March events have been canceled. Hope to see you later this spring! Ride Pleasant Streets meets on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of every month at Community Happens Here in Pleasant Ridge. We gather at 1:45 p.m.; share a route overview and safety talk at 2:00 p.m.; and wheels are rolling by 2:05 p.m. Riders from all over the metro area are welcome! These are welcoming rides with an emphasis on group ride etiquette, bike skill development, community building, and neighborhood exploration. The "1st Saturday Short" rides are <15 miles, and the "3rd Saturday Long" rides are generally 15-25 miles. Routes are varied each month. They are designed to take advantage of low-stress streets, bike lanes, and shared-use paths as much as possible. Route details are shared in advance (~2-5 days) so you can decide if the ride will be a good fit for your fitness and experience level.

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 Cincinnati Off-Road Alliance (CORA) on March 8, 2025 at MadTree Brewing to check out nearly 70 diverse cycling and adventure destination exhibitors at the Second Annual CORA Bike & Trail Expo!
 
Bringing together a vast community of cyclists, hikers, runners, campers and other outdoor adventure seekers, this Expo has a little something for everyone. Mark your calendar now, and look forward to a fun, FREE, family friendly show just in time for the arrival of warmer weather! 

In celebration of another year looking after Cincinnati’s stairways and alleys, and envisioning their role as part of a safer walking network, we’ll begin in Walnut Hills to experience gritty alleys en route to the newly rechristened Section Alley Steps (City Steps at Liberty Hill). We’ll finish off at Binski's Bar in Camp Washington with a refreshing beverage. Thank you so much for the support over the years! 

Common question will be: how do I get back? The route is strategically located near Metro Route 31. So, please plan accordingly. The walk to bus stop is 10 minutes while the walk back from the bus stop to the cafe (origin) is 1 minute!

Please reach out with any questions!

Do you love getting outside on two wheels, enjoying the breeze of the open trail? Do you like the community vibe of an inclusive, all-levels ride? And are you interested in making that casual ride even more fun with tasty stops at local breweries?

If you answered yes to any of these, you should definitely join us at Arrow Adventure on March 15th to learn more about our new Bikes & Brews series. Bikes and Brews is a quarterly ride series, hosted by the Arrowleaf Co and Arrow Adventure, exploring regional bike trails, supporting local business and enjoying tasty brews. 

The kickoff party will include a session on group ride etiquette with Cincinnati Cycle Club, information on the Bikes & Brews ride series, meeting other interested riders, and of course, delish local craft brews.

WHAT BIKES & BREWS IS: 

* A ride for all levels - you can go slow (especially after food and beers), or you can go fast. 

* Four mapped rides, mostly on local trails, that pass through various communities and breweries. 

* Happy hour prices and specials at participating locations, and a year-end party with raffle prizes. 

* An inclusive and welcoming community to anyone who loves to ride with cool peeps.

* Rides that you can participate in singularly, or a series that you can register for to get special Bikes & Brews Club Merch!

WHAT BIKES & BREWS ISN'T: 

* Only for experienced cyclists - if you can ride, you can join us. We'll have riders at all levels, and no one will be left behind.

* A drinking party ( we have time for one or two beers at each brewery, and drinking beer is NOT required to be part of the crew!) 

* About making ANYONE feel that they aren't welcome to join.
