CoGo is a great supporter of Yay Bikes! This month we're helping them celebrate 8 years of bike share in Columbus. Bike share is still one of the best ways to explore and commute in Central Ohio. Last year they even added an ebike fleet to complement the Classic bikes you’ve grown to love. 

In celebration of their 8th year, they've given us eight (8) CoGo Annual Memberships to give away! You can be entered into a drawing to win one of these memberships, by becoming a Yay Bikes! member and registering for Bike the Cbus by August 8th. Winners will be notified via email by August 15th.

The Yay Bikes! board members recently vetted the 10 mile City Center Route. Vetting the routes helps us determine if the route is safe and fun. There can always be last minute changes to the routes due to unexpected road work. Ride with GPS route links will be emailed to all registered ride participants a few days prior to ride weekend. Printed versions will also be available at packet pickup.

We need volunteers! There are a variety of needs available. Please click here for descriptions and sign up! All volunteers will receive a t-shirt, boxed lunch from Hollywood Casino and a raffle ticket for each volunteer shift they work.

Packet pickup will be held at Hollywood Casino Columbus, on the following days:

Sunday, August 29th - 4 -7 pm

Tuesday, August 31st - 4-7 pm

Picking up your packet in advance of ride weekend will ensure you have all the information and supplies you need to complete your ride anytime Labor Day weekend and start from anywhere on the route. T-shirts and jerseys can also be picked up at this time.

Packets, tshirts and jerseys can also be picked up at the casino on Sunday, September 5th beginning at 8:00 a.m. If you want to start riding earlier than 8:00 a.m., please pick up your packet in advance.
