How to take a bike tour of the Cleveland script signs

Driving the news: We consulted our friends at Bike Cleveland for a pre-mapped route to tackle this holiday weekend.

• You can find dozens of others at Bike Cleveland and elsewhere.

33 miles: The Cleveland Script Sign Tour

Why we love it: The route, which passes by all five outdoor Cleveland script signs and takes place entirely on pavement, begins and ends at Public Square and offers highlights of the city's east and west sides.

• We dig the extended engagement with Lake Erie along North Marginal Road and the scenic beauty of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens and Edgewater Park.

Be smart: Plan for a full morning or afternoon, as the ride takes at least three hours without counting photo opps and pit stops.

Where to stop: Near the Tremont script sign, you'll have access to the nearby eateries and watering holes in Tremont and Ohio City.

• Why not stick to the route and hop off at Hoopples or Brick and Barrel?

🚲 Pro tip: From the west side, we get to Public Square by riding east on Detroit Avenue, which takes us past Joy Machines Bike Shop.

• Before a long ride, stop at your local shop for last-minute essentials.
