Cuyahoga Greenways is a blueprint for linking neighborhoods, parks, Lake Erie, the Cuyahoga River, and public transit through a comprehensive countywide network of trails that are safe and welcoming for people of all ages and abilities. Cuyahoga Greenways expands the mobility options available to residents and visitors throughout Cuyahoga County.
Cuyahoga County's Bike-with-a-Mayor (BWAM) initiative continues to grow in popularity and expand its offerings. Communities are now including Bike-with-a-Leader, involving City Council members and other elected officials, as well as Hike-with-a-Mayor for those who prefer walking.
Since its inception, Bike-with-a-Mayor events have involved more than 820 participants, 14 communities offering 22 events, 18 local businesses, and 43 elected officials. The County Executive has participated in 6 of these events.
BWAM events are a chance for mayors to showcase trails, bikeways and other initiatives within their communities. They also provide opportunities for residents to connect with their elected officials and share their support for trail and bikeway projects—current and future.
Connect with your local cycling or hiking group and work with your local leadership to schedule your Bike or Hike with a Mayor for the 2025 season! Don't have a biking group in your community? Contact Bike Cleveland for help in getting an event started.
