Comment on Bicycle Map for Cleveland Heights and University Heights by Jim Miller

Jim Miller — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 05:30:51 +0000

The main beginner’s level street missing (as it is missing on the NOACA bike map) is Cottage Grove south from Cedar, past Meadowbrook, to Kensington, jogging to Stratford, and then south to Fairmount on Stratford, and really to North Park. This is a significant north-south route in Cleveland Hts., quite safe. I am rarely riding on Stratford, when I don’t encounter at least one other person on a bike. The road north from Cedar on Cottage Grove is shown as a route. North-south routes in Cleveland Hts. are hard to come by, so this omission is a serious gap – one mile’s worth – in the map.

Does anyone know if the racks on the buses lock somehow so nobody can boost your bike off the bus at a light?

I would like to see a campaign that is dedicated to the cleaning of streets, mainly broken glass. What good is a bike lane when it’s covered with glass.

Did anyone notice that the map doesn’t indicate the hill on Mayfield?

Just found you guys! I am a South Euclid resident that crossed America by bike in 2007. To my knowledge I am the Cleveland Clinics first and only heart patient to have done it. Would love information about your coalition.

Comment on Reporting (and Hopefully Recovering) Your Stolen Bicycle by Fran Mentch

Great idea! I hope the police will watch your area. Obviously you are being targeted as an area for harvesting bikes. I wish you could put one out as a decoy and have the police watch it to see how long it takes for a harvester to come along.
The public libraries are periodically targeted for bike theft, too.

“They can’t ride up next to cars that have stopped in front of them at a light.”

Is this in fact true? I’ve always been under the impression that bikes were allowed to do this… even if this is against the law, doing so makes me feel safer in traffic to do so and I will continue to do it.

When I feel safer breaking the law than following it, I will break it any day of the week.
