It’s just awesome. Super smooth and uniform width (~11 ft), with a dividing line.

My only issue, which may already be scheduled to be fixed, is the steep shoulders. In places, it reaches a height of ~12 inches steep. I would not want to see someone have a tire go even a half inch off of that edge,

I’m looking at getting my first drop bar bike soon, and the Breezer Inversion X Comp has caught my eye, and I’ve found a new one on sale still in the original box, in the PNW… I’ve never ridden one, but from what I’ve read and the shop I talked to on the phone today, I feel like it is going to suit my needs pretty perfectly. I’m just curious if anyone around here has had any experience with the brand, or the Inversion line, that may have some good or bad info to pass along for a potential buyer.

Thanks!

Hello 53 male here new to cycling I'm trying to get a group started for cyclist in the Troy Ohio area who are new or even veterans to share stories and rides in our area would be nice to share information and to help each other out

Any must-see things? Any tips? Not new to multi day backpacking, just haven't got around to OTET yet.

I found a Cateye in Sargent Park. If you lost yours please reach out. It was pretty clean and in middle of the trail so I assume it just happened, or at most this weekend.

Does anyone know how to go about reporting illegally parked cars? I encounter cars blocking the bike lane on Red Bank Road every time I ride there.

Edit to add I did make a 311 report, but was wondering specifically about ways of getting a parking enforcement officer out there more quickly as 311 doesn't often have results for these types of things

Anyone here ride up in Butler County much? I live in Trenton and work in Hamilton, and would like to try riding to work some, maybe just the weekend days for less traffic. I’m wondering if anyone has ridden around that area has any advice or extra caution with sharing the road. Or if my area is just a no-go for commuting.
Unfortunately the Greater Miami River Trail doesn’t connect to Trenton at this time, supposedly they’ve secured funding but I’m not sure when the project will start, let alone be rideable. Once that is in though it will be an easy ride

Was out on the great Miami River trail this morning so great to see people of all ages and fitness levels just getting out and enjoying the bike path whether it be riding or walking I just started riding about 2 months ago to get in to better shape and I am so happy that I did it brings me a lot of joy

I currently e-bike commute daily from Northside to Downtown and utilize the great Central Parkway bikeway. It takes me about 22-26 minutes each way. But I’ll be switching to a job in Blue Ash soon (~13 miles). I did a trial run today up there on level 3 (of 5) pedal assist it took 50 minutes. Rough route of Spring Grove->Vine->Anthony Wayne->S Cooper->Wyoming->Hunt->Waxwing->Cooper.

On the way back I bumped it up to level 4 and it was closer to 42 minutes. I also had to deal with a delay from a train crossing on the way north that I’m not sure I’d have to deal with regularly or not. The trip took ~50% battery so I’d imagine a top up every day would be needed.

The e-bike is the main thing making me consider it. I’ve been year round commuting for about 2.5 years so I get the weather aspect of it. Just curious if anyone bikes around there and can shed light on weekday traffic. Thanks all!

What insurance does everyone use ? I have a Trek Domane al5

Thinking about getting a small cycling group together for relaxed, low-stress rides around Summit Park. Nothing competitive and no pressure to keep a certain pace—just riding, getting some exercise, and meeting people.
All experience and fitness levels welcome. Nobody gets left behind.
Anyone interested?

Any thoughts on the best routes from Westwood to get to either Downtown or Northside?

Thinking about riding bike path from Troy to Xenia around 40 miles each way how many breaks should I take? I've only been riding a couple months just got a new trek domane al 5 2 weeks ago

Does anyone have a good route?

UPDATE: Thank you all for the advice. I pieced together a nice little circuit.

Hi! Does anyone have the start times for each mileage tomorrow?

Is Trek Domane al5 a good choice for OTET?

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.
