The Mt. Washington Community Development Corporation (CDC) is excited to announce our Bike Safety Day, generously supported by the Seeds of Change Grant from the City of Cincinnati, Office of Environment and Sustainability. Join us for a fun, family-friendly event focused on promoting bike safety and sustainability in our local Mt. Washington community! 

Event Details:
Date & Time: Saturday, October 26, 2024, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Location: Stanbery Park, Parking Lot and Green Space 
Note: The parking lot will not be accessible to cars during the afternoon of October 26 for this event. Free local parking is available on Oxford Ave and in the surrounding area. 

What to Expect:
•    Free Bikes! Are you an elementary school-aged child who doesn’t own a bike? No problem. We will have a couple of new and gently used bikes available to use during the event. These bikes will be raffled off to those who attend, do not already own a bike, and participate in the Safety Rodeo.

•    Children’s Bike Course: A designated area in the parking lot will feature a miniature bike course for kids to practice their biking skills safely.

•    Recycling Opportunity: The Cincinnati Recycling and Reuse Hub will be available to collect a limited number of items for recycling. A list of items will be posted in advance. Items outside of those listed will not be accepted. 
•    Light snacks and refreshments will be provided for free to all attendees.
