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 on Saturday, June 6 @ **10:00 AM** as we pedal in joyful celebration of <a href="https://www.pleasantridge.org/pride" target="_blank">PR Pride weekend</a> and our beloved Pleasant Ridge neighborhood! **(Please note the earlier start time! This will be our summertime schedule until the weather cools down again in the fall.)**

We'll stay close to home and ramble along the ridgetop, exploring peaceful and beautiful streets in Pleasant Ridge, as well as those nearby in Kennedy Heights, Silverton, and Golf Manor.

**To help us with planning and quick check-ins, please <a href="https://form.jotform.com/230406444221140" target="_blank">PRE-REGISTER HERE</a>** 🙌

*You can also register on-site if preferred. The ride is FREE! At Queen City Bike, creating a caring community is a core value. Your registration enables us to reach you and your important people if needed, and also provide you with $10K of supplemental medical insurance. We've got you covered so you can focus on the bike joy!*

**Departure Time: 10:00am** *(← Please note the earlier start time!)*
- 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 9:45am to answer any questions

**Distance: 15 miles**

**Difficulty:**
- **Mid-level Beginners and above**
- All riders should be comfortable with basic bike-handling and traffic skills
- Route is not suitable for young children, but may be a good match for proficient teenagers (per discretion of parents)
- We will regroup as needed throughout the ride

**Terrain:**
- Predominantly flat to rolling

*Climbs (steeper than +4% grade):*
- Tulane/Montgomery (~0.3 mi; max ~4.5% grade)
- Pandora (~0.3 mi; max ~4% grade)

*Descents (steeper than neg 4% grade):*
- Robison (~0.3 mi; max neg 5.5% grade)

**Traffic stress:**
- >90% of this ride will be on low-traffic streets

*Higher-stress areas:*
- This route is almost entirely on quiet streets (or streets with bike lanes). HOWEVER, there will be three situations where we will turn right onto a busier non-bike-lane street (Ridge or Losantiville), roll downhill for half a block, and then turn left. We will be able to choose our moment to turn onto the busier street, we will be carrying good speed, and we will take the lane to control traffic behind us. Taken together, this provides for a manageable situation, but I do want to mention just so everyone is aware of this aspect of the route.

**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 11:45am.

- No message means the ride is still on!

- Community Happens Here asks that if at all possible, we do NOT use their parking lot during our events.
- Abundant FREE parking is located at the Pleasant Ridge Community Parking Lot, behind the Walgreens at 6204 Montgomery Road. This is ONE block from Community Happens Here.

- Please plan to arrive early so we can all leave in a punctual fashion
- We will meet in front of Community Happens Here

**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:**
- The route is a mix of flat and rolling, with two notable climbs and a long, gentle descent down Camargo.

*Climbs (steeper than +4% grade):*
- Delta (~1.4 mi; max ~4% grade)
- Lester Avenue (~1 mi; max 4-5% grade)—on our way back to Pleasant Ridge

**Traffic stress:**
- ~80% of this ride will be on low-traffic streets and multi-use paths

*Higher-stress areas:*

- The second busiest area will be rolling down Wooster Pike toward the Little Miami Trailhead. We will take the lane, stay alert, and maintain good speed due to the downhill gradient. The lower, flat portion of Wooster Pike includes a bike lane.
