Bike Parade

The Riverside Drive bike lanes that were supposed to be installed this summer are in danger of being “indefinitely postponed.”

So we’re going to do what we can do while we still can, and bike to Lunken Airport and have quick a picnic, because soon that might be taken away from us.

We meet at Fountain Square at 6; we leave at 6:15. We’ll stop half-way there at the intersection of Collins Ave and Riverside to take a picture with the East End welcome sign. Then we’ll continue on to Lunken Airport and eat picnic food. You should bring picnic food. Then we come back in time for a Saturday night downtown. Read more →

A letter to Cincinnati City Council

A letter to Cincinnati City Council

“I bike on Riverside Drive. I want to continue to bike on Riverside Drive. This road provides safe access to beautiful scenery, parks and businesses. The road itself is an historical trait of Cincinnati’s personality. A dedicated bike lane will actually give people another reason and ability to identify with and become a part of it. Just as important, the road is actually flat. It is very accessible to bicyclists of all levels, and that is a rare trait for a road this long in Cincinnati.

The number of cyclists, use of bicycles as transportation, and the city’s reputation as a city that bikes is growing very fast. Cincinnatians are choosing health and clean air over sitting in their cars and adding to our smog alerts. This behavior should be encouraged, not taken away. I understand that 471 will be undergoing construction. I know that the highway will not be shut down, only face reduced lanes. If this is too troublesome for motorists, Columbia parkway is already an option. If they still wish to use Riverside Drive, that is fine, at 35 MPH. Riverside Drive is a residential street and no place for a highway. The speed limit should be enforced, not erased.

I hope that you understand that this bike lane will protect the property values of the residents on Riverside Drive, allow children to play in their front yard, and add to the quality of life for the residents of Riverside drive and the rest of the city. This is a simple matter of livability and conscience. Please, please do not let this road be misused.”
-Alex Temple

Bike Lane Struggle

We may lose the proposed Riverside Drive bike lanes. We need your help to keep this project a priority.

BACKGROUND:
The City of Cincinnati has been preparing to make changes in the lane configuration on Riverside Drive between Bains and Congress to add new bike lanes. (See  http://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/pages/-42817-/.) Queen City Bike has advocated for these changes, and worked with the East End community and the City of Cincinnati to create a plan that will benefit everyone. Read more →

Road Ride Tuesdays

Road Ride Tuesdays

Join us for a fantastic road bike ride through Northern Kentucky.

The ride starts out in two separate groups: a medium group and a fast group. Both groups start on the same route so riders can test the waters with the fast group and be caught by the medium group if the pace is too intense.

A helmet and lights are required to join our ride but please don’t forget your road bike, riding clothes and shoes, and water bottles. Our route changes often just for fun, if you would like to know the route ahead of time please call us at 859-261-6187.

Coming from work? No worries, we have facilities for you to change into your gear. The ride leaves promptly at 6:15pm.
