As Cincinnatians prepare for the grand opening of the Cincinnati Streetcar on Sept. 9, bicyclists are encouraged to educate themselves on bike safety along the streetcar route.
On Saturday, Aug. 6 Queen City Bike held a free “Cycling the Streetcar Route Safely Clinic” at the Washington Park Red Bike Station.
The free event was open to the public and riders were encouraged to bring their own bike, or use a Cincy Red Bike. The clinic lasted approximately 90 minutes and the ride navigated the 3.6 mile route and demonstrate how to ride along it safely.
For those who are interested in bike safety but weren't able make it to the past weekend’s clinic, Queen City Bike will hold two more Saturday clinics on Aug. 20 and Sept. 3 at 10 a.m. at Washington Park. Cyclists can also learn biking safety tips by watching the new Cincinnati Streetcar Bike Safety Video.
