Special Event Rides

Akron Bike Week: The 3^rd annual Akron Bike Week runs September 3-12. Held every September to promote biking as an alternative form of transportation.  While most of the events are recreational, the City is committed to supporting bicycling and Bike Week is a fun way to get people out on their bikes by sponsoring a week worth of events. See News for details.

Think Spring: The 18^th annual Think Spring Ride will be held on Saturday, April 17 2010 at the Ledges Shelter in the CVNP. Come one out to ride, picnic, and sell their bicycle stuff.

Tandem Weekend: The 15^th No Frills Tandem Weekend will be held the weekend of May 28-30, 2010. All rides leave from Seville. Friday early arrival pre-dinner spin; Saturday ride through the beautiful Overton Valley; Sunday historic Canal Fulton.

The ABC Ride: Our 35^th edition of our Absolutely Beautiful Country Ride will be held Sunday, July 11, 2010. Last year we had about 85 century riders, 139 metric century riders, and 84 quarter century riders and families. The weather was ideal this year, with a sunny day with temperatures in the mid-70s.

Roscoe Ramble: Our 37^th Roscoe Ramble will be held Saturday & Sunday, August 13–1, 2011. In 2009 we had 98 riders who rambled to Roscoe Village in Coshocton, Ohio. The new, flatter, Sunday route that included the paved Holmes County Bicycle Trail was a success. Saturday was a breezy mild day, while Sunday was a breezy but hot (92º) day. 2010 details on the Roscoe link above.

Safety and Advocacy

Share the Road License Plates

After years of effort by the Ohio Bicycle Federation, H.B. 406 was signed into law, authorizing the issuance of a special "Share the Road" license plate. Sales from this special plate will fund bicycle safety education in Ohio and the publication of Ohio Bicycling Street Smarts
