Bike Cleveland

Bike Cleveland is creating a region that is sustainable, connected, healthy, and vibrant by promoting bicycling and advocating for safe and equitable transportation for all. We envision a network of well-designed bikeways and walkways that allow all people to safely navigate our communities and beyond. We believe biking, walking, and access to public transit should be convenient, safe, used by a majority of people, and a source of Cleveland's pride. Prior to Bike Cleveland’s establishment, bicycle advocacy was a fragmented movement shared among multiple groups. In November 2009, these groups gathered for a meeting at the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) to discuss the need for a stronger advocacy voice in Cleveland. A month later the George Gund Foundation committed money to fund a community based input process to figure out what people wanted, and out of those conversations it was decided there needed to be a single regional voice for bicycle advocacy. In January 2011, The Alliance for Biking and Walking was hired to lead Cleveland through a strategic planning process to develop this new organization. A group of local cyclists, business owners, and community.
