Clifton was one of the original Red Bike stations when Cincy Red Bike launched in Cincinnati during September 2014. The Clifton station is located on Howell Avenue next to the Business District Parking lot.

Whether this station is your start or end point, or even just a waypoint on a set of errands you are running, you can connect easily to all points Uptown. There are stations around Uptown also so you can return your bike there, and get a new one when you are ready to travel again. In a short amount of time, you can also cycle from Clifton to a variety of other locations in the urban core: Findlay Market, Washington Park, Northside. Phase II stations are starting to be installed during June 2015 including nearby at Hoffner Park in Northside and Cincinnati State Technical and Community College.

You can find nearby Red Bike stations as well as the status at any station by using the smart phone app for iPhone or Google Play.

Cincy Red Bike has a great website explaining the system & the bikes, and you can sign up for a membership as well.

You can put a Red Bike on the front of a Metro Bus in case you don’t want to ride uphill on your return back to Clifton. The Red Bikes come with integral cable locks, baskets, flashing front/rear lights, and fenders. Bring your own helmet for safety.

At the June CTM meeting, the CPD District 5 team (Capt. Bardua, Sgt. Volkerding, Officer Hageman) updated us with the Clifton neighborhood crime statistics for YTD 2015. Check out more details here.
