Be among the first to cycle (legally) from Downtown to the Towpath Trail without leaving the Flats!

The Ohio City Bicycle Co-op's annual winter ride this year will feature a special treat: Steelyard Commons is opening this week, and with the West 3rd St. Bridge now open, we'll ride all the way to the Ohio-Erie Canal Visitor's center without climbing a single hill!

Except of course for the sledding hill. We'll take a trailer to carry some sleds and skis for the three custom ski-bikes we've built, along with a heater and some cocoa and cider, to stop along the way and enjoy the seasonal weather (5" of snow predicted for tonight!).

Knobby tires are necessary as the Towpath is not plowed, but if you only ride as far as the sled hill, a road bike might work. On our return to the co-op (around 4PM), enjoy renowned vegan chili, with non-vegan fixin's, and help yourself to the power washer to clean your bike. No registration fee will be charged, but donations are appreciated.
