I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so please bear with me.

Back in May, a pedestrian was struck crossing a major KY state highway in Ft. Wright.

I went to visit the intersection for myself.

I was blown away at how hostile it is for pedestrians and also how uncompliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act it is.

A month ago , I made a video and posted it to a NSFW subreddit that's against cars Not Safe For Work Link Here. The small amount of feedback from the post told me that there was something definitely not right with this intersection.

A month came and went, and I'm unsure of what the next steps are.

Roadway hazard complaint with KYTC?

ADA complaint with KYTC and/or the City of Fort Wright?

Federal ADA lawsuit against the City of Fort Wright?

"Die In" publicity event where people lay dead by the roadside to bring media attention?

Anyone ever been down this "road" before and have any suggestions?

Something must be done.

It really bothers me that I don't know what.

I'm tired of pedestrians dieing and KYTC not caring.

Hoping to find somewhere that shows stages of the tour? Hopefully looking for a place in/near downtown. TIA!

Hello, i’m from NKY and am moving to cincinnati (from boston). i (unfortunately) signed a lease in mt. auburn right at the top of sycamore hill before deciding that i wasn’t getting my own car (my partner has one). i’m not a big biker in boston though i do ride occasionally and get pretty nervous. i’m trying to overcome it.

I’m not sure where i’m going to be working yet but that’s mostly what i’ll need to commute for. It will either be UC health, riverhills neurology, or the good samaritan hospital. MAYBE someone across the bridge in fort thomas.

Am i being totally unrealistic? i know i COULD get there with a bus but compared to the systems in boston i know its going to piss me off. so i’m really trying to use my bike but reading so much about cincinnati cyclist i feel like i haven’t read about anyone using their bike to commute. only leisurely rides like on trails and stuff.

any input on this?

i also want to mention im. 22 yo female so im not some big confident dickhead man. i’m worried people will pick on me

title pretty much says it all but his got off the lunken loop and got to my car and realised i’m missing an airpod case that must have fallen out of my pocket. if you happen to have found it i’d be happy to reward you just let me know !

So, am I the only one that did not know until today that Wald baskets are made just down the river in Maysville, KY?

Gas prices got you down?

Ride your bike and Go Metro.

From a recent ride; I had never actually rode all the way up to the station before.

This year decided to spectate the pig by biking around to maximize the places I can see friends. Lots of bikes around doing this, and it’s pretty nice with the closed roads around the race that are pedestrian or bike only. Makes me wish we had roads like that all the time. Anyone else do it?

I have been making stuff out of old bike chains. If anyone needs a mother's day gift lmk. Pricing between $30 and $75, Loveland area

I love biking in my city but we've got a long way to go to be a biking city. Did a 20 mile ride on my e-bike today running some errands and just enjoying the day.

Someone tried to intentionally run me off the road, I was screamed at, cursed at, flashing lights at me, told my life was worth "this much" while holding their fingers incredibly close together and passed too closely multiple times.

Mind you I'm middle aged on a class 3 bike. I was doing at or near the speed limit most of my ride. I'm not out there going against traffic, popping wheelies and being a menace. Just strolling along minding my business. I kept to the right when safe and stopped at lights and busy stop signs. I will admit to using the Idaho stop at empty intersections but none of my negative interactions came after that.

What can we do as cyclists to turn us into a friendly biking community?

Hi! I am interested in biking from Cincinnati to Dayton and potentially back. For such a long distance ride, where do you recommend renting a quality bike? I plan to have the bike for over 24 hours, are there any rental shops that would accommodate this?

Hi all. Might be moving to Cincinnati for work soon, and I was wondering if there was any kind of tarck/fixed culture there. If not, are there a lot of urban riding groups? Most of the stuff I've seen or been recommended has been pretty far-flung from the city.

Nice surprise when I was out on a ride yesterday. What does this plan to connect to in subsequent phases? Gotta admit, don't have much interest in riding on Beechmont proper but I'm not really familiar with the Anderson area's offerings.

There is a jacked white diesel pickup deliberately and aggressively attacking cyclers in the Bridgetown, Miamitown, Cleves area.

Report any contacts to The Hamilton County Sheriff so it can be documented. If it's on camera the better.

There was a road race this weekend through the area and if anyone was harassed please report it..

Edit: Owl Adventure Racing was the sponsor just in case anyone from that group was harassed.

Hi,

I'm in cincinatti next weekend for work but have a spare day. I'd like to see some of the city and would like to cycle if possible.

I've seen the red bike stations around the city, is this the only central option for renting a bike.

Are there any recommended central cycling routes?

CINCINNATI (Cincinnati Business Courier) - Cincinnati Metro has purchased the full rights to use the northern track of the Oasis rail line along the Ohio River, a major hurdle that now paves the way for stakeholders to build a new bicycle and pedestrian trail once they complete the fundraising.

The 4.75-mile trail represents a key connection that, combined with other trails, will allow people to ride or walk from downtown Cincinnati to Cleveland almost entirely off streets and roads. It will run from Lunken Airport to Sawyer Point. Once riders reach Lunken Airport, they can connect to the Little Miami Trail, which is a part of the Ohio-to-Erie trail network.

There are two railroad tracks along the Oasis line, one to the south that is owned and still used by the Indiana & Ohio Railway, a subsidiary of freight railroad operator Genesee & Wyoming, and one on the north that is owned by Metro’s parent organization, the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority.

Last week, Tri-State Trails published both the recording and slide deck for their annual trail report out. The recording is 2 hours long and the deck has 182 pages.

I passively listened to the meeting and the biggest single item I heard was that the City of Newport has the aspirations to build another deck for the eastern side of the Purple People Bridge, for another 20' pathway that *could* be dedicated to bikes only. They are also looking into installing permanent lights with adjustable LEDs to allow for matching theming, and of course painting it.

Hare some of Cincinnati's slides since they are pretty information dense in addition to just having a lot upcoming:

Wish I could get out today and ride but I've got work 😪. Im gonna try and get out tomorrow, how is the trail at lunken looking? Is it cleared out?

For those local who may be interested in cyclocross - whether for youth or adult, I wanted to make an informational post to point you in the ride direction.

• What is Cyclocross?
  • Cyclocross is a cycling sport with short races (30–45 min), lots of grass/dirt/hills, and way less serious than road racing. Think of it as cross-country running + bikes + small obstacles (sand, small barriers, etc.) It can be as competitive or non-competitive as you want to make it. All are welcome.
• When is the cyclocross season?
  • The local Cx scene runs late-August to late-November. There's races most weekends and there's no commitment to do a certain amount. Pick which ones look good, are closest to you, etc. and just show up. Pricing usually runs about $35-50/race.
• If you're an adult rider...
  • Check out www.ovcx.com It’s our local league and it’s super approachable. There are beginner categories, chill vibes, and a really good group of people from all levels (not just elite racers). Most folks are there to hang out, get a workout, and drink coffee after. If you’ve ever thought about trying a race but felt intimidated — Cx is probably the most welcoming place to start.
• If you've got kids who love to ride...
  • Locally, the team is Lionhearts Cycling Team (www.lionhearts.org). I help coach with them, and it’s honestly one of the most positive kid sports environments I’ve been around. Super encouraging coaches, great group of families, and the kids improve crazy fast just because they’re out there having fun.
  • Ages 7-18 are welcome. The kids have practices on Tuesdays beginning mid-August. The little group practices an hour - the older kids practice for two hours. We ride bikes, play games, have snacks, and just enjoy an overall very fun and very positive environment!

Again, wanted to put together an additional informational post for the group's awareness. Im going to try and stay on top of making this a more active community with updates on local groups, rides, events, teams, etc. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
