More fitness. America’s obesity epidemic curbed. Less gasoline burned, fewer carbon emissions. Safer streets. Improved access to public transit. Those are just some of the reasons why biking and walking proponents say it’s time for the federal government to focus less on new and expanded highways, and far more on safe pathways and “complete streets” for our towns and cities.

Location
As part of Cleveland BikeWeek events, join more than 1,200 other volunteers for this annual celebration that cleans up areas around the Cuyahoga River. Make the world cleaner by arriving on a bicycle to the starting point on the west bank of The Flats. Wear long pants and closed-toed shoes. We’ll watch your bike and provide gloves, trash bags, water and a t-shirt. Following the fun trash pick-up, you’ll be treated to a lunch, live music and a chance to meet and mingle with thousands of other people working toward a cleaner Cleveland.
This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.
