Discover Rides

NOTE: Normally, the ride starts at 1:00 PM, but we are collaborating with the Cranksgiving event this week, so we will meet at 12:15 PM (and leave at 12:30 PM) and ride over to Newport. There you will have the option to do the bike scavenger hunt or go on a slow ride that will stop and buy groceries as part of the charity event. If you do not have a bike rack and would rather donate money, that is also an option. As always, all of our events are free and if you do not have the means to donate at this time, we welcome you!

Join us as we discover Covington and the surrounding areas by bike. It’s a great opportunity to experience the city in a fun way, while getting to know others from the community.

Discover Rides

The theme of this ride will be trees. We will be discovering the best of nature and many of the parks, streets, and places from the perspective of the various trees in the city. We will be stopping along the route and we will give a brief description of these places and hopefully give you more insight into Covington and its natural beauty.

Ride For RedBike

As citizens of the Covington community and the broader Cincinnati area, we are sad to see that RedBike has decided to close down. While there is some movement in the community to try to get the city and/or other organizations to take on the costs, there is no guarantee that will happen.

RedBike has been a staple in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area and has provided nearly 100k rides (in 2022). The program takes in about $250k a year from fees, but that falls about $400-500k short of what it needs to be sustainable each year. To put that into perspective, the city of Cincinnati spends over $500k repaving a single lane-mile of road.

Some of the many benefits of a good bike share system is it is a great way to get exercise, it promotes healthier air, it is a great (and sometimes only) means of transportation for many people, and bikes are much quieter than automobiles.

What can you do?

If you are able, there will be a bike ride on Saturday, March 16 @ Noon. The ride will leave from Sawyer’s Point in Cincinnati (see map attached). We want as many people as possible to show up and to help the region know that we want to see the service saved and even expanded over the next few years.
