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).

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. 8-12mph avg, conversational pace, less than 20 miles, never too much climbing. No drop, very supportive, refreshments at Wooden Cask Brewery afterward. Meet at 7th and Orchard in Newport near Reser Bicycle Outfitters. Parking is available at the National Band and Tag lot on Seventh or Wooden Cask Brewery on York. Meet at 6:00pm; roll out at 6:15pm, please arrive a little early. Return to Wooden Cask by 8:00pm 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). #ridewhatyoubrought #partypace Hosted by: QCB

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 first and third Tuesday at 6:15pm and roll at 6:30 at the Washington Park gazebo.  Follow the Facebook page (see URL) for details.

Join The Westwood Civic Association on a slow bicycle ride through Westwood. We will ride 2-4 miles which you can plan to take around 30 minutes. All ages are welcome! Meet at Town Hall at 6:30 pm. This event will take place once a month on the 1st Tuesday.


Join us on Saturday, Sept 6 at 2:00 PM for a visit to St Bernard! We'll enjoy sights in the neighborhood, cruise through part of the business district, and stop at a couple historic points of interest. On our way to St Bernard, we'll also enjoy a beautiful and fun descent through North Avondale.

This route will take advantage of improved multi-use paths on the Xavier campus, and introduce you to another "secret" bike connector that minimizes exposure to traffic on Reading Road.

Departure Time: 2:00pm
- Please plan to arrive early so we can all leave in a punctual fashion
- We will meet in front of Community Happens Here
- Ride leaders will be there by 1:45pm to answer any questions

Distance: 25 miles

Difficulty:
- Advanced Beginner and above
- All riders should be comfortable with basic bike-handling and traffic skills
- We will regroup as needed throughout the ride

Terrain:
- This route presents an enjoyable mix of rolling terrain and long, gentle descents; a few climbs on the more challenging side; and a flat stretch in the middle as we pedal along the Ohio River.

Climbs (steeper than +4% grade):
- Schiller Street + Milton Street - Heading up Prospect Hill (~0.5 mi; max 9% grade)
- Slack Street to the top of Prospect Hill! (~0.2 mi; max ~6% grade).
- Montgomery Road as we head back to Pleasant Ridge (~0.6 mi; max ~4.5-5% grade).

Descents (steeper than neg 4% grade):
- Lester Road (~1.2 mi; max neg 4-5% grade) as we head out of Pleasant Ridge
- Delta (~1.4 mi; max neg ~4% grade)
- Gilman + McGregor (~0.5mi; max neg ~5.5% grade)

Traffic stress:
- ~85% of this ride will be on low-traffic streets and multi-use paths

Higher-stress areas:
- The busiest area will be in the urban basin as we make our way from Eggleston to Findlay Market. Although this is full-on urban riding, this tends to be more manageable than one might expect because the multiple stop lights keep traffic speeds down.
- The second busiest area will be riding through the center of Pleasant Ridge (on Montgomery). The multiple traffic lights, the lower traffic volume on weekends, and our presence as a group will all help to reduce the stress in this section.
- The remaining roads that may have moderate traffic volume (Delta, Riverside Drive, Delta, and Montgomery back toward Pleasant Ridge) all have bike lanes in the sections we will be riding on. This makes a big difference in drivers respecting our space and giving us adequate room.

Post-ride:
- Let’s gather at <a href="https://www.ninegiant.com/brewpub" target="_blank">Nine Giant</a> after the ride!
- We should be done with the ride by about 5:00pm.
