Quick ride by bicycle from Rocky River to Cleveland

Set out from Rocky River, a laid-back lakeside suburb known for its parks and river views, and pedal your way into the heart of Cleveland! This roughly 18.6 km ride is a great mix of quiet roads (almost half the journey), smooth cycleways, and just a taste of busier city streets as you near downtown.

You’ll start with chill residential neighborhoods, passing leafy parks and maybe catching a glimpse of the Rocky River itself. As you cruise toward Cleveland, keep an eye out for classic Cleveland skyline views. You’ll climb a bit (expect about 134 meters ascent), but there’s a nice descent to reward your efforts before you reach the city.

Roll into Cleveland, the home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a thriving food and arts scene. The route is mostly paved and pretty friendly for cyclists. Perfect for anyone looking to swap the suburbs for some city excitement on two wheels!
