Enter to win a Cleveland Bike Tour for you and 11 friends
With my last two “fun in the Cleveland sun” giveaways, we’ve checked out upcoming concerts and gone to the beach. This next one is for the active Clevelander:
I hide indoors during the winter. So once the sun starts shining and temperatures rise, I like to get outside as much as possible: dragging Scott on walks, taking a swim at our pool, and – after last year’s bike tour of downtown CLE – hopping on a bike.
Biking used to make me nervous; I had one too many falls growing up. But when the Ohio Blogging Association went on a bike tour, Anne Smith of Cleveland Bike Tours not just taught us a lot about the city, but was also incredibly patient in getting newbies like me comfortable with biking. (My recap of the downtown Cleveland bike tour)
Anne Smith of Cleveland Bike Tours leading a downtown Cleveland tour
Anne’s Cleveland Bike Tours company has been around for a couple of years. If you’re on Twitter, you may know her as @BikeCLE.
A boomerang who grew up here and eventually moved back, Anne shares her love for CLE by taking Clevelanders and tourists on tours of downtown, the east and the westsides:
The Ohio City bike tour takes riders throughout Cleveland’s artisan neighborhood. It starts and ends at the Glass Bubble Project with other stops at the Westside Market, Franklin Castle, Great Lakes Brewing, community gardens, Franklin Circle Church, Monroe Street Cemetery and more. Visit gltc.eventbrite.com for more details and specific dates.
Cleveland Bike Tours stops at the Fountain of Eternal Life Cleveland War Memorial
On the Downtown Cleveland bike tour, explore the city’s historic districts. Stops include the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, PlayhouseSquare, Public Square, the Old Stone Church, Progressive Field, Erie Street Cemetery, and the Great Lakes Science Center. Visit gltc.eventbrite.com for more details and specific dates.
Cleveland’s cultural center is the heart of the University Circle bike tour. The basic tour rides by museums, through Little Italy and Case Western Reserve University. An extended tour also includes a ride along Cleveland’s cultural gardens and a visit to the Rockefeller Greenhouse. While Ohio City and Downtown are suitable for riders of all levels, University Circle is slightly more difficult. Call (330) 532 – 8687 for details and reservations.
Bike rentals are available to take on CVNP’s Bike Aboard and the Towpath
Everything is included in the price of the tour ($40) – bikes, baskets, bells, helmets, and water. Cleveland Bike Tours also handles non-tour bike rentals that you can take on Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad’s Bike Aboard and the Towpath.
For my last summer fun giveaway, I’m giving away one bike tour for up to 12 people. The winner can choose from the Ohio City, Downtown or University Circle tours and be joined by 11 of their friends or family. (Other details about the tour: Expires October 31, 2013. Must give 48 hours notice. Valid only on the weekend. Must use the whole gift certificate at once. You can not split tours.)

I think I’d pick the Ohio city bike tour. The university circle one sounds cool, but I’m not sure I can hack it.

University Circle would be my #1 location choice. I’ve biked OH City and Downtown before, and while that was awesome, I feel like UC would provide both a country and city aspect to the ride, and I’d probably see some hidden gems of Cleveland that I haven’t seen before!
Followed both on Twitter!
Actually, just did all 5 steps!
