MoBo Bicycle Co-op

MoBo Bicycle Co-op A bicycle cooperative in the Northside neighborhood of Cincinnati, OH. The co-op is about helping people help themselves.

The co-op provides a central place for people to come to rescue bicycles and learn how to fix and maintain them. The volunteer mechanics do not fix bikes for people; they help guide members who are working on their own bicycle projects. The co-op also works for bicycle advocacy, and organizes rides, social events, and contests. Most importantly, we concentrate on empowering people, getting them on

bicycles, and having fun. Open Shop Hours
Sundays, subject to change: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Check Facebook and Instagram posts for up-to-date announcements

Bicycle Donation
Bicycle parts may be donated during open-shop hours. Volunteering
Volunteers are always welcome. Whether helping others work on bicycles or lending a hand to maintain the facility all volunteer efforts are appreciated. Look for posting requesting volunteers for new or continuing projects.

FIXING UP MOBO AND FIXING UP BIKES - IT'S KINDA OUR THING

Another busy weekend at MoBo!

Saturday, June 13th - Bike Compost Bin Move & Rebuild: 1 pm to 3 pm - we're moving the "bike compost" from its current location next to the shop to a spot close to the shed. The compost is where bikes - too far gone for repair - go before recycling, waiting to be picked up for scrap. Want to help? Everyone is welcome to pitch in - come if you can!

Sunday, June 14th - Open Shop: 11 am to 5 pm: our adult co-op members work on their bikes or adopt one from the shed for a nominal charge to fix up... while our volunteer mechanics provide expertise and guidance as members turn the wrenches.

Sunday, June 14th - Village Green Foundation Board Meeting: 6 pm. Everyone is welcome to come to the meeting and learn what's happening with MoBo & The Gardens from our board members.

Monday, June 15th - Kids Day: 5 pm to 8 pm: our year-round program for kids where they learn about fixing bikes & have fun!

There's always something happening at 1415 Knowlton St, Northside Cincinnati on the weekends - come check us out soon!
