August 3, 2023
We are halfway through the summer; can you believe it? We can! Red Bike is amazed by how much you are riding this year; we are having our highest ridership ever! The Red Bike office has been busy fixing bikes, installing new stations, planning parties, and even assembling new e-bikes and stations. We appreciate all the support our communities have continued to give us, and we cannot wait to grow more with you all!
Regional Trail & Bikeway Committee
Two folks from the Red Bike team are headed to the Digital Futures building on August 4th to discuss the Community Bike Routes program, which we announced earlier this summer. There will be multiple mini-presentations about projects in the tri-state that make our communities better for walking and cycling. Elese Daniel and Nate Weyand-Geise will be joined by Kathy Cunningham and Vincent Wilson from Queen City Bike, whose bicycling expertise helped to identify enjoyable and safe routes throughout the city. OKI Regional Council of Governments and Tri-State Tails will also speak at this event. Click here to learn more information.
Community Ride on August 6th
Red Bike is hosting another group ride, and this time, we are riding one of our many Community Routes! Meet us at the Red Bike station at Smale Riverfront Park, and we will bike across state lines and ride through Newport, Bellevue, and Dayton, Kentucky. Halfway through, we will stop at the new Roebling Point Books & Coffee location. Are you interested in joining us this Sunday? Click the link to RSVP!

UC Involvement Fair
Red Bike is attending the University of Cincinnati’s Involvement Fair on August 17th to inform the incoming and returning students about bikeshare as a transportation and recreation option for enjoying the city beyond the campus. In the first four weeks of classes, UC offers various programs demonstrating the excitement of being a Bearcat. Red Bike is thrilled to be attending this event, talking with the students, and helping them better understand how bicycling can positively impact their lives. If you know someone who attends UC, tell them to stop by our table to learn about Red Bike and grab some free stuff! Want to learn more? Click here.
