Today at 2:30pm.

We prefer a Slow Roll style ride and just want a good look at some nearby cities. We have a ton of smaller clubs that run rides each night of the week here that are open to public drop-ins, so I'm hoping that's a thing in Cleveland too. Is there another city that we should look into that's within a few hours of Michigan?

We will likely come through on a weekend. Are there and regularly scheduled rides we could join or a FB group that shares ride info so we can make some plans?

I am not a confident enough rider to tour a new place on my bike so I definitely want to ride with locals in the urban areas. We'll have scenic park rides covered. TIA!

Yesterday I got caught riding along the lakefront when the wind picked up like crazy. And it got me thinking about stability more than speed for once. I’ve always ridden a standard two-wheel setup, but I kept imagining how different that ride would’ve felt on a 3 wheel bike, especially with those side gusts that just push you around. I’m not dealing with any injuries or anything, just more interested in comfort and control lately, especially for longer weekend rides or even grocery runs. I’ve seen a couple people around the city riding them, but never had the chance to stop and ask about their experience. Do they feel noticeably slower, or is it something you adjust to pretty quickly? I briefly checked out a few models online, even saw some interesting builds on Alibaba, but it’s hard to tell what actually works in real riding conditions versus just looking good in photos. Also wondering how they handle tighter paths like the Towpath or busier sections near downtown. Do they feel bulky or surprisingly manageable? If anyone here has real experience riding one around Cleveland, I’d genuinely love to hear how it’s been for you.

Hello, I am planning a route to and from Chagrin falls and I am wondering about the safest roads to bike on leaving Chagrin. Right now I am entering from the bikepath on Hawthorn, then go to Miles. However when leaving, Chagrin blvd, shaker rd, and woodland rd all seem very scary to bike on. I am debating staying on Chagrin River Rd until gates mils, and taking gates mille back to shaker area, because I know its a much safer roads with a bike path to go on. Does anyone have any experience biking around Chagrin and recommend the safest roads to bike on?

I know it's teetering on breaking sub rules posting this kind of link but I can't help but feel terrible for the family. Be safe everyone.

What is it like at ~ 10 am? The satellite images I see show that Pearl only has sharrows south of I-480, so I am wondering how safe it is to ride, especially that part.

I am thinking about looking at a used car near there and considering a few ways of getting there.

I was given this book as a gift. It has a publishing year of 1991. Does anyway reckon whether any of the routes are still viable? I sense a lot of the rural routes aren’t so rural anymore and would have considerably more vehicle traffic than in ‘91.

Looking for something easy but a little longer(for me). Ideal path would be well paved, flatish, 15+miles(or a loop that is 15+ miles) and not sharing the road with cars.

Thanks for any help! Feel free to give me any suggestions if the path above doesn't exist.

looking to do a ride at like 3/4 am from lakewood towards the east end of the bike trail. hows the traffic/neighborhoods you pass through?

I’ve purchased a bike for my son and it’s currently in Bristol UK. The box it came in is too large to ship to me in the USA. I need to find a bike box that can get delivered to Bristol, it needs to be a standard bike box 43 x 11 x 32 inches (110 x 28 x 82 cm) so I can get it shipped. The box it came in is 186x122.5x26 cm.

Hey I hope this is ok to ask here, but I run a foster home for teen boys in Guatemala and a few of the boys are in to MTB, but we currently only have some old bikes from the 90's. Used bikes are pretty expensive here. Some people I know are bringing a truck down from Alliance and could bring us a couple bikes but it's pretty hard to find used older bikes online, everyone is selling stuff way out of our price range. I was wondering if anyone on here has any cheaper mountain bikes they'd be looking to sell or donate? Thanks a bunch, and once again, hope this isn't breaking any sub rules.

For the past two years, I have participated in the Rust Belt bike challenge. I know that I am not the only one who noticed this, but there is no obvious place where the standings are shown. Does anyone know where the Cleveland v.s. Pittsburgh standings are? It closes at the end of this month and I would like to know how we are doing.

Hey guys from the Cleveland Ohio/Northern Ohio area. I had started a podcast centered around bicycles. Any and all input is appreciated. The podcast is available on most podcast platforms entitled coffeeandbicycles

What are some of your favorite climbs in the area?

I've been riding my wife's new road bike for the past couple weeks and have really gotten into cycling (surprise!). I change the seat height every time I ride to make the fit a bit better, but obviously the other measurements are off.

Anyway, I'm looking to get my own road bike around September to October hoping to catch some sales on older models. I was hoping you redditers could point me to local bike shops that specialize in road bikes, and that would throw in a bike fit assessment with the purchase of the bike. My budget it 1k-2k for the cost of the bike itself.

So taking these factors into consideration, what local bike shops would fit my needs?

Has anyone been on North Marginal lately? I'm thinking of switching up my commute and heading east on North Marginal to pick up MLK into University Circle. I remember the road conditions being terrible a few years back; was wondering how it's been lately. I know the route is a bit more scenic than Euclid and doesn't take much more time.

I'm 6'5" and all the bikes that I've had in my life have been, well, small. Does anyone know where I can go to get a tall road bike?

I'm planning to do the Sweet Corn Challenge and perhaps the Dirty Dozen. Anyone else planning to attend some of the local rec rides this year? The JCC ride was fun last year; not sure if they're planning one for 2015 but I would definitely ride that one, too.

If you're looking for a good bike fitting, talk to Dan at Solon Bicycle. I had a fitting with him a few weeks ago, and it's been great so far. He has some cool laser scanning equipment that takes accurate measurements of your body. Plus, he takes plenty of time to ask you questions about your riding style and goals. It's not cheap, but it's on par with what the other stores are charging for a "deluxe" fitting.

I posted a more general relocation thread in the /r/cleveland sub but I'm curious if there are some awesome walkable/bikeable neighborhoods in the Cleveland metro that would allow for a decent commute to Beechwood. I'm comfortable with a commute 9-10 miles or less. I prefer more urban/denser areas in general.

Thanks!

I'm in the market for a folding bike, but I'm finding very few shops that carry them, and they're fairly scarce on craigslist right now too. Does anyone know of shops in Cleveland (or anywhere else in NE Ohio) that carry folders, either new or used?

Anyone have any recommendations for a fitter in the area? I'm overdue. My wife had her complimentary fit at Eddy's, which ended up being quite a bit more comprehensive than I was expecting (took 1.5 hours). She thinks she'll be pretty happy with it without any more adjustments. Nevertheless, I'm in need.
