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!

A great chance to meet the candidates for the upcoming election and let them know you want safer streets for all ages and abilities.

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.

RTC hosts a booth every 3rd Saturday of the month. If you have a bike, and would like to stop by and get it tuned up, we will be there to help assist you. If you want more information about Ride the Cov and what we are doing or what we are about, it’s also a great opportunity to meet us.

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.
This ride is put on by Discover Rides. Meet at Mainstrasse Village, Covington Kentucky by the fountain. If you have never been on a community bike ride, we would love for you to come out and enjoy Covington in a new way.

Ride The Cov will be at the Covington Farmer’s Market on Saturday, June 24th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. If you need a bike tuneup, please stop by. We will also have information about various bike related events in the Covingron area. We’d love for you to stop by and checkout what is happening in the local biking community
Both Covington and Newport plan to hold an open house to discuss a new bicycle plan in NKY. We would love for you to come out on either night and let city officials know that you want safe, dedicated cycle lanes (in high-speed or high-conflict areas) that are welcoming to all users and all ages. Here are a few items that we would like to see in the creation of a bicycle transportation plan:
Cohesive: It’s not enough to have a couple disconnected lanes scattered across NKY. A well designed plan should be a network that connects neighborhoods to popular destination spots.

We will be at the Covington Farmer’s Market on Saturday, May 27 from 9 AM to 1 PM. If you need a bike tune up or just want to stop by and learn more about what we are doing, please stop by. We would love to meet you.
This is a great opportunity to get your voice heard and to let state and local officials know that you want better biking and public transit infrastructure. There is a large amount of money from the Inflation Reduction Act and bipartisan infrastructure bill that is allocated for underserved communities. Let’s move toward a more sustainable future for all.
