HOMEtours: Slavic Village
The Slavic Village Industrial Valley bike route is an 11.4-mile loop starting and ending in the Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation, showcasing the distinct neighborhood typology common among many Cleveland neighborhoods that developed rapidly during the 19th and 20th centuries. Homes of all varieties neighbor light and heavy manufacturing facilities, commercial corridors and a growing proportion of greenspace and neighborhood amenities. The ride is primarily on off-road trails and bike lanes with some on-street segments. If you download the “Ride with GPS” app, you can send turn by turn instructions right to your phone. You can also view them online. Points of interest include public art, parks and historical points of interest. Much of the planning work to revitalize Slavic Village along this route has been led by Slavic Village Development. Be sure to check with local businesses in the area for potential dining or carry out hours, including Seven Roses, Red Chimney, Saucisson, Daisy’s Ice Cream (all on Fleet Avenue), Bum’s Saloon (Broadway) and East 49th Tavern (Cuyahoga Heights), among others.
