Being a third generation Pittsburgher it’s in my blood to hate on Cleveland, at least tongue in cheek and especially when it comes to football and burning rivers. In reality the people of Cleveland that I’ve met through cycling are some of my favorites to hang with at events, with a number of them involved in a growing bike based economy in their hometown. Fresh Water Cleveland recently had a short feature pointing out all of the bike businesses popping up in town—Blazing Saddles Cycle, Yehuda Moon Comics, Forest City Portage, Ray’s MTB Park, Bringheli frame tools, and framebuilders Cicli Polito and Rustbelt Welding. It’s an impressive list for one of the smaller big cities in the country, and not exactly one people think of as a cycling hotbed. Only being a couple of hours away via highway it’s nice to see some of these folks regularly throughout the year, and give them a hard time about the Browns.
