MoBo Bicycle Co-op

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!

PARTS? DID YOU SAY... PARTS?

Thanks to everyone who has donated parts to MoBo, either by coming by during our Open Shop, or participating in events like the recent HUB recycling event! Your donations help keep our co-op humming and keep folks around Cincinnati pedaling.

Thinking of a MoBo membership? A membership gets you access to all the tools and guidance you need - and for nominal charges, boatloads of parts - to keep you rolling all year long. Here's when we're open.

Open Shop: Sunday, June 7th - 11 am to 5 pm. Open Shop is our weekly time when adult members work on their bikes with the guidance of our volunteer mechanics.

Kids Day: Monday, June 8th - 5 to 8 pm. We've got bikes for the kids; they fix them up and learn all about riding each Monday, year-round.

Come by when we're open and check us out - more information accessed online, link in bio!
