Dear Cincinnati bike rider: you make a noble attempt to navigate our town’s many hills, freeways and narrow roads on a daily basis. Certainly it’s hard enough just dragging yourself out of bed for the morning ride to work, let alone having to worry about how not to get run over by your vehicle-operating fellow commuters. It can get lonely and stressful out there on two wheels. Good thing there’s MoBo, Cincinnati’s non-profit, all-volunteer bicycle cooperative. MoBo provides cyclists with the technical know-how, tools and parts necessary to keep bikes in working order as well as a community space in which to gather and discuss how best to stick it to the motorists. Get acquainted with MoBo at 7 p.m., when everyone’s invited to their Third Annual Fund-raiser Party at Northside’s Off the Avenue Studios. Twelve dollars gets you in the door ($10 if you’re a member). You’ll find a raffle and silent auction, live music from Chuck and Lisa of Wussy and the Read (and more), and chow from Melt, the Hideaway and Take the Cake. Advance tickets are on sale now at Park Vine and Shake It. Get venue details here.
