Biking

Bicycling in downtown Lorain is actively supported through a variety of thoughtful initiatives designed to make the city more bike-friendly, accessible, and enjoyable for riders of all ages. From dedicated bike lanes and sharrows on key streets like Washington Avenue and State Route 58, to a comprehensive trail system that connects Lorain to Elyria and Oberlin, cyclists have numerous safe and scenic routes to explore. The Lorain Public Library even offers a bike share program, making it easy for residents and visitors to borrow bikes for recreational use. As part of the city’s Active Transportation Plan, Lorain continues to invest in infrastructure that promotes walking, biking, and rolling as healthy, sustainable transportation options. Riders will also find convenient bike racks at popular destinations like Lakeview Park and public maintenance stations throughout the city. With support from Lorain County Public Health, detailed bike maps are available to help cyclists navigate both urban and natural routes with ease.
