YOUNGSTOWN — Bike Share Youngstown will host a YO! Motion Mobilizing Midlothian Community Bike Ride and Health Fair 1 to 4 p.m. June 29 at the Youngstown Playhouse to promote bicycling as a safe, accessible and healthy mode of transportation.

The free event is designed to mobilize residents around the Midlothian corridor bike lane and advocate for bike-friendly infrastructure, education on cycling safety and creating inclusive opportunities for cyclists of all backgrounds and abilities.

Through group rides, maintenance assistance and community events, YO! Motion unites neighbors to build a more vibrant, connected and bike-friendly Youngstown. The organization’s goal is to not only promote safe and healthy cycling, but to celebrate the rich history and positive changes happening in the Midlothian corridor.

During the event, participants will stop at various local landmarks to highlight the vibrant community and the developments taking place. Participants will learn about the history of iconic locations like the Youngstown Playhouse on Glenwood Avenue, Schewbel’s Bakery on Midlothian Boulevard and the new developments by YNDC that are revitalizing the area.

The route will offer an opportunity to explore the ongoing transformation and growth within Youngstown while engaging with the surrounding community. Pre-registration is encouraged via Eventbrite.

During the event, the community will have an opportunity to participate in a group ride led by CycWard Bike Club, receive free health screenings, taste local cuisine in the form of food trucks, connect to critical social and health services, connect to the growing cycling community in Youngstown and learn about the rich history between the Glenwood Avenue and Midlothian Boulevard corridors.
