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.

ARE YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING? I THINK MOBO IS BACK!

After a brief Labor Day pause, operations are back in full swing this weekend.

- Sunday, September 13th - Open Shop - 11 am to 5 pm: we open the shop so our adult co-op members can work on their bikes (or help others) under the watchful eyes of our volunteer mechanics. We've got the tools and know-how to help you keep your bike tuned up year-round

- Monday, September 14th - Kids Day - 5 pm to 8 pm: this is the time for the kids! Adults help out but it's the kids that do the fixing of bikes for themselves and each other.

At MoBo, we don't fix your bike: you do! Our skilled mechanics provide guidance, so you learn how to keep your bike tuned up and ride ready. Join us for a reasonable membership fee - or join in exchange for a few volunteer hours. We hope to see you stop by and learn more about us soon!
