Hey y'all, I recently moved to Cincinnati and have a young child. I've loved going on social bike rides in other cities that I've been in to meet folks, but it's a little bit harder to make those right now. I was curious if anyone knows of any family/kid friendly group rides here?
I was thinking again today about how I wished we had a bicycle swap meet here in Cincy when it dawned on me that if we could get MOBO on board and do it as a fundraiser, that might just just work. Would love to gauge interest here and discuss ideas in general.
The fourth annual Tour de CROWN (Cincinnati Riding or Walking Network) is coming up on August 29! If you’ve been curious about Cincinnati’s growing trail network, it’s a pretty fun way to explore it.
There are 34, 17.5, and 8.5 mile options, all starting and ending at Fifty West.

I’m new-ish to Cincy and yesterday I met a group of folks on a group ride with the Major Taylor Cincinnati Cycling Club. I wasn’t aware of them before. Why are there two Cincinnati Cycling Clubs. Was there drama?
this spot is quite a ways away from my starting ride location so i’ve not been able to explore too much but is there an easy/low stress way to go from here to the ludlow connection for riverside commons? it seems like the path just ends
Hello everyone, new here. My current bike is way too small (I'm 6'5") and I've had it since like 2010 when I was a kid. Plan on getting a new bike, and figured I'd go electric.
I've narrowed it down to the Aventon level 4 rec, or the Segway Xafari. Not really a ton on the interwebs about either of these except sponsored YouTube reviews. Has anyone used either of these?
I spoke to the owner down at Garage OTR and he said that he has been selling a "ton" of the Xafaris, so I figured I might find some opinions about it here.
In my mind the Aventon is the practical option (company's been making bikes longer and has better support network), but the Segway seems like the more fun option.
"From August 17-28, contractors will be paving the Lunken Trail as well as the trailhead parking lot. During construction, visitors should expect temporary trail closures and reroutes along portions of the trail. Clearly marked detours will be in place to help safely guide trail users through the area while work is underway."
According to TriStateTrails this will also include widening the trail.
If you have a black Audi suv with the Xavier plate “MAO 5”, the reason that I was riding in the travel lane at the intersection of Madison and Observatory is because the bike lane ends there. The right lane, as you saw when you finally stopped pressing on the horn and tried to pass on the right, is for parking, and so there are parked cars there. Then I assume you figured out a change in plan and made an illegal right on red across two lanes of traffic to turn down Erie. I know at your age these things are confusing. Good luck out there, lady.
Hi everyone, traveling into Cincinnati for the weekend. I only have space to bring one bike. My original plan was to bring the gravel bike and check out the mtn bike trails in KY and ride the road to and from where I’m staying. Given the recent rain I’m assuming the trails at Devou park won’t be rideable. Is there any good gravel or should I bring the road bike? Leaving in the next few hours thanks!

Former Cincinnatian but wasn't really into riding before I left.
I'm visiting August 21-26 this month. I plan on trying to do TT CX and Tuesday Night Worlds.
Does TTCX have tire restrictions? Wasn't planning on bringing any cx size tires.
Are there any morning weekend group rides that don't require joining the unnamed club to ride with?
Road or gravel is preferred.
This moron was driving one of these souped-up, relatively cheap bikes ACROSS THE BRENT SPENCE at rush hour.
He couldn’t get over 35, was holding a phone fully in his left had, all in black, no helmet, etc etc.
What an idiot.
BUT, worst case here, he, alone, gets killed.
The same push-button e-bikers who seem to have just decorative pedals on their bikes, are flying on walking paths downtown sidewalks, and at the parks.
A regular biker in Cincy, I’ve seen them everywhere lately compared to the past.
Last week, I saw two teenagers using the push button only, jumping to airborn at Friendship park OVER THE FREEKING HANDS OF THE LAND SCULPTURE. Wrecking the manicured grass and making ruts in the sculpture.
These guys are going up to 30 on sidewalks meant for strolling. It’s ridiculously dangerous the way they are driving these motorcycles, disguised as bikes.
It’s going to give us responsible bicyclists and e-bikers all a bad name. And hopefully not get real e-bikes banned down there.
I have no idea how to go about nipping this, while keeping must-peddle bike classes the same as regular bikes.
These are just idiots on motorcycles riding on sidewalks where they absolutely do not belong.
