To help us with planning and quick check-ins, please <a href="https://form.jotform.com/252048012384147" target="_blank">PRE-REGISTER HERE</a> 🙌

Guided rides will explore historic neighborhoods, landmarks, and lesser-known architectural treasures — all by bike. Whether you’re a preservation enthusiast, a casual cyclist, or someone looking to see the city through a new lens.

For October's ride, we'll visit sites along the Ohio River in celebration of the River Roots Festival. Due to the festival, parking around the waterfront may be limited, and participants are encouraged to bike to the ride if possible. Parking may be available ½ mile away at the International Friendship Park. Overall ride length will be about 6 miles.

These rides are free, open to the public, and designed to be accessible to a range of cycling abilities. So dust off your bike, invite a friend, and join us for a ride that brings Cincinnati’s stories to life — one pedal stroke at a time.

Pedals & Preservation - Fall Edition - October Ride

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