Check out these excellent bicycle maps produced by NOACA! NOACA is a regional planning organization that helps coordinate projects throughout Northeast Ohio.  ClevelandBikes has a seat on NOACA Bicycle Action Committee which oversees projects that are eligible for federal transportation enhancement money.  ClevelandBikes advocates best practices for projects whether they are standard roads, bike lanes, or off road paths.  This means that no matter what they're working on, we let them in on the cyclist's perspective.  We use these maps to identify the areas most in need of improvement for cycling which helps direct the allocation of federal money.

The following are links to PDF versions of the maps:

Cuyahoga County
Geauga County
Lake County
Lorain County
Medina County

The maps measure 18" x 24", except for the Cuyahoga map, which is 24" x 36," and are printed on water-resistant paper, allowing you to use them on the trip!

They are color-coded, indicating streets suitable for riders with basic intermediate, or expert skills. A chart on the back of the maps can help you determine your skill level. In addition to ratings of streets, the maps show where there are off-road multi-use paths and special bike lanes or wide paved shoulders. The back shows safety tips, a summary of Ohio traffic laws especially pertinent to cyclists, a list of bike shops within the county, and some resources for cyclists, including contacts for local bike clubs and cycling instructors who offer classes to upgrade your cycling skills.

  Towpath Map

Canalway Ohio is working toward completion of the towpath trail, which is a multi-use trail that follows the old Ohio and Erie Canal through the Cuyahoga Valley. The surface of the trail is mostly crushed limestone, but some sections are asphalt. A map of the towpath is available online and print copies as well as guidebooks can be purchased at some local bicycle and outdoors stores.
