Cleveland Ohio and Running round 2

Cleveland Ohio is #39 on the top fifty bike friendly cities in America list. Cleveland has a trail from the southern border of the city to Akron which is about 110 miles long. It has also started a bike rental program for summer. The goal is to eventually add a parking garage with showers and a changing room to the start of the trail. ODOT has also come up with a $6 million dollar project to widen bike lanes throughout Cleveland.

There are several different bike trails throughout Cleveland. There is the Cleveland Lakefront Bikeway, Harrison-Dillard Routs, Euclid Corridor, and Veteran's Memorial Bridge and Lorain Carnegie. That constitutes about 80 miles of pathway for bikers. One bike lane goes the whole length of Euclid Avenue. Cleveland also has many plans for some indoor bike trails during the days when the weather is not permitting for people to be outside.

There are also several projects trying to get more bike trails in Cleveland. One group is trying to get a bike trail/ walking path along I-90. Another group is trying to get access to Cuyahoga Valley National Park to put in some bike trails. Some groups organize bike races and games involving bikes to get more people interested in biking. Making Cleveland a bike friendly city.

Also I went running this week instead of biking again. This time I went a different way on the greenway. I ran from Salem College to Salem Lake and back. It was a beautiful day for a run. I really enjoy running on this greenway. I can't wait until everything starts to bloom again. I really do enjoy running but hopefully sometime this semester I will get the courage to get on a bike that is not stationary again. I hope the weather continues to stay nice as the semester goes on because this makes going on long runs more enjoyable.
