us for a party-pace group bike ride to participate in Ales For Trails and explore sections of the CROWN trail network. Grab your friends and meet us in the Sawyer Point parking lot next to the Cincinnati approach of the Purple People Bridge at the Red Bike station.

We’ll ride north stopping at Woodburn Brewing, Sam Adams Cincinnati Taproom, Taft's Ale House then enjoy our final brew in Northern Kentucky at Wooden Cask Brewing Company before returning to our starting location in the Sawyer Point parking lot.

Join us for our Green Drinks happy hour at Braxton Brewing in Covington, KY to celebrate the launch of the Green Umbrella Regional Climate Collaborative!

Meet at 4:30 pm for a tour with the City of Covington of some climate resilience projects in Covington, KY (meet at Braxton Brewing). We'll be exploring projects related to green infrastructure, heat, flooding, waste, and more as we share how local governments and community members can make a difference in their cities.

Then celebrate with drinks and networking at 5:30 pm. Braxton Brewing will donate $1 from each Garage beer sold between 5:30-7:00 pm. We'll be up on the rooftop patio (weather permitting) with an indoor backup plan.

Ride Pleasant Streets - Sunday Long Edition

At our next Regional Trail & Bikeway Committee meeting, we'll feature local and national players who are working to cultivate the next generation of cyclists. Rick Holt, Researcher/Co-Founder at Early Childhood Mobility Coalition, will introduce the concept of "traffic gardens," which has successfully integrated bike riding into the second grade curriculum in Washington D.C.  We'll compare this national model to initiatives happening locally, like "bike rodeos" in Anderson Township and MoBo Bicycle Co-op's Kids Day, a year-round education program for kids under the age of 16.
