The Long Street Tour's “Bike the C-Bus” is a fun way to check out a few of the neighborhoods in and around Columbus. Experience segments of the King Lincoln District, Woodland Park, Olde Town East, Downtown, Short North Arts District, Italian Village, Harrison West, Victorian Village, Arena District, Franklinton, Brewery District and German Village.

The entire ride will cover approximately 30 miles over 4 segments and will feature stops that highlight change that is occurring in our neighborhoods. Each stop will be sponsored by businesses and community groups and provide snacks, drinks and entertainment for the riders. The ride is configured to allow cyclists to complete segments if they do not feel comfortable riding the entire route.

The $25 early bird (before August 26, 2011) registration fee includes an official 2011 “Long Street Tour” t-shirt and wristband for access to drinks and food at designated rest stops, plus a free lunch at the hospitality area. After August 26, the $30 registration fee includes your wristband for access to drinks and food at designated rest stops, plus a free lunch at the hospitality area. Unfortunately t-shirts will NOT be available to registrations after August 26, so make sure you register early.

Bike the C-Bus is the region's premier cycling event celebrating design, health & fitness, and urban lifestyles. Bike the C-Bus is considered a ride and not a race and will offer a variety of course options to accommodate everyone from recreational riders to hard-core fitness enthusiasts.
