Ride Pleasant Streets - 1st Saturday Short Edition

Come help build momentum for a new trail connection along the Mill Creek!

**Background**
The Mill Creek Greenway has long been a great public amenity for the community, serving as a means of recreation as well as a transportation option for those walking, biking and using accessibility/mobility devices. Like many of Cincinnati's multi use paths, it has seen its fair share of challenges. We are focusing on the small section in the southern part of Northside behind the building currently occupied by Deuss Enterprises. During design, it was decided to route the trail onto the sidewalk in front of the building, past the parking lot and right turn slip lane to the other side of the building where paved trail resumes behind a used auto lot. This disconnection results in the the remainder of this trail being unmaintained and underutilized, if users are even aware of it at all. During the I 74 ramp reconstruction, this section was cordoned off entirely, leaving it to become overgrown and practically unusable.

**Our Plan**
This area, including the back section of Deuss's fenced in lot is primarily owned by the Mill Creek Conservancy District, a government org. that has recently been getting back up and running. Thus, much of the fenced in area is actually an encroachment on MVCD property. After discussions with the new director, the MVCD Board has voted to allow volunteers on their property behind the Deuss fence for purposes of creating a usable walking/rolling path to provide a safer connection in the short term. The overarching goal is for MVCD to seek legal counsel to have the Deuss fence relocated, allowing more space (it's pretty tight back against the berm) for a fully paved seamless connection. We will be cutting back brush, weeds, honeysuckle, moving rocks, and removing trash to make this area passable in the meantime. 

**Get Involved**
If you're interested in improving this area of the Greenway, please contact myself (David Roland) at pedestriansafety@northsidecouncil.com. We will meet on Elmore Court next to Deuss and KBS Auto Sales on September 5, 2026 at 10am and work until 1pm.

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).

When: 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month Starting 3/25/2026 through. October.
- What time: 6PM MainStrasse Village at Goose Girl Fountain (Main and 6th Streets).
- Leaving a few minutes after 6.
- How long? 7-10 Miles—we’ll take it easy on the hills.
- Time required: About 1.75 Hours
Who: You and whoever you invite? It's better to ride together.
We’ll have people there a lil' early to do a quick safety check and pump up tires should you need. Even better, visit the Covington Farmer's Market and have a free bike inspection there (ProTip).
Other details:
- Helmets strongly suggested
- We’ll be riding in a group—not experienced in this, no problem. Just follow directions that we’ll share before the ride.
- Parking (paid) is available in the MainStrasse Village Parking lot.
- Free Parking is available under the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge.
The goals of our rides are simple:

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.

**Open Shop** is a time for you to use MoBo’s bike shop space to learn & work on your own bike.

This Open Shop is specifically for people who identify as **women, trans, femme, and non-binary**. Please respect the integrity of this space and refer to MoBo’s [website](https://villagegreenfoundation.org/mobo-faq/) for workshops and opportunities for other community members.

If your bike needs work, we’ll be there to help you. If you’d like to learn basic skills but don’t have a bike or don’t need yours tuned up, come anyway and we’ll fix you up with a kid’s bike or pair you with someone else.

We’ll help folks on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are 5 bike stands and at least 2 trained volunteer mechanics. Mechanics will help guide and teach you, but not do the work for you! Usually 10-20 people show up. Doors open at 6pm.

**MoBo has most of the tools necessary to work on basic bike repairs and tune-ups. We are all volunteers and will do our best to show you how to get your bike safely up and running but may not have the time to work on every problem. If your bike needs more substantial work, we will help diagnose, but will refer you to a local shop for repair.**

MoBo Bicycle Co-op is a project of the Village Green Foundation located at [1415 Knowlton St](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//MoBo+Bicycle+CoOp+%2F+Village+Green+Community+Gardens,+1415+Knowlton+St,+Cincinnati,+OH+45223/@39.1612085,-84.5372672,644m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m9!4m8!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x8841b48fd751df4b:0x87748662ffe7d5c5!2m2!1d-84.5346738!2d39.161249!3e1?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDgyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) in Northside.

Free street and bike parking available, accessible by Metro routes/from downtown, Metro Buses #16, #17, #19, #20, and #27 stop conveniently close to the co-op. The nearest Red Bike stations are at the Transit Center and on Vandalia Point.

Women, Trans, Femme, Non-Binary Open Shop

Come meet new friends and other families who like to bike! We’ll ride together from Bramble Park (Madisonville) to Isabella Hopkins Park (Mariemont) where we’ll rest, play, & hang out then ride back. 

Total distance is ~3.5-4.5 miles. Most of [the route](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/57113148?privacy_code=2y17B7DFaDePLMmW1qN1jiQlBAdoJhAi) is on bike paths, with a few roads and crossings along the way. We’ll do our best to stick together, but parents are responsible for their little riders. Bike trailers are welcome! Come ready to ride, explore, and have fun!

Helmets required and parents/guardians required. Water and snacks encouraged. All ages welcome!
