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.

PLEASE <a href="https://www.jotform.com/build/251315268957162" target="_blank">PRE-REGISTER HERE</a> 🙌 (50 riders max)
This helps us greatly with planning and quick check-ins!

All participants: Plan to bring your own bike, a helmet, and 12-16oz of water or sports drink. An experienced mechanic will be on hand to provide basic pre-ride safety checks.

You can also register on-site if preferred. The ride is FREE! 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 history and bike joy!

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.
